In this episode of WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, continues her self-confidence series by diving into the power of belief. Inspired by Henry Ford’s iconic quote—"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."—this episode explores how our thoughts shape our reality, drive our actions, and ultimately determine our success.

Deanna unpacks the science behind mindset, discussing negativity bias, confirmation bias, and how past experiences have shaped our limiting beliefs. But the good news? Those beliefs can be rewritten. This episode offers practical, actionable steps to shift from an I CAN’T mindset to one of I CAN, setting the foundation for self-confidence that leads to action.

What Listeners Will Learn:

  • Why your beliefs shape your reality
  • How negativity bias and confirmation bias reinforce self-doubt
  • The impact of carrying old limiting beliefs—and how to let them go
  • How to actively rewire your brain to believe in your own capabilities
  • A powerful I CAN exercise to shift limiting beliefs into possibilities

Memorable Quotes:

  • "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." – Henry Ford
  • "Your thoughts shape your reality. If you believe YOU CAN’T, you might not even try. But if you believe YOU CAN, you start looking for ways to make it Possible."
  • "Just because you’ve been carrying it doesn’t mean it belongs to you. And just because you’ve collected it doesn’t mean you have to keep it. GET RID OF IT!"
  • "Negativity bias keeps us stuck in the I CAN'T mindset because it makes us believe that our failures are bigger, more significant, and more defining than they actually are."
  • "Your brain will find proof of whatever you tell it to look for."
  • "What we believe is what comes to be."
  • "Confidence isn’t built in your head—it’s built in action."
  • "Implementation leads to transformation."

This episode inspires listeners to challenge their limiting beliefs, rewire their thought patterns, and take the first step toward proving to themselves that they CAN.
