The Voice In Your Head Is Lying To You

from Let's Get Real - A Talk Show for Guys · host Michael Sharkey

Most men walk around believing a version of themselves that isn’t even real—and it’s usually way more negative than the truth. In this episode of Let’s Get Real, Shark and Spanish react to a powerful call from a listener and unpack what it feels like to be seen differently by others after doing real inner work. They talk about identity shifts, learning to accept positive feedback, and why the voice in your head isn’t always telling you the truth. From recording affirmations from others to reframing negative thoughts, this conversation is about recognizing your growth, letting go of old patterns, and finally seeing yourself the way others already do.🎯 Key Takeaways The way you see yourself is often distorted by old beliefs  Growth can be hard to recognize from the inside  Positive feedback from others can reveal your real progress  That negative inner voice isn’t truth—it’s conditioning  You can learn to observe your thoughts instead of believing them  Identity shifts happen slowly, then all at once  Reminding yourself of who you are (through others) is powerful ⏱️ Timestamps (auto-generated)00:00 – Talking about feelings on the radio (and why it matters) 01:00 – Caller gives unexpected, powerful feedback 02:00 – What it takes to become “grounded” 03:00 – The compliment that hits differently 04:00 – Seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes 05:00 – Group exercise: hearing how others see you 06:30 – Why it’s hard to receive positive feedback 08:00 – Using recorded affirmations to reset your mindset 09:00 – The gap between who you are vs. who you think you are 10:00 – The voice in your head isn’t truth 11:00 – Letting go of negative thoughts 12:00 – Reframing your inner dialogue#MensMentalHealth #SelfAwareness #InnerWork #Confidence #MindsetShift #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalIntelligence #MensWork #Authenticity #SelfTalk #HealingForMen #GrowthJourney #ModernMan #RealTalkForMen #MentalHealthAwareness #LetsGetReal #MensPodcast #SelfImprovement #PositiveMindset #BreakTheCycle #IdentityShift #InnerVoice #SelfReflection #LevelUp #BeYourself"Let's Get Real" is a weekly, interactive live talk show for guys on 102.5 FM in Tampa Bay.
