Episode 261: The most valuable question you can ask yourself
Mon Feb 02 2026
Lately, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to outsource our opinions.
About clothes.Food.Workouts.Supplements.Even our bodies.
In this episode, I’m talking about the copycat culture we’re all swimming in right now. The constant links, recommendations, and “everyone loves this” energy. And the insidious way it teaches us to stop trusting ourselves.
I’m sharing the one question I keep coming back to when I feel that pull to buy it, try it, or do it just because someone else swears by it: How is this actually working for me?
I'm talking about:
Why copying someone else’s strategy is a fast track to self-doubtWhat’s really happening when something “works for everyone else” but not for youHow to stop blaming yourself when a product, plan, or trend doesn’t work for you
If you’ve ever bought the thing, tried the plan, or followed the advice and thought, why isn’t this working for me? — this one will hit home.
