I share what beliefs are, how they are created, how they might be impacting you and questions to reflect on.
If you think a friend would find this episode helpful, I would really appreciate you sharing it with them. And if you’re enjoying the podcast, it would mean the world to me if you could leave a review, as it helps me reach even more people to normalise not having it all figured out.
