The Trance That Runs Your Life And How To Snap Out Of It

Bryce explores the idea that most people are living inside a psychological trance — a set of beliefs and stories about their life they’ve stopped questioning. He explains how routines, identity, and perception quietly become automated, creating familiarity even when life no longer works. He introduces a powerful reframe: stop moralizing your experience and start asking a simpler question — does this work for me? From spirituality to identity to personal growth, he shows how ending the trance allows new choices, new identity, and new results to emerge. Transformation isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about consciously choosing a new operating system that actually supports who you’re becoming.Listen in!Takeaways:A trance is a belief system you stopped questioningNormal can be the most dangerous stateFamiliarity is not the same as alignmentMoralizing experience freezes change“Does this work for me?” bypasses shameIdentity governs values, beliefs, and behaviorYou cannot outwork your identityAwareness is not the same as integrationTranscendence is the ending of a tranceSimple does not mean easyDiscomfort can signal misalignmentYou are the author of your operating systemEnvironment doesn’t override identityHigh performers over-intellectualize changeReal shifts come from identity, not tacticsYou can consciously choose a new tranceGrowth requires honest self-questioningThanks for listening to this episode of The LAB Podcast!Your story is waiting to be told, and we're here to help you tell it better.If you’d like to join The Lab, our weekly group coaching experience please visit BrycePrescott.com/thelabgroup and follow the prompts.
