#254 | Do Your Actions Speak Louder Than Words?

Send us Fan MailHave you ever been haunted by the ghost of your expectations, whispering tales of what you could have been? In this episode, we talk about the familiar yet challenging experiences of cognitive dissonance — the psychological discomfort one feels when one's actions don't align with one's values or aspirations. We discuss the identity crisis that arises when there's a disparity between self-perception and actions, discussing the destructive nature of shame and the cycle of setting and failing to meet unrealistic goals. We also talk about the difficulties of living up to self-imposed standards and our societal roles. Whether it's being the perfect family member or excelling in one's career, the struggle to fulfill these roles consistently is a common theme.Here’s the list of episodes related to today’s discussion, and we highly recommend listening to them as well:#198 | Whose Life Are You Living? - https://apple.co/446naJ8 _______________Connect with Emilia, Bianca & the EVOLVE VENTURES Community:Website: www.evolveventurestech.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/evolveventures/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/EvolveVenturesTech  (Public Page)Evolve Ventures Society (Private Facebook Group) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/457130589193794 Emilia’s IG - https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithemilia/  Emilia’s TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithemilia Bianca’s IG - https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithbianca/  Bianca’s Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithbianca?_t=8gq3wqu4fAx&_r=1   Connect with Emilia & Bianca from Evolve Ventures for FREE: https://bit.ly/3THiEN4Show notes:(2:03) Wanting to be better(7:16) Losing trust in yourself(10:39) Here's what Matthew has to say about the Evolve Ventures community and how it has helped in his journey(11:28) Not trust your identity(14:08) Unrealistic expectations(16:27) Grow through it(23:14) Outro***Leave them a 5-star review if you felt their energy, became inspired, or felt as though value was added to your life in your EVOLUTION.(Stay tuned for this coming Monday's episode!)
