The Lies We Believe About Ourselves (That Shape Our Entire Life)

Explore more at https://www.generationswoven.comSome of the most powerful lies we carry were never spoken out loud. They came from a single moment, a look, a cultural blueprint handed down without question, and somewhere along the way we signed an agreement with them. In this episode, three generations of women sit down to name the lies they believed about themselves, trace them back to their roots, and talk honestly about what it looks like to stop living inside a story that was never really true. From a discovery made under hypnosis about a father's first words at birth, to the "white picket fence" blueprint so many women were handed, to the quiet limiting beliefs we pile on ourselves without anyone saying a word, this is a raw and redemptive conversation about rewriting your narrative.Download The Lies We Believe Reflection Guide here: https://generationswoven.com/resources/ols/products/the-lies-we-believe-reflection-guideWHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEThe moment Judy discovered through hypnosis that her father's first words at her birth were "Is it a boy?" and how that planted a seed that shaped years of her lifeHow beliefs are formed not just from what people say, but from what we interpret and silently agree toThe generational "white picket fence" blueprint and what happens when life looks nothing like that pictureWhy knowing your identity makes outside comparison lose its powerThe difference between a lie someone handed you and one you quietly handed yourselfHow different families process feelings and why that shapes the beliefs we carry in silencePractical reflection questions to help you identify, question, and release the beliefs that are no longer serving youMOST POWERFUL MOMENTJudy shares that during a hypnosis session with a pastoral counselor, she was brought back to the moment of her own birth. Her father's first words were "Is it a boy?" She called her mother afterward to confirm it, and her mother said yes. Judy reflected that this single moment, one she couldn't even consciously remember, became a seed she carried for years. It shaped how she saw herself, what she believed about her worth, and even contributed to her struggle with bulimia. The power of this story is not just in the pain of it, but in how gently and honestly she names it, releases it, and says: God doesn't make mistakes.ABOUT GENERATIONS WOVENGenerations Woven is a podcast where three generations of women share honest conversations about relationships, healing, faith, identity, and personal growth.Each episode explores real life experiences and the wisdom that comes from walking through life together.Discover more episodes at https://www.generationswoven.comLEGAL DISCLAIMERGenerations Woven shares personal stories, encouragement, and honest conversations.
