The Mental Game: You Don’t Have to Believe Every Thought You Think

from Core with Shawna Beardsley | A Pilates Podcast · host Shawna Beardsley, NCPT

Your thoughts feel real—but that doesn’t mean they’re true. In this episode, I’m diving deeper into the mental patterns that shape how we show up—people-pleasing, overthinking, and the daily discipline of letting go. But we’re also going beyond just internal work. Because growth isn’t just about what’s happening in your head—it’s also about who you surround yourself with. I’ll share why I intentionally choose people who challenge me, why I refuse to have “yes people” in my life, and how honest, sometimes uncomfortable feedback has been one of the biggest drivers of my growth—in business, relationships, and within myself. If you want to evolve, you can’t stay comfortable. And that includes your environment.
