Podcasts about Belief

Everybody wants something. Success. A relationship that works. The version of themselves they see in their head. Inspired by Ben Havn's "Looking Good," Niyi breaks down the three things that actually get you there, and none of them are luck. First, you have to learn. Most of the frustration you're carrying comes from not knowing what you're doing, and getting your information from people on Instagram who don't know either. Read the books. Take the courses. Get real knowledge instead of guessing your way through life. Second, you have to believe in yourself, and that belief isn't something you just decide to have. You build it through reflection. Knowing what you want and why you want it. Facing the parts of yourself you've been avoiding instead of running from them. Third, you have to put in the work. Deep work on yourself first, then work in the world making it happen. Knowledge without action is nothing. Belief without action is nothing. Set the goal. Build the plan. Follow through until you get it. That's the whole game. 2 days left to join Lock In. $90 to lock in your one goal for 90 days. Enroll now at imnotyou.com/lockin

Unique catches up with her client Nicole, a 57-year-old physiotherapist from South Australia who successfully healed her gallbladder, reversed severe fatty liver, eliminated pancreatitis, cured chronic eczema, and resolved metabolic syndrome using the Bean Protocol—all without surgery or medication. Huzzah!Key Discussion HighlightsThe Turnaround Moment: After ending up in the ER with a blocked bile duct and being scheduled for gallbladder removal, Nicole chose to discharge herself and find a root-cause solution.Reversing "Irreversible" Conditions: Bloodwork and scans confirmed her fatty liver was gone in 6 months, her metabolic syndrome/pre-diabetes reversed, and her severe foot eczema disappeared in 3 months.The Role of Fiber & Soluble Beans: How dedicated soluble fiber intake binds to bile, clears toxins, lowers cholesterol (Nicole's dropped from 7.2 to 3.6), and supports liver detoxification.Overcoming Coffee Dependency: Nicole details her journey off coffee (a staple during her 8-year battle with chronic/adrenal fatigue) and how breaking caffeine addiction restored her baseline daily energy.Active Aging & Muscle Building: Nicole shares how she built 2 kg of lean muscle mass in her late 50s through resistance training and cycling, debunking age-related decline myths.Practical Travel Hacks: How Nicole dehydrates her own home-cooked bean stews and packs freeze-dried chicken breast to stick to her health boundaries while traveling or camping.Links & Resources Mentioned:Unique's 12-Week women's Fiber healing group w/ Karen Hurd.

Send Jackie A Message!Someone once told me, kind of proudly, that he scrolls right past every sponsored listing on Google. Like it was a small act of resistance. I've thought about it ever since, because I don't think he was talking about Google at all. He was telling me what he believed about paying to be seen.A lot of you believe some version of that about your own advertising. You're just not saying it out loud. It shows up as the ad you keep not running.This is the final episode of ads month, and we're going through the four beliefs you have to shift to grow your yoga or Pilates studio with paid advertising: that ads feel gross or "not who I am," that a $20 to $30 lead is too expensive, that your town or niche is too small, and that you couldn't handle the volume if it worked.You'll get real numbers: what a healthy business puts toward marketing, what a normal cost per lead looks like on meta ads, and why $5 a day is working against you. If growth has felt hard, listen before busy season hits.The Studio CEO Ads Agency application takes under two minutes. Link below.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] The Google conversation I've never forgotten[03:41] What the data says your marketing budget should be[06:00] Running the math on a $300,000 studio[09:17] Belief 1: Ads feel gross, icky, or not who I am[11:30] Why an organic listing doesn't mean better teaching[14:58] Belief 2: A $20 to $30 lead is too expensive[20:17] Belief 3: My town is too small, my niche too narrow[22:28] Belief 4: What if I can't handle the volume[24:31] The four flipped beliefs and your next stepKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ Every business pays to get new students. The question is whether you're doing it on purpose or whenever the local magazine calls about their January issue. ✓ Businesses under $5 million in revenue typically put 7 to 8 percent of gross revenue into marketing. Businesses going after growth run 10 to 12 percent. ✓ A healthy cost per lead on meta ads sits between $20 and $30. Dialed-in ads with strong creative can hit $12 to $18. ✓ Being the organic result doesn't mean your teachers are better. It means your website is set up the way the algorithm likes. ✓ Your ad buys visibility. Your landing page builds the trust. ✓ A small town or narrow niche is an advantage. You're not competing with national brands at national spend.PULL QUOTES"You are not buying credibility. You're buying the chance to be seen.""The route is never the point. The trust building, that's the point.""The paid listing at the top is just a business owner who knows what they're doing.""That's a next-level problem. That's a good problem to be solving."FAQsHow much should a yoga or Pilates studio spend on marketing? The Small Business Administration recommends businesses under $5 million in revenue put 7 to 8 percent of gross revenue into marketing. Studios going after growth routinely run 10 to 12 percent.What is a good cost per lead for a yoga or Pilates studio?$20 to $30 is normal and healthy on meta ads. Strong creative and close management can bring it to $12 to $18. Above $30 means something needs work.Do paid ads make my studio look less legitimate than organic? No. How someone finds you doesn't determine what they experience once they're there. The ad buys visibility. Your testimonials and reviews build the trust.Will Facebook and Instagram ads work in a small town? Yes, and a small market is an advantage. You're not competing with national brands at national budgets, so your ad gets seen well by people who can walk in your door.Why aren't my ads working when I only spend $5 or $10 a day?Low budgets keep you in the platform's learning phase much longer. Meta and Google need data to figure out who buys from you, and small spend slows that down.What if I get more new students than I can handle? That's an operational problem, not a reason to wait. You control the spend, so you can dial in how many new students you can serve well each month.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficialThe Studio CEO Ads Agency: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/agencyJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST #AMI Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Text us your questions!Randy and Kyle get brutally honest about the moment doubt stops feeling like “questions” and starts feeling like unbelief, including what it's like to say that out loud when you're a pastor with a church, a family, and a job that takes for granted that you believe in God.We dig into the philosophy and the lived spirituality behind the words we toss around too easily: belief, disbelief, doubt, and faith. Kyle unpacks the senses in which belief is (and isn't) an attitude toward a proposition, why certainty is basically impossible, and why faith can't survive if it's treated like a 100% confidence score. From “faith that” (propositions like the resurrection) to “faith in” (trust, loyalty, relationship), we explore how acceptance, hope, desire, and resilience can carry a Christian faith journey through seasons when your mind won't cooperate.We also talk Bible language like pistis as faithfulness, the hiddenness of God, and why the tradition is full of saints and spiritual giants who knew darkness from the inside. Our goal isn't to shame atheism or glorify doubt, but to make space for honesty and widen the possibilities for understanding what faith can mean.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Questions about how to deal with someone whose mission is to tear down everyone else's beliefs about Jesus, how to help a child or teen who seems liable to turn away form God due to peer pressures, and how to reach a daughter who says she wouldn't be a Christian even if it were true.   How do you deal with a Christian who has deconstructed and whose mission is to try to tear down everyone else's beliefs about Jesus? What should parents do to help a child or teen who seems liable to turn away from God due to peer pressures? How can I reach my daughter, who professed to be saved as a child but now is out of church, in a relationship with a trans man, and says she would not be a Christian even if Christianity were true?

Want help uncovering the real reasons behind your urges and build a plan to overcome your pornography use? Click here to book a free call with Sam to get help to overcome pornography – https://stopporn.info/    Have questions you want me to address on future podcast episodes? Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: Why do so many men continue struggling with porn addiction even when they're highly disciplined, successful, and motivated to quit? One of the biggest reasons is that pornography addiction often isn't driven by a lack of willpower—it's driven by the beliefs we carry about ourselves. In this episode of a live session, we explore one of the most powerful mindset shifts in porn addiction recovery: learning to separate your identity from your mistakes, failures, and current skill set. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm a failure," "I'm not enough," or "There's something wrong with me," you'll discover why those beliefs create even more shame, emotional pain, and pressure—the very things that often fuel pornography use in the first place. You'll learn why your actions are often a reflection of your current skills, knowledge, and emotional capacity—not your worth as a person. Instead of allowing setbacks, mistakes, or life challenges to become evidence that you're broken, you'll discover how to identify the real problem, separate facts from self-judgment, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress and disappointment. Whether you're trying to quit porn, overcome pornography addiction, prevent another porn relapse, or experience lasting freedom from porn, changing your negative beliefs is one of the most important steps in long-term porn addiction recovery. When your identity is no longer tied to every mistake or setback, shame loses its grip—and with it, much of the emotional pressure that keeps the pornography cycle alive. If you're tired of feeling trapped by self-criticism and want a practical framework for overcoming porn addiction from the inside out, this episode will help you build a healthier identity while developing the skills that create lasting change. In This Episode: Why negative beliefs fuel porn addiction Separating your identity from your behaviors The connection between shame and pornography addiction How self-worth impacts porn addiction recovery Breaking the cycle of self-criticism Building healthier beliefs that support lasting recovery Why skills—not identity—determine your current results Creating lasting freedom from porn Overcoming pornography addiction without living in shame A healthier approach to quitting porn 

What does it mean to believe something—and can we genuinely believe while also experiencing doubt? In this episode of the Center for Hebraic Thought and the Biblical Mind Podcast, Mike Tolliver talks with philosopher Dr. Joshua Mugg about his book From Human Reasoning to Belief and his alternative to the influential “dual process” theory of human reasoning.Mugg explains why he rejects the idea that the mind is simply divided between fast, intuitive thinking and slow, rational thinking. Instead, he proposes that human reasoning operates across multiple dimensions, allowing us to adjust how we think, gather evidence, recruit other beliefs, and repeatedly reconsider our conclusions.The conversation then explores how this account of human cognition helps illuminate one of the Bible's most intriguing statements: “I believe; help my unbelief” in the Gospel of Mark. Mugg's theory of fragmented belief suggests that people can hold different beliefs within distinct cognitive contexts, helping explain how faith and doubt can coexist.Mike and Josh also discuss anxiety, emotion and reasoning, conspiracy theories, religious belief, deconstruction, Michael Polanyi, Esther Meek, the relationship between faith and certainty, and whether faith will remain in the eschaton. This wide-ranging conversation offers a fresh perspective on belief, doubt, faith, and what it means to know.Buy Dr. Mugg's book here: https://www.routledge.com/From-Human-Reasoning-to-Belief-An-Empirical-Account/Mugg/p/book/9781032736952Contact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

Send me a some feedback!Why do some people receive the same strategies, opportunities, and information but create completely different results? In this episode, Mike shares three foundational elements he has seen separate those who transform their lives from those who remain stuck.Those three elements are belief, clarity, and nervous system mastery. When you believe in yourself, get clear about what you truly want, and learn to move through the discomfort of unfamiliar circumstances, you become far more capable of creating and receiving the life you actually desire.Key Takeaways1. Belief Is the Starting PointSometimes you need someone else to believe in you until you develop enough evidence and experience to believe in yourself.2. Clarity Is PowerMost people know exactly what they don't want. Getting clear about what you do want gives your energy a direction and moves you from survival toward creation.3. Your Nervous System Prefers the FamiliarYour nervous system has one job: to keep you alive. It tries to accomplish that by keeping you in circumstances where it has already proven it can keep you alive.4. Growth Requires DiscomfortCreating something new requires moving beyond what currently feels familiar. That discomfort isn't necessarily a signal to stop—it can be a sign that you're encountering the current limits of your nervous system.5. Put All Three TogetherBelief opens you to possibility. Clarity gives you direction. Nervous system mastery helps you move through the resistance that appears as you create a new normal.Notable Quotes“You are way more powerful than you will ever, ever know, than you will ever realize, and you will ever feel. Just having somebody believe in me when I didn't believe in myself was like a launching pad for me.”“Everybody in life knows what they don't want, but very few know what they do. There is so much power in clarity. It gives clear direction for the energy in your life.”“There is a dream buried inside of you. But if you don't look for it and if you don't get clear about it, you'll wake up to just survive. And when you unlock that dream, you give yourself the ability to thrive.”“Your nervous system has one goal and one goal only, and that's to keep you alive. It tries to keep you alive by trying to keep you in familiar circumstances because it has proven effective in being able to keep you alive there.”“You can't have growth and comfort at the same time. Growth requires understanding the current limits of the nervous system and beginning to work through them. If you master your nervous system, then it'll stop mastering you.”Take the Next StepWhere are you struggling most?Believing in yourself? Getting clear about what you actually want?

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. (former medical school professor, epigenetics pioneer, and bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and Beyond Darwin) returns to explain why he believes humanity is living through an unprecedented evolutionary crisis, why today's global chaos may actually be the necessary breakdown before an extraordinary breakthrough—and asks the unsettling question: How far can humanity be pushed before it changes?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, we explore the revolutionary science of epigenetics, why your genes account for less than 1% of disease, how environmental signals control your biology, and why Dr. Lipton argues that you are far more powerful than your DNA. He explains how consciousness shapes epigenetics, why our subconscious programming determines so much of our lives, and reveals practical ways to rewrite that programming through self-hypnosis and other powerful techniques.Bruce also dives into the fascinating intersection of Quantum Physics and spirituality, discussing whether everything is truly energy, whether physical reality is ultimately an illusion, whether spirit can be understood through quantum science, why he believes we cannot truly die, why karma is a biological reality, how many souls exist in the universe, whether souls choose to come to Earth to learn, and even whether a soul can switch bodies during a lifetime.He shares his own recent health challenges and how he applied The Biology of Belief to his recovery, explains why ignoring your life's purpose can manifest as emotional and physical struggles, recounts his personal experience with psilocybin, and reveals what it feels like to meet your energetic match.Bruce also discusses why love is the highest creative force, how it allows us to create "Heaven on Earth," why we need physical bodies to fully experience love, why cooperation (not competition) is humanity's greatest evolutionary advantage, and why the belief that life is meant to be a struggle is one of our biggest collective illusions.We also explore why alternative healing methods remain largely absent from mainstream education, the urgent new professions Dr. Lipton believes society must create to help humanity sustain Earth's ecosystem, how we unconsciously download limiting beliefs from those around us, four practical ways to reprogram the subconscious and create coherence between mind and reality, and why a lack of knowledge ultimately becomes a lack of power.If you've ever wondered whether science and spirituality can finally meet, this conversation may completely change the way you see yourself, and reality itself!Dr. Bruce Lipton's latest book, Beyond Darwin: How Epigenetics, Quantum Science, and Cooperation Shape Humanity's Future: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Beyond-Darwin/Bruce-H-Lipton/9781637749364Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the Summer Leadership Reset on Partnering Leadership.We have more access to ideas than ever before.More books. More podcasts. More articles. More insights.The challenge isn't finding more information. It's spending enough time with the ideas that can change how we think, decide, and lead.I have seen this in my own life. The books and conversations that have influenced me most aren't the ones I rushed through and moved on from. They are the ones I returned to, wrestled with, and understood differently as my own experiences changed.After more than 450 Partnering Leadership conversations with CEOs, researchers, authors, and leadership thinkers, there are a few I continue coming back to because the ideas become more valuable the more we sit with them.Throughout July and August, I'll be sharing 10 of those conversations.They explore some of the questions I see leaders wrestling with most: adapting to change, building trust, making better decisions, rethinking work, using AI wisely, and creating organizations ready for what comes next.Whether you are listening for the first time or revisiting these conversations, I hope they help you find an insight you can apply and a question worth thinking about long after the episode ends.—MahanConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

If you're a coach, here's something that might sting a little: teaching great content isn't what gets people to buy from you. I know — you've heard the opposite your whole career. And look, you can be an incredible teacher, people can love every minute of your content, and still not buy. Because content doesn't sell. Belief does. Today I'm going to show you the difference — and why missing it is quietly costing you sales.

Nir Eyal is a bestselling author, behavioral science expert, and keynote speaker who helps individuals and organizations understand how psychology and technology shape human behavior. He is the author of the bestselling books Hooked, Indistractable, and Beyond Belief, which have sold over one million copies, been translated into over 30 languages, and earned recognition from The New York Times, Amazon, Audible, and The Globe and Mail. A former Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer, Nir has worked with organizations, including JPMorgan Chase and the US Air Force and invested in companies including Canva and Kahoot. He helps people build better habits, improve focus, and reach their full potential. In this episode… Why do some people turn knowledge into lasting change while others remain stuck in the same patterns? We have access to more books, podcasts, and expert advice than ever before, yet lasting transformation often feels out of reach. If information isn't the problem, what is the missing piece that drives real change? Nir Eyal, bestselling author and behavioral science expert, says lasting change begins by examining the beliefs behind our actions. He explains that sustained motivation depends not only on knowing what to do and understanding the benefits, but also on having beliefs that support persistence. Rather than treating beliefs as fixed truths, Nir encourages viewing them as tools that can be tested and reshaped. He illustrates this through examples ranging from Serena Williams' coach using "belief hacking" to build confidence to Amazon's "Day One" philosophy of continual innovation. He also shares practical methods, including inquiry-based stress reduction, to help people challenge limiting beliefs, improve relationships, and unlock greater personal and professional potential. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Nir Eyal to discuss how beliefs shape performance, leadership, and personal growth. They explore why persistence matters more than talent, how leaders cultivate empowering beliefs, and practical ways to reframe limiting mindsets. Nir also shares why questioning common psychological assumptions can lead to better decisions and lasting change.

In this solo episode, I explore something I see again and again on the fertility path. The moment a label gets attached to your body, something shifts. A word from a doctor, a number on a lab report, a diagnosis. Suddenly you are not just living in your body, you are living inside the story you were handed about it. We look at two powerful words. Placebo, where belief in a treatment creates real, measurable improvement, and its lesser known shadow, nocebo, where a negative expectation produces real, measurable harm. Drawing on a body of research, including a large meta-analysis of more than eight thousand people and the well-known work on how labeling shapes outcomes, I unpack how the words we hear, and the words we tell ourselves, land in the body in ways we can measure. Then I bring this home to fertility. The labels so many women carry, from diminished ovarian reserve to advanced maternal age to hostile uterus, carry a second emotional and physiological payload that almost no one warns you about. I share the Chinese medicine view of the Bao Mai, the channel connecting the heart to the uterus, and how what lands in the heart reaches the womb. This is the same truth that modern nocebo research is only now naming. This is not about positive thinking on command, and it is never about blame. It is about gently taking back authorship of the story your body lives inside. I close with grounded ways to separate the data from the story, soften the language you carry, and protect your inner environment in this tender season. Key Takeaways: The placebo effect is well known, but its shadow, the nocebo effect, is just as real. A negative expectation alone can produce genuine physical symptoms, not imagined ones. A 2023 meta-analysis of 130 studies and more than 8,000 people found a reliable, medium sized nocebo effect across many health outcomes. The expectation of harm was enough to create the experience of harm. Labels carry power. Research shows that simply being told a medication was a cheaper generic, with nothing else changed, led more people to report side effects and feel it worked less well. The body responds to the label, not only the substance. Belief can heal as well as harm. In the Crum and Langer hotel maids study, women who were simply told their daily work counted as exercise showed real drops in weight, blood pressure, and body fat, with no change in behavior. On the fertility path, clinical labels carry a hidden emotional and physiological payload. The reproductive system is highly sensitive to the nervous system, and a frightening label can quietly feed a fear and stress loop. Chinese medicine has described this for thousands of years through the Bao Mai, the heart to uterus channel. When the heart is calm, the message reaches the womb. When the heart is in distress, the womb feels it. What lands in the heart reaches the body. This is never about blame or forcing positivity. It is about reclaiming authorship. Separate the data from the story, question the language you have absorbed, protect your inner environment, and cultivate genuine calm.

Http://tappingqanda.com/support Subscribe in: Apple Podcast | iPhone | Spotify | Pandora | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio  | YouTube Limiting beliefs are one of the most common obstacles I hear about from people in the tapping community, and they are also one of the things tapping is best equipped to address. In nearly two decades of working with clients and students, tapping for limiting beliefs has become one of my favorite applications of EFT, because the results are direct, fast, and felt immediately in daily life. TL;DR / Key Takeaways A limiting belief is a subconscious affirmation about how the world works that exists to keep you safe, not to hold you back. It only becomes a problem when it is disproportionate to actual risk or based on inaccurate information. Intellectual understanding alone cannot clear a limiting belief. Transformation requires working at the subconscious level, which is exactly where EFT tapping operates through a process called memory reconsolidation. The five-step tapping process for limiting beliefs takes under three minutes and can be used immediately on any belief that is getting in your way. Fighting or dismissing a limiting belief makes it dig in harder. The key is to first acknowledge the belief's protective intention, then show it how it is working against you. Replacing a limiting belief requires a statement the subconscious can actually accept. Overclaiming ("everything will be perfect") creates resistance. A grounded permission statement creates movement. Why Limiting Beliefs Are So Hard to Shake Limiting beliefs are hard to shake because they are not flaws in your thinking. They are features of your protective system doing exactly what they were designed to do. Your subconscious mind holds on to these beliefs precisely because it believes they are keeping you safe. Think about it this way: I do not jump into the tiger cage at the zoo. That is a limiting belief. But I do not experience it as one because it is proportionate to real danger. The limiting beliefs that cause us problems work the same way on the inside. They generate resistance to protect us from what they perceive as threat, whether that threat is rejection, failure, judgment, or loss. This is why willpower and positive thinking rarely work on their own. If you try to override a protective belief by force, the subconscious mind digs its heels in. The resistance is not an enemy. It is a misguided guardian. What Is a Limiting Belief, Really? A limiting belief is a subconscious affirmation about how the world works that is either inaccurate, disproportionate, or based on outdated information. It exists to create protective resistance, not to punish you. This definition matters because it completely changes how you approach the work. Most people treat their limiting beliefs as character defects or signs that something is fundamentally broken in them. But a limiting belief is just a story your subconscious mind wrote, probably a long time ago, with the information it had available at the time. The story made sense once. It just has not been updated. Key insight: "Limiting beliefs are always going to get the best of us. They keep us safe. What we're really frustrated by is the fact that the limiting belief has gotten in the way of us doing the thing we want because it's not doing it in a way that's proportionate or that is well informed." Every limiting belief you carry is trying to protect you from something. The question is never whether the protection is well-intentioned. It always is. The question is whether it is accurate and proportionate to the actual situation in front of you right now. Why Tapping for Limiting Beliefs Works When Willpower Doesn't Tapping works on limiting beliefs because it targets the subconscious level where those beliefs actually live, through a neurological process called memory reconsolidation. Willpower operates at the conscious level and cannot reach them. Memory reconsolidation is the process by which stored memories and the emotional responses attached to them are retrieved, modified, and re-saved. When you tap while focusing on a limiting belief, you are not just thinking differently about a problem. You are creating the conditions for the subconscious story to be rewritten and stored again in a new form. This is what makes tapping categorically different from affirmations, journaling, or talk therapy alone, all of which are enormously valuable but operate primarily at the conscious level. Key insight: "It is not enough to simply intellectually understand that the limiting belief you are carrying is not true. If all it required for you to transform a limiting belief was to know that it was not true, then the only thing we would need for healing and transformation are bumper stickers and posters of kitty cats hanging in there." This is why knowing better is not enough. You can know, with full certainty, that your fear of rejection is irrational, and still feel the brakes go on every time you try to put yourself out there. Tapping is one of the few tools that reaches both the conscious and subconscious levels simultaneously. If you want to understand more about why the subconscious mind resists change even when you consciously want it, this episode on the subconscious tug of war goes deep on that dynamic. The 5-Step Tapping Process for Limiting Beliefs The five-step tapping process for limiting beliefs takes under three minutes and can be applied immediately to any belief that is currently getting in your way. You do not need to have all the steps memorized. A reasonable guess at each one is enough to get results. To illustrate each step, I will use a concrete example: the belief that says "I can't ask this person to partner with me because they're going to reject me and I'll feel foolish." Step 1: Wordless Tapping Start with one full minute of tapping with no words at all. Move from point to point at your own pace, taking a deep breath as you begin. If you do not want to set a timer, three or four rounds of six to seven taps per point will cover it. Wordless tapping does two things: it settles your nervous system and brings you into your body before you begin the heavier cognitive work. Starting a limiting belief session already activated makes every subsequent step harder. This first step is short, but skipping it costs you. For a deeper look at how content-free tapping works and when to use it, see this episode on eight ways to use content-free tapping. Step 2: Name the Belief and Its Impact Tap through the points while saying out loud what the belief is and what it is causing you to do (or not do). Something like: "I recognize that I am carrying this belief, and the belief is [your belief here], and this limiting belief is preventing me from taking action, making me hesitant, and stopping me from doing what I want." Naming the belief out loud does something important: it moves it from a vague background feeling into a specific, examinable object. You cannot address what you cannot clearly see. Step 3: Honor the Belief's Protective Intent Still tapping, shift to acknowledging what the belief is trying to do for you: "I recognize that this limiting belief exists because it is simply trying to keep me safe. It does not want me to rush in, be judged, be rejected, or do something foolish. And I appreciate the fact that it is holding me back in an effort to keep me safe." This step is not about agreeing that the belief is correct. It is about getting your subconscious mind on board with the process. Key insight: "It's kind of like a handshake with the subconscious mind saying we're on the same team. If I say, subconscious mind, you're wrong, it's going to dig its heels in." Skipping this step is one of the most common reasons tapping on limiting beliefs stalls. The subconscious mind will not release a belief it thinks you are attacking. This episode on turning intellectual pushback into tapping progress explores this pattern in more detail. Step 4: Show the Belief How It's Backfiring Now, still tapping, let the belief know that its protective strategy is producing the opposite of what it intends: "Even though you are trying to keep me safe, you are actually doing the exact opposite. You are making the world more dangerous because you are preventing me from doing the things that will help me grow, evolve, and move forward." This step works because it speaks the subconscious mind's language. You are not telling it it is wrong. You are showing it that its own goal, your safety and wellbeing, is better served by loosening its grip. Step 5: Replace It with a Credible Truth Finally, tap while offering a realistic replacement: "I appreciate the fact that it is possible for me, in thoughtful and deliberate ways, to move forward safely. This does not mean I am going to be thoughtless or reckless. I am engaging with this in thoughtful and deliberate ways, and I give myself permission to trust that I can move forward safely." Notice what this step does not say. It does not say "everything will work out perfectly" or "there is nothing to worry about." Those statements are not believable to the subconscious mind, and an unbelievable affirmation creates resistance rather than releasing it. The goal is a truth the subconscious can accept, a permission statement that says: I can move, and moving does not mean abandoning care. Why You Can't Just Think Your Way Out of a Limiting Belief Thinking alone cannot clear a limiting belief because the belief does not live in your thinking mind. It lives in the subconscious, and the subconscious does not respond to logic. Reading the right book, understanding why a belief is irrational, or receiving encouragement can all be genuinely useful. But none of them reach the level where the belief is actually stored. They inform the conscious mind without rewriting the subconscious story. Tapping works at both levels simultaneously. You hold the belief in conscious focus while the physical act of tapping sends a calming signal to the amygdala, the brain's threat-detection center. That combination allows the memory to be accessed, modified, and re-stored. The belief does not just get quieter. It gets rewritten. If intellectual understanding has been your primary tool and you keep hitting the same walls, this episode on why you resist taking healthy action is a useful companion read. How to Use This Process for Any Limiting Belief Tapping for limiting beliefs is effective on any belief that is disproportionate to actual risk or based on outdated information. The example used throughout this post was the fear of rejection in a partnership conversation, but the same five steps apply to beliefs about money, visibility, worthiness, health, creative work, or any other domain where you feel stuck. Key insight: "The only way I can create a life that I love is if I actually take action. Nothing happens until we move. Limiting beliefs prevent us from taking action and moving. Therefore, when a limiting belief is disproportionate or misinformed, it prevents us from creating the life that is meant for us." You do not need to have the belief perfectly identified before you start. Begin with what you know. If you feel the resistance but cannot fully name what is driving it, start with wordless tapping and let the clarity come as you move through the steps. If you want to track your tapping practice and build consistency with this kind of work, Tapping Tracker is a simple tool designed to help you do exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions What is a limiting belief in EFT tapping? In EFT, a limiting belief is a subconscious story about how the world works that creates resistance to action. It is not a character flaw. It is a protective mechanism that becomes problematic when it is disproportionate to actual risk or based on outdated information. Tapping works on limiting beliefs by accessing the subconscious level where they are stored. Can tapping really clear a limiting belief in a few minutes? Yes, particularly for beliefs that are clearly defined and moderately activated. The five-step process described here takes under three minutes and is designed to produce immediate relief from the resistance the belief generates. Deeper or more complex beliefs, especially those rooted in significant past experiences, may benefit from multiple sessions or work with a practitioner. Why do limiting beliefs come back after tapping? A limiting belief can resurface if it has multiple layers, if the root experience has not been fully addressed, or if the replacement truth offered in step five was not fully believable to the subconscious mind. When a belief returns, that is useful information. It points to a deeper layer or a related belief that is also worth tapping on. What is memory reconsolidation and how does it relate to tapping? Memory reconsolidation is the neurological process by which stored memories are retrieved, modified, and re-saved with new emotional content. EFT tapping leverages this process by pairing focused attention on a belief with the calming input of tapping on acupressure points, creating conditions for the subconscious story to be rewritten rather than suppressed. Do I have to know exactly what my limiting belief is before I start tapping? No. You can begin with wordless tapping and a general sense of where the resistance is. Clarity often emerges during the tapping process itself, particularly after step one settles the nervous system. Start with what you know, even if it is just "I feel stuck about this." How is tapping for limiting beliefs different from affirmations? Affirmations work at the conscious level and are most effective after a limiting belief has already been cleared or softened. Tapping works at the subconscious level, where the belief is actually stored, through the physical act of stimulating acupressure points while holding the belief in focus. Used together, after tapping clears the resistance, affirmations can reinforce the new story. This episode on tapping and affirmations explains how to sequence them effectively. What is the fear of rejection example in this episode about? The fear of rejection example illustrates a belief that says "If I ask this person to partner with me, they will reject me and I will feel foolish." Gene uses this example to walk through each of the five tapping steps in real time, demonstrating how the process addresses both the specific fear and the underlying protective mechanism driving it. For a deeper dive into tapping for rejection specifically, see this post on breaking free from the fear of rejection.

We often think of ultrarunning as an individual pursuit, but Eric Strand's Western States story proves that the strongest performances are rarely solo efforts. After cracking a rib, falling multiple times, and watching his sub-30-hour goal slip away, Eric reached mile 78 convinced he wouldn't make it. His pacers refused to believe that story, helping him stop negotiating with himself, stay focused on the mile he was in, and keep moving forward one step at a time. Along the way, the conversation explores what separates a great pacer from an average one, how trust and preparation begin long before race day, and why different moments require different kinds of encouragement. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the greatest gift another runner can give you is believing in you until you're able to believe in yourself again.

Read OnlineA Promise and Sign of Hope“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.” Luke 1:46–49Today we celebrate one of the great solemnities on the Church's liturgical calendar: the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Belief in her bodily assumption first took root in the early Church among those who witnessed this glorious event. Though we do not have written firsthand accounts of the Assumption, a variety of traditions have stood the test of time.According to a tradition handed down by Saint John Damascene in the fifth century, all of the Apostles except Thomas were miraculously gathered in Jerusalem at the time of Mary's Dormition, or falling asleep. After reverently placing her body in a tomb near the Garden of Gethsemane, they later opened it at Thomas's request, who had arrived late and wished to venerate her body. To their astonishment, the tomb was empty. This led the Apostles to conclude, through divine revelation, that the Blessed Virgin had been assumed body and soul into Heaven. That empty tomb is still honored today in the cave near Gethsemane and remains a popular place of pilgrimage.This early tradition laid the foundation for the Church's growing conviction through the centuries that Mary's Assumption was not merely a pious belief but a divinely revealed truth. In 1950, this truth was solemnly defined as dogma by Pope Pius XII in Munificentissimus Deus.Why was the Blessed Virgin Mary taken body and soul into Heaven at the completion of her earthly life? Because, by a singular grace, when she was conceived in the womb of her mother—traditionally known as Saint Anne—her conception was the Immaculate Conception. That is, she was conceived without the stain of Original Sin. This grace, called a prevenient or preceding grace, was given to her through the foreseen merits of her Son's future death on the Cross. That grace transcended time and preserved her from sin in advance, making her Son also her Savior, as she proclaimed in the Magnificat: “My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”Though the Blessed Virgin Mary was not saved by her own merit, having been given the fullness of grace at the moment of her Immaculate Conception, she perfectly cooperated with that grace throughout her life. She remained free not only from Original Sin but also from all personal sin. Since “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), and since the Blessed Mother was entirely without sin, her body and soul were never separated in death, which leads to bodily corruption. Instead, having completed the course of her earthly life, the Blessed Virgin Mary “was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory” (Munificentissimus Deus, 44).Why is this important for us today? Because the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is not only a singular privilege granted to her, it is also a sign of hope and a promise of what awaits all who remain faithful to Christ. Mary is the first and greatest disciple; where she has gone, we hope to follow. Her bodily glorification reveals that our salvation is more than spiritual, it also includes the redemption of the body. In a world wounded by sin, suffering, and death, the Assumption shines as a beacon of the final victory of grace. It reminds us that Heaven is our true home, that holiness is possible, and that those who entrust themselves to God alongside our Blessed Mother will share in Christ's Resurrection. As our loving Mother, now enthroned in glory, Mary intercedes for us and draws us ever closer to her Son, encouraging us to live each day with faith, purity, and joyful hope.Reflect today on the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a sign of hope and a promise of what is to come for you and your loved ones. Though we will die and our bodies will be laid to rest, one day our bodies and souls will rise and share in the resurrected glory of Jesus and Mary. This will be our eternity. Turn your eyes to that day, profess your faith in it, rejoice in God your Savior, and proclaim His greatness alongside His most glorious Mother.Most glorious Mother of God, you were singularly privileged to be preserved from the stain of Original Sin at your Immaculate Conception, and you fully cooperated with the fullness of grace throughout your earthly life, thereby meriting the gift of your bodily Assumption when your time on earth was completed. Pray for me, that I may be filled with hope and persevere in grace, so that I, too, may one day share in the glory of the Resurrection.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Owen Fitzpatrick, a psychologist, speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda: Leading Hearts and Minds through Turbulent Times. Owen has spent close to 30 years studying how beliefs form and change, interviewing people everywhere from North Korea to Rwanda to Afghanistan. His thesis is unsettling: our brains do not simply take in facts and reach objective conclusions. They build a story we then experience as reality. Owen and Andy work through what that means on real projects. You'll hear how a warning from a colleague can quietly harden into a conviction about a teammate, and how Bayesian reasoning gives you a way out. You'll learn Owen's five types of truth, how to tell courageous conviction from dangerous denial, and what leaders can actually make stable when they cannot promise a stable outcome. Owen also explains why pushing harder for buy-in is often the very reason people resist, and how an antifragile identity helps teams face uncertainty like AI without denial or panic. If you're looking for a fresh way to think about belief, influence, and leading through turbulent times, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "We all live in that world where we think we're the one person that isn't the victim of propaganda, and my point or my thesis is we're all victims of our own inner propaganda." "We're not necessarily just convinced by others. We convince ourselves." "Because I think when we say, 'I'm no good at something,' we lock ourselves into it." "Well, if you're not great at communicating with people, get great." "Most of the time our beliefs just create a sort of a reality for us, and that reality can help us or harm us." "So our brains are prediction machines." "Whenever we talk about belief, believing in your ability to succeed in the future is critical if you want to succeed in the future, but that doesn't mean you deny the present." "It, it's not that we think negatively, it's we believe negatively, and we see the world through those lenses." "So I think we want to be able to challenge our beliefs and build a bit more and get more comfortable with uncertainty away from the table, but when we're at the table with our team, that's when we bring the certainty." "We like the idea that we are making this decision of our own free will." "And when you look at what a belief is, a belief is an idea we feel certain about, and that word feel is the most important word of that sentence." "It's okay to believe less in certain things. It's okay to believe more in certain things. It's okay to believe better."

Every entrepreneurial journey begins with a deficit.Not simply a lack of money, but a gap between today's reality and tomorrow's possibility.In this continuation of The Liar Lid Journey series, Jay Doran explores how deficit becomes the birthplace of entrepreneurship. He argues that before there is proof, there must be belief. Before there is momentum, there is pressure. And before an organization can inspire others, the entrepreneur must first convince themselves to move toward a future no one else can yet see. Jay introduces a framework that traces the invisible progression from deficit to pressure, pressure to belief, belief to behavior, and behavior to culture. Along the way, he examines why founders and employees naturally experience organizations differently, why entrepreneurs develop a unique psychological relationship with uncertainty, and how that mindset ultimately shapes the culture everyone else experiences. In this episode, you'll discover:Why every entrepreneur begins with a deficit before they experience successHow pressure creates belief long before proof existsThe hidden psychological cost of assuming responsibility for an uncertain futureWhy founders and employees naturally approach risk from different perspectivesHow entrepreneurial behavior becomes the blueprint for organizational cultureThe connection between belief, identity, and leadershipWhy entrepreneurs often sacrifice freedom in pursuit of becoming freeHow the "Liar Lid" protects vision while simultaneously creating its greatest limitationsWhy understanding the Founder-to-CEO journey is essential for scaling an organizationThroughout the episode, Jay expands on the idea that entrepreneurship is far more than building a business. It is the continual transformation of the individual who carries the vision. Every decision, every sacrifice, and every moment of uncertainty reshapes the entrepreneur, whose behaviors inevitably become the culture that others adopt. This conversation is a reminder that organizations don't begin with systems.They begin with someone willing to believe before there is evidence.Because deficit creates pressure.Pressure creates belief.Belief shapes behavior.And behavior is what ultimately becomes culture.

This year, the topic is ultra-processed foods and how they affect our health.  First, Kevin Hall, Ph.D., former senior investigator at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) , discusses his groundbreaking, tightly controlled metabolic ward trials and mathematical models tracking how human bodies respond to ultra-processed foods. Then, Fang Fang Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., cancer epidemiologist and chair of the Division of Nutrition Epidemiology and Data Science at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, discusses her population‑based research on how ultra-processed foods influence cancer prevention, cancer survivorship and long‑term health outcomes. Then, David Kessler, MD, former FDA Commissioner, breaks down a citizen petition he filed with the Food and Drug Administration last summer which would, among other things, declare that some of the core ingredients in ultra-processed foods were no longer “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” -- a classification  that means ingredients are exempt from strict premarket approval process. Plus, Ilan Stavans, publisher of Restless Books, professor of humanities and Latin American and Latino culture at Amherst College and the author of A Nation Wrestles with God: American Prophets, Philosophers, and Firebrands (Restless Books, 2026), talks about the broad spectrum of American religious thought, from Cotton Mather to Lana Del Rey.   These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: What Are Ultra-Processed Foods and What Are They Doing to Us?
