Episode Summary: In this Think Thursday episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly explores why change often feels harder than it should—and what’s really going on beneath the surface. It’s not that you’re incapable of change. More likely, you’re stuck in what she calls a belief echo: a practiced, well-worn thought that has become so automatic it feels like your identity.These belief echoes, like “I always give up” or “I’m not someone who finishes things,” aren’t facts. They’re just thoughts your brain has repeated—and protected—over time. This episode unpacks the neuroscience behind that, especially the role of confirmation bias: your brain’s tendency to find evidence for what you already believe and filter out anything that contradicts it.Molly offers a grounded, science-backed roadmap to help you identify, challenge, and rewire belief echoes, so you can create change from a place of possibility—not from your past.In This Episode:What belief echoes are and how they quietly shape your behaviorWhy your brain resists change by clinging to familiar thought loopsHow confirmation bias reinforces your old identityThe paradox of belief: you must stop believing one thing before you have proof of the new thingA practical process for replacing limiting beliefs with intentional onesKey Quote:“Change isn’t hard because you’re broken. It’s hard because you’re believing the stories from your past more than your possibility for the future.”Share This Episode:If this message spoke to you, consider sharing it with someone who feels stuck. You're not stuck. You're just rehearsing an old belief. Let's start rehearsing something new.
