What if the biggest thing holding you back… was living inside your own head?

In this powerful episode, Michael Dawson dives into the highest level on the pyramid of change:

Identity & Beliefs

Where lasting transformation truly begins. Through the lens of a Big Issue seller, a forgotten psychology experiment, and a poem about a lying robot in your mind, Michael explores the hidden voice that shapes your choices, moods, and beliefs every single day.

You’ll learn:

  • Why someone with elite skills might still struggle to succeed (and how you might be doing the same)

  • How to spot and silence the five biggest lies your mind tells you daily

  • The truth behind priming, hedonic adaptation, and confirmation bias, and how to beat them

  • A powerful rewrite of your internal story using “ME-NA” - your mental DNA

  • A poem to remind you that you are in charge - not your inner robot

Whether your quiz pointed to identity as the source of your weight struggle, or you’re just tired of feeling hijacked by your own mind, this episode gives you the tools to take back control for good.

Subscribe now, and start rewiring your mental DNA, one truth at a time.
