Do limiting beliefs hold you back from your full potential? Of course they do. In this episode of “Ask Dr. Jodi”, I discuss the powerful and often invisible force of limiting beliefs—those internal narratives that quietly shape our behaviors, self-image, and relationships. Before welcoming special guest James Lumumba, I share how limiting beliefs are formed, often in response to negative experiences, and how they can lead to self-sabotage.
James joins the conversation to share his personal journey, including how launching his podcast challenged his own limiting beliefs and what he’s learned through interviewing therapists and sharing human stories. If you’ve ever felt stuck, held back by fear, or doubted your own abilities, this episode will offer clarity, insight, and hope.
