Someone asks you to take on something new—an opportunity, a project, a leadership moment—and before you even consider it, your brain shuts it down with two words: “I can’t.”

In this episode of The Confident Woman Podcast, Rachel breaks down what limiting beliefs really are—not the loud, obvious ones, but the quiet, automatic stories and phrases you repeat so often they start to sound like truth.

She explains why limiting beliefs are dangerous, how they quietly shape your identity, and how to change the internal conversation that keeps you stuck—so you stop speaking death over your potential and start speaking life.

This conversation is grounded in Scripture and practical application, giving you a simple framework to identify one belief that’s been costing you momentum and replace it with truth and action.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What limiting beliefs actually sound like in everyday life
• Why “that’s just how I am” is one of the most dangerous phrases we say
• How your words shape your identity and future
• Why awareness is the first step to real change
• A simple assignment to challenge one belief this week with action

Scripture for the Soul:

• Proverbs 18:21
• 2 Corinthians 10:5
• James 1:19

Action Step:

Identify one limiting belief you’ve been repeating—out loud or internally. Ask yourself: Is this actually true, or just familiar? Then take one small action this week that contradicts that belief.

Because new evidence creates new beliefs—and new beliefs create new identities.
