The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we are not enough.

It's the mother of all lies and one that breeds smaller lies we tend to believe about ourselves.

Now, maybe we're not saying those exact words to ourselves every day in the mirror, but they are seeping into our thought process in other ways.

I'm not good enough.

I'm not worthy.

I don't deserve to be happy.

They could never love me.

If left unchecked, this lie can completely derail our life and ultimately rob us of our life.

In this episode, we'll talk about where this lie comes from and how to dismantle it. And while it may sound simple in nature, it's a practice we'll have to partake in for the rest of our lives.

We lost a significant person when Dolly Parton left this earth on Aug. 25.

I remember the first time I saw her. I didn't know much about her, but when she made a cameo in the movie 'The Beverly Hillbillies', I was enamored with the way she sparkled on camera.

It's not just because she had a sparkly dress on or her hair was teased higher than the heavens, it was the way she glowed from within. That glow doesn't come from procedures or makeup or even good lighting.

It comes from our Heavenly Father.

See the world loved Dolly for so many reasons, but I think the biggest is the way she reflected the light and the love of Jesus.

In this episode, we're going to dive into the things that we can all learn from Dolly's life - the things that made her who she was - and why they matter in this world more than ever.

So take notes because we're now carrying the torch.

Do you think you're a failure? Honestly, reading those words "I'm a failure" feels outrageous. Like, who would ever say that about themselves?

Maybe you've never actually said those words to yourself, but perhaps you've alluded them in another way. It's not "I'm a failure" but rather "I'm a terrible mom" or "I always mess things up" or "I can't do anything right."

Those words are a slippery slope to adopting failure as an identity.

In this week's episode we'll identify the sneaky ways failure starts to take over our lives. We're not denying that failure will happen, we're just reframing the way we think about failure. While it is a part of life, it's not life itself.

We'll also come up with a gameplan to combat this lie for the next time it tries to sneak it's way into our mind.

Oh! And I can't wait to share the surprising thing I learned about the word "failure" that will forever change the way you think about it.

Ever feel stuck? Like, no matter how hard you try, you can't change. Or maybe it's not you, but your situation or your environment or even that person.

What if I told you that was a lie?

See, we often limit ourselves in life because we believe that where we're at is final, when in reality it's just a chapter in our life. Often times, the reason we are stuck is because we've allowed ourselves to be comfortable here. In other words, we've told ourselves we can't make a change and therefore, we have chosen to be stuck.

The beautiful thing about life is that we can always make a change. We can pivot, redirect or even start all over if we choose.

In this episode, we'll identify the origins of this lie and look at the ways it manifests in our life. We'll also build up a case against this lie and train ourselves to combat it, the next time it pops into our mind.

How often would you say that you neglect doing something, simply because of the opinions of others?

I know what you're thinking, I never do that. It's easy to believe we don't care about what other people think. But the truth is, we do.

And we don't even realize it until it shows up - when we don't post, when we don't speak up, when we choose what is comfortable rather than what is good for us.

And often times, the biggest opinion we're afraid of, is our own.

We count ourselves out before we even give ourselves a chance to try. If we don't try, we can't disappoint ourselves and therefore don't have to live with the consequences.

In this episode we're dismantling the lie, "everyone is judging me." We know that people aren't thinking about us as much as we believe they are, but it's much deeper than that. We've already decided that who we are and what we're trying to do isn't good enough.

Tell me, what's something you're looking forward to. Maybe it's a trip or an upcoming event. It might even be a season of life you're anxious to get to.

Now that we're on the subject, I'm curious... Do you feel like your anticipation and excitement for that things is hindering your ability to be happy here and now? I'm willing to bet is has.

See, we can be so eager for something that we will what's right in front of us. It's like waiting for Christmas Day and missing out on the entire Christmas season.

And what happens if that thing you're hoping for never arrives or, when it does, it doesn't satisfy you the way you thought it would?

Believing that happiness can only happen on the other side of that moment, event or person is one of the biggest lies we cal allow ourselves to be trapped in. And while change is good and it's wonderful to have things to look forward to, we can't be so caught up in "one day" that we miss this day.

In this episode, we're going to call out this lie for what it is, identify some of the ways this lie gets rooted in our minds and arm ourselves to fight it in the future.

Have you ever stopped to think about what you're thinking about?

Seriously.

Those thoughts that fill up your mind are not just fluttering butterflies passing by. They're actually bees who are looking for a flower on which to latch themselves to. Some are good and some are bad.

If we're not careful, we can catch bad thoughts and allow them to take root in our minds, thus becoming our entire personality. Because our brains are malleable, constantly growing and acquiring new knowledge, we can inadvertently teach our brains to actively work against us.

But the good news is, we a can also shape our brains in to resilient muscles that can withstand pressure and weight. We can allow positive, encouraging and motivating thoughts to dig deep roots in our brains which can push us to new heights that we couldn't have dreams were possible.

So, let me ask you again, have you ever stopped to think about what you're thinking about? Because your future depends on it.

In this episode, we're stepping into a new series called You're Lying to Yourself where we will dismantle the most common lies we tell outselves week by week.

We'll set the stage by discussing how the brain can become our greatest ally or our biggest adversary. And we'll highlight the importance of taking some mental inventory regulary.

If we were to look at our year like a football or basketball game, we would be starting the second half right about now. The first half is done and whether we feel like we're winning or losing, there's still more minutes to be played.

It's crucial that we huddle up and head into the lockerroom for a few minutes in order for us to have a successful second half. Because at the end of the day, the goals you've set for yourself matter.

Yeah, you remember those resolutions right? The ones you scribbled into you journal or pinned to a vision board at the beginning of the year. Those things are still worth chasing, but we've got to be strategic now that we're midway through 2026.

So, in this episode we'll talk about three things that need to happen before we get back on the field. We need to review some things, renew some things and recover some things.
