In this raw and revelatory episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik is joined by Bianca Thomas—licensed mental health counselor, co-founder of Evolve Ventures, and a leading voice in trauma recovery and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Bianca unpacks the silent epidemic of "performative confidence" and walks us through how trauma shapes beliefs like “I'm not good enough.” She shares how CBT can help untangle those deep-rooted narratives and provides actionable tools for self-awareness, emotional safety, and self-empowerment. This is a must-listen if you've ever struggled with self-doubt, perfectionism, or silently questioned your worth.   About the Guest:Bianca Thomas, LMHC is the co-founder of Evolve Ventures and the Director of Therapy for Evolve Venture Technologies. With deep expertise in CBT and trauma-informed care, she has helped hundreds of clients and thousands of listeners dismantle limiting beliefs and step into real, grounded confidence. Her podcast, Evolve Ventures, is a hub for healing, emotional intelligence, and growth-centered conversations.   Key Takeaways: Many high-functioning people silently battle the belief, “I'm not good enough.” Confidence isn't performance—it's embodiment, cultivated through daily inner work. CBT isn't about “thinking positive” but reframing core beliefs rooted in trauma. Exposure therapy and intentional reflection are key tools in healing. Healing is not about fixing yourself but finding yourself—with compassion.   Connect with Bianca Thomas:Website: www.evolveventurestech.comInstagram: @evolvewithbiancaFacebook, TikTok, and more via her site and social links   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
