Episode 161: Keep It Simple - Beliefs and Identity

An area we spend the most time coaching on is beliefs and identity. You are what you think, and you are what you believe you are. The important thing is to discern which beliefs you have are from yourself and which are from other people. It’s also important to be clear on which ones you want to keep and which ones you want to throw away. In today’s episode of the Keep It Simple series, we discuss how identities are sometimes imposed upon us. They are like seeds planted by others, blooming in our minds until they become the beliefs we have about ourselves. I’m showing you how to uncover some beliefs that are not true to you and how to unlearn them.
