About this episode

This episode explores the reasons behind repetitive harmful behaviors and encourages listeners to take actionable steps towards personal truth and change.

Part 2: Why do we keep repeating the same patterns even when they hurt us? In this episode, Stop Lying to Yourself examines the logic behind behavior: the beliefs, payoffs, and scripts that can quietly shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we deserve, and the choices we make. Viewers are challenged to assess actions by their results and thoughts by their rationality; identify the life chain, life script, and personal truth influencing their lives; and stop rewarding the behavior that keeps them stuck. Part 2 moves from insight to action, asking viewers to decide who they are on purpose, earn better by showing up differently, and take one courageous act of non-silence. The message is clear: you can respect others and still tell the truth and speaking up may be the first step toward finally living your own life.  This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors. on’t wait!
