Ep 186: Which Beliefs are Stopping You?

from Your Favorite You · host Melissa Parsons

How many of you are holding back your brilliance because of one thought your brain offers—usually in a moment of fear—that you accept as fact without ever questioning it?Today, I’m sharing a personal story about something that pushed me right up against that kind of thinking. I was selected to speak at TEDx UTD, and I was thrilled—until I realized what no one had fully emphasized: there are no teleprompters. No notes. Just you, a stage, and a fully memorized talk.My brain immediately offered the thought, you can’t do this. And for a moment, I almost believed it. But here’s the thing: belief may not do the work, but it allows the work to begin. I had to be willing to consider the possibility before I could take a step toward making it happen. This episode is an invitation to look at what beliefs may be holding you back and not let them stop you from finding out what you’re actually capable of.Click HERE to read the full show notes.
