🎙️ S2 Episode 6: The Longest Unlearn

Some beliefs don’t just sit in your head, they invoice you every day. We’re talking about the “truths” we inherited from family, school, workplaces, and culture, then carried for years without checking the evidence. The big one? That low, sticky story of “I’m not good enough”, how it shows up as rejecting compliments, feeling like the odd one out, and slipping into self-criticism when we’re overtired or burnt out.We zoom out into money mindset and business growth, because scarcity thinking doesn’t stop at your bank balance, it shapes what you think you’re allowed to earn. We dig into classic money myths, the guilt around freedom when you’re self-employed, and the employee mindset that keeps entrepreneurs stuck in timekeeping shame, admin avoidance, and undercharging. We also talk about status symbols and visibility, including how looking “too successful” can trigger judgement, and why chasing the optics can quietly wreck cashflow.Then we get honest about bias and belonging: accents, class stories, inverted snobbery, and the way exposure to new rooms can force real unlearning. We unpack the fear around VAT registration in the UK, why “earning more will kill your business” is a myth, and what actually matters: systems, preparation, and not treating the extra 20% as yours. We finish with a line we want you to steal: you don’t have to keep lying in the bed you made. If it no longer serves you, burn it and build something better. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave us a review. Which belief are you ready to unlearn next?Something you’d love us to know?
