Episode 2608:

Nia Shanks explores how the labels we internalize, like "lazy," "emotional eater," or "all-or-nothing thinker, "can silently shape our behaviors and identity. She offers a compassionate yet practical guide to challenging these limiting narratives and creating space for change by focusing on actions, not self-judgments.

Quotes to ponder:

"Labels can influence our behaviors and how we view ourselves, and not in a good way."

"Challenge the negative labels you’ve attached to yourself by changing your actions."

"You’re not ‘lazy’, you’re someone who has been struggling with motivation or direction."
