Back to EpisodesWhen an Old Story Is Still Making Your Choices | Scott Mason
Description
What if some of the choices you’re making today are being influenced by stories you’ve carried for years?
In Week 2: CHOOSING of Delay the Binge™: The Journey, Pam Dwyer talks with Scott Mason, known as The Myth Slayer, about the beliefs and stories that can quietly shape our identity, behavior, and choices. Scott shares his five toxic myths, why recognizing the story beneath a behavior can create space to choose differently, and how small actions begin giving us evidence that another story is possible.
The conversation also takes a deeply personal turn as Scott shares a mysterious illness that nearly took his life, a vivid dream in which he was told his “number was up,” and an extraordinary hospital experience that changed the way he understood his life.
In this episode:
• The stories operating beneath our choices
• Scott’s five toxic myths
• How naming a pattern can create a pause
• Silence, listening, and intentional choice
• Scott’s remarkable near-death experience
• Why changing an old story can mean grieving an identity
• How small actions help us practice change
THE DOORWAY: Recognizing what’s choosing for you.
Ask yourself:
What old story about who you are, or who you’re supposed to be, might still be making choices for you?
Maybe you don’t have to rewrite the entire story today.
Maybe your next choice is simply to recognize that you are the one holding the pen now.

Pause. Choose. Build momentum. Finish stronger.
This is Delay the Binge™
Delay the Binge™ explores the patterns behind burnout, Quiet Depletion, reactive coping, and the behaviors we return to even when we know they no longer serve us.
Through emotionally honest conversations and practical insight from experts in neuroscience, psychology, resilience, wellness, leadership, and human behavior, we explore why we do what we do, what happens when stress and depletion take over, and how small intentional choices can begin to change what happens next.
Because lasting change isn’t about getting it right every time. It’s about learning to recognize the pattern, create a pause, and choose your next right move.
Pause. Choose. Build momentum. Finish stronger.
