ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Britt Lefkoe grew up surrounded by mindset work, learning from an early age that our beliefs shape our lives. But that awareness came with a cost: the feeling that every difficult emotion or limiting belief was another problem she needed to fix.
In this conversation, Britt and Marc explore what happens when self-awareness turns against us, why emotions aren’t the problem but the stories we attach to them can be, and the profound difference between having an insight and experiencing a true breakthrough. Britt also shares the simple phrase she uses when life feels overwhelming and why personal development was never meant to become our life. It was supposed to help us live it.
