Episode Details

In this solo episode, Julie explores one of the most transformative ideas in positive psychology and in our ability to thrive: that our beliefs don't just reflect reality — they create it. Drawing on her own personal story about inherited beliefs around rest and worth, she walks listeners through the science of how beliefs wire the brain, and shares a simple four-step inquiry practice for identifying, questioning, and transforming limiting beliefs into ones that actually serve the life you want to build, based on Bryon Katie’s ‘The Work”.

Practice for the Week:

Take one belief you're carrying — especially one you inherited rather than consciously chose. Write it down. Take it through the four steps: name it, question it, feel what it costs you, and find the turnaround.

Start with one story.  See what happens when you hold it up to the light.

Our stories are not facts. And when you change the story you're living in, you change the life you're living. You move from surviving to thriving.

Thrivers, you are the author. The pen is in your hand.
