S2-E17 | Stop Living Someone Else's Belief System
Download MP3Hamish and Juliana rip open the invisible cage of belief. How does unconscious programming dictate decisions, limit potential, and keep us trapped in societal scripts? Through raw war stories and unflinching self-examination, they examine the tension between mind-driven dogma and the body’s primal wisdom—that visceral “Wrong way!” scream we too often ignore.
Why do we cling to beliefs that strangle growth, even as relationships fracture and friends disown us? This isn’t theoretical: They confront the isolation of outgrowing comfort zones and the gritty work of replacing toxic narratives with truths that burn brighter than others’ expectations.
A no-bullshit guide to reclaiming power by aligning beliefs with your marrow-deep knowing, not the world’s hollow demands.

"I struggle with this because I didn't know how to reconcile certain beliefs. I didn't question those beliefs because they were what I was told to do and be. And when I started questioning those, my identity was being shattered. I had to challenge everything.

Takeaways
- Your body is your truth detector: physical discomfort often signals when your beliefs are out of alignment with your authentic self.
- Most of our limiting beliefs aren't even ours: they're inherited programming we've never bothered to examine.
- The loneliest part of transformation isn't losing others: it's losing your familiar identity and having to build a new one.
- When you start questioning one belief, be prepared: the whole house of cards might come tumbling down. That's normal.
- Growth isn't about adding more beliefs: it's about having the courage to strip away the ones that don't serve your truth.
