About this episode

Jules Sebastian explores the concept of success and the personal stories that define us, encouraging listeners to let go of limiting beliefs.

A proper heart-to-heart. In this solo episode, Jules goes deep on something she's been thinking about a lot lately: letting go of the things that define us. The stories we carry, the pressure we put on ourselves, and whether the version of success we're chasing was even ours to begin with. Jules opens up about a belief she carried for almost her whole life, that she wasn't smart, formed in year four over a struggle with fractions, and how that single story quietly shaped her decisions, her confidence and the way she walked into rooms for decades. It's a powerful reminder of how the labels we accept about ourselves can become an identity we never actually chose. From there, Jules explores the beliefs so many of us carry without questioning. I'm too emotional. I'm bad with money. I'm behind in life. I'm only valuable when I'm productive. She talks about where these stories come from, how repetition turns them into truth, and the gentle, everyday ways we can start creating evidence against the lie.
