Ep. #262: How Confirmation Bias is Derailing Your Best Life

Emotions aren’t just random waves of chaos trying to ruin your day—they’re messengers, trying to tell you something important. But are you actually listening? In this episode, we’re diving into the truth about emotions, why we feel them so intensely, and how to stop drowning in what I call "puddle emotions." These are the feelings that keep us stuck, spiraling, or overwhelmed—like guilt, fear, or self-doubt—when we don’t know how to process them. I’ll walk you through how to recognize these emotional messengers, decode what they’re trying to tell you, and most importantly, take your power back. Because you are not your emotions—you are the one experiencing them. And when you learn how to work with them instead of against them, that’s where true emotional freedom begins. Tune in for a real, relatable conversation on how to stop letting emotions control you and start using them as the powerful guides they’re meant to be.

Life coaching isn’t about someone telling you what to do—it’s about having a trusted guide who helps you uncover your own answers, break through mental roadblocks, and step into the life you truly want. Think of it like having a personal strategist for your growth, someone who sees your potential even when you don’t, and gives you the tools to tap into your own power. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need clarity on your next steps, a coach helps you navigate life’s challenges with confidence, purpose, and direction. It’s about shifting from merely surviving to truly thriving—living intentionally instead of just going through the motions. And the best part? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Free consultations are available with any of our BFLY Coaches at bflycoaching.com/coaching. Because the life you want isn’t as far away as it seems—you just need the right support to get there.

Your brain is wired to seek out evidence that confirms what you already believe, whether it’s “I’m not good enough,” “Success isn’t for me,” or “Mondays are the worst.” And guess what? It’ll find proof everywhere. But here’s the kicker—just because you believe it doesn’t mean it’s true. This week on Creating Her Best Life Now, we’re diving deep into how this sneaky mental habit could be holding you back—and, more importantly, how to break free from it. If you’re ready to challenge those old, limiting beliefs and start creating a reality that actually serves you, tune in! Your best life is waiting… once you stop letting your brain sabotage it.

Ever feel like you're living the same day over and over again? Like you're stuck in some weird, soul-sucking loop of “meh” and “whatever”? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Indifference and complacency sneak in like uninvited houseguests, making themselves comfortable while you’re too exhausted to kick them out. In this episode, we’re getting real about that numbing autopilot mode—why we fall into it, how it tricks us into thinking we’re “fine,” and, most importantly, how to break the cycle. Because let’s be honest, “fine” is just a polite way of saying “I’ve settled.” If you’ve been waiting for a sign to shake things up, this is it. It’s time to stop pressing repeat on a life you don’t love and start making moves toward something better. Let’s get into it! Make 2025 your year with the Year of You program!
