This episode explores how the labels others give us — and the ones we accept — can become self-imposed limits, shaping our choices and performance. Using examples from history and personal experience, the host explains the psychology behind self-fulfilling prophecies and how positive or negative labels can box us in.
The episode closes with a practical three-step approach to change: identify the label, challenge its truth, and rename yourself with empowering language, plus a call to take action and rewrite your story toward purpose and growth.
