Ep. 6 | The Truth About Limiting Beliefs: Why You Keep Holding Yourself Back

Welcome to The SHE-EO Podcast!

This is episode 1 of 5 from The Limiting Belief Series.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into something that might blow your mind: the beliefs holding you back aren’t even yours. 🤯

Your brain isn’t wired for success, it’s wired for survival.

And that means it’s holding onto old, outdated patterns from childhood, school, and past experiences that might be keeping you from the success you know you’re capable of.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:
✅ How limiting beliefs are formed (spoiler: most were planted in your subconscious before age 7!)

✅ The sneaky ways your brain clings to old patterns—even when they don’t serve you

✅ How childhood experiences shape your confidence and ability to take action

✅ A simple journaling exercise to uncover your biggest limiting beliefs

I also share:
✨ A personal story of how I unknowingly adopted a belief that I was “stupid” (and how it showed up in my business).
✨ Why your brain sees success, money, and visibility as “dangerous” (even though logically, you want them).
✨ The surprising connection between childhood rejection and procrastination in your business

🚀 Next episode teaser: We’ll be busting the biggest myth about success—why your brain is wired to believe success has to be hard and what to do instead. If you’ve been hustling like crazy with little to show for it, you won’t want to miss it.

I created a free Limiting Belief Workbook to help you identify and release the subconscious blocks keeping you stuck.

👉 Grab a journal and answer these questions:
1️⃣ What’s something I deeply want, but don’t believe is possible for me?
2️⃣ What’s something I’ve been avoiding because it feels scary?
3️⃣ If I could wake up tomorrow with a new belief, what would it be?
