from Dare to Begin with Leslie Begin · host Leslie Begin

After hearing "wow you have your hands full" approximately one thousand nine hundred and fifty six times walking into the grocery store with my six daughters... I started to believe it.That is how lies work. They do not start as lies. They start as a passing comment, a hard moment, a number on a scale, a voice from the past. And the longer you hear them the more they feel like facts.In this episode I share the three stages that take a small painful thought and turn it into a prison - what Dr. Henry Cloud calls the death spiral of a leader. Personal. Pervasive. Permanent. And I walk you through exactly how the lies I believed about my body, my self control, and my capacity became the most compelling truths in my life... until I learned to replace them.I have no self control around food. I will never be able to lose this weight. I am too much and it will always be too much.Those were my lies. And I want to help you name yours today.
