Shifting perspective in order to remove limiting beliefs

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t the obstacle — but the story you’re telling about it?In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, I’m joined by Risa August — award-winning author, speaker, Gestalt practitioner, and patient advocate — to talk about how a single perspective shift can crack open the tightest limiting beliefs.After being diagnosed with a tumor at the base of her brain and facing a destructive disease, Risa hit a moment that changed everything: instead of focusing on what she couldn’t do, she asked a different question — “What can I do?” That one reframe became the doorway back to her life, her work, and her purpose.We talk about:Why “I can’t” is often a habit, not a factHow Gestalt work helps you uncover patterns keeping you trappedThe difference between common vs. normal sufferingWhat it looks like to let go of old identity (even the “strong one”)Why giving yourself an “out” can actually help you move forwardHow to use tiny steps to rebuild confidence when everything feels heavyIf you’ve been carrying a “should,” living under self-imposed rules, or feeling boxed in by your own expectations — this one will feel like air.Follow Risa’s work and learn more: RisaAugust.comBook: The Road Unpaved: Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike (Amazon + local bookstores)For more wellness tips and exclusive content, join my newsletter!
