Welcome to the first episode of my summer series, where every week I put one belief on the table and try to change your mind about it. First up: luck.

In this episode I'm going to show you what's actually happening inside your own head when something looks like luck, and why the thing you've been calling a lucky break is really your brain fetching evidence for who you already believe you are. I'll walk you through the story that cost me years in my photography business, the brain science that finally changed my mind, and a three-part practice you can start this week to change what your brain lets you see. Come in with an open mind. Or don't, and let me change it for you.

In this episode

  • Why "some people are just lucky" is one of the most expensive beliefs you can hold
  • How your reticular activating system works, and why it decides what you get to notice
  • The bouncer at the door of your brain, and how your identity is the guest list
  • Why brilliant strategy keeps failing you when it lands on an old identity
  • The real difference between wishing and deciding, and why your brain treats them like two different languages
  • How to regulate your body so a new identity stops registering as danger
  • A three-part practice to change your own guest list this week
