We all have an inner voice, but what if it’s quietly holding us back? Retired therapist Judith Belmont shares how to spot and reframe limiting beliefs that often go unchecked. From thought traps to emotional spirals, she offers grounded tools to shift your mindset with compassion. It’s not about pretending, it’s about choosing thoughts that truly serve you, because mental wellness starts with how you talk to yourself.

Key takeaways to listen for

  • What it means to have a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset

  • The power of identifying “ANTS” and how to reframe them

  • Common cognitive distortions and how they hold us back

  • A mindset shift that instantly softens inner criticism

  • The difference between thoughts and feelings and how both influences the way we speak
