Episode 367: Beliefs, Values, and the road back to yourself:  What if some of the beliefs running your life were never actually chosen by you?

About this episode

This episode explores the distinction between values and beliefs and its significance in healing and identity.

In this episode, we explore the difference between values and beliefs — and why that distinction matters so deeply in healing, recovery, relationships, and identity. We talk about:• Survival beliefs formed in childhood• The gap between who you want to be and what feels possible• Compliance-based identities• Emotional reality being deprioritized in families and systems• Why coping patterns often hide deeper values• The voices from the past that still shape how we live and love• And how healing is often the process of finding your way back to yourself This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered:“Is this actually who I am… or just who I had to become?” Listen now on Thanks for Sharing.
