In this episode we talk about a common sneaky little cognitive phenomenon and the reason why we shouldn’t necessarily always believe what we think we see or hear. It’s called confirmation bias, and it shapes your daily life more than you think! In this episode, we uncover how your brain filters information, why it's resistant to change, and how to break free from self-limiting beliefs.

We discuss:
✅ How neural pathways reinforce our beliefs (whether helpful or harmful)
✅ Why your brain seeks evidence to confirm what you already think
✅ The surprising science behind what wakes men vs. women at night
✅ How confirmation bias plays out in midlife, menopause, and social media
✅ Ways to challenge your biases for better decision-making and personal growth

Your mindset has the power to shape your reality. Want to create lasting change? Tune in to discover practical tips to shift your perspective and opt to thrive!
