What if the critical voice telling you "you're not good enough" isn't actually yours? In this raw and transformative conversation, emotional mastery coach Lenora Edwards reveals how she discovered that her decades-long eating disorder and crippling self-doubt were driven by inherited voices from her past - not her authentic self. She shares her breakthrough moment in a dentist's chair that led to developing the SHIFT Protocol, a practical method for identifying whose voice is really speaking in your head and trading limiting thoughts for empowering ones. If you've ever struggled with imposter syndrome, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck despite your success, this episode offers a powerful roadmap for reclaiming control of your inner dialogue and, ultimately, your life.

• Why the limiting beliefs holding you back aren't actually "yours" and where they really come from
• The 5-step SHIFT Protocol for transforming negative thoughts in real-time
• How to distinguish between inherited shame voices and your authentic inner wisdom
• Why trading thoughts works better than trying to transform them completely
• The difference between confidence and certainty in leadership situations
• Practical strategies for setting boundaries without people-pleasing or emotional overwhelm
