Ep. 57: The Habits Keeping You Small with Luke Mathers

from English Talk — Speaking up in English at work for introverts with Louise Jefferies · host Louise Jefferies

Why do we keep repeating behaviours that no longer serve us?In this episode, I’m joined by author and speaker Luke Mathers to explore the hidden habits, labels, and beliefs that quietly shape how we show up in life and at work.We talk about:why many habits are really forms of self-protectionhow labels like “introvert” or “anxious” can become limiting identitiesthe difference between confidence and arrogancewhy curiosity is one of the most powerful tools for growthhow assumptions and miscommunication create stress in workplaces and relationshipsWe also explore the idea that even our strengths can become defence mechanisms, and how the behaviours that once kept us safe may now be keeping us stuck.This episode is thoughtful, honest, and full of moments that may make you question the stories you tell yourself about who you are.If you’ve ever thought:“That’s just how I am…”…this conversation is for you.
