In this eye-opening episode of "Lives of Courage," host Jessica challenges the widely accepted mantra of "faking it until you make it" and reveals why this approach can be more harmful than helpful. Discover the pitfalls of unrealistic affirmations and how they can damage your self-esteem and motivation.
Instead, Jessica introduces the concept of laddering your thoughts—creating a series of small, believable steps that gradually shift your mindset. Learn practical, science-backed techniques to build genuine confidence and competence without falling into the trap of living a lie.
Hear a real-life success story from a client who effectively used laddering thoughts to achieve their goals, and understand how principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and neuroplasticity support this powerful approach.
Tune in to explore a more realistic and sustainable path to professional growth, and find out why incremental progress is the key to authentic success. Reject the lie of "faking it until you make it" and embrace the truth of gradual, authentic growth.
Join us for this controversial and transformative episode that will revolutionize your approach to self-improvement.
