Mindset Matters - Episode #183 - Why You Feel Stuck: The Limiting Beliefs You Didn’t Know You Had

In episode 183 of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive into a powerful and eye-opening conversation about the unconscious beliefs that hold people back from living their most authentic, empowered lives. Drawing from Patrick’s recent presentation with Alfonso Cuadra at a real estate and personal development event, they explore “The 11 Hidden Beliefs That Keep You Stuck.” These deep-seated narratives often operate silently in the background of our minds, shaping our behaviours, decisions, and self-worth without us even realizing it.

Patrick begins by unpacking the first few limiting beliefs—“I’m not enough,” “I’m not worthy,” and “I’m not loved”—explaining how these subconscious programs can silently govern our actions. These beliefs often stem from seemingly innocent childhood experiences, parental comments, or emotional wounds, and evolve into inner constraints that manifest as overachievement, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or playing small.

The episode also addresses beliefs such as “I don’t matter,” “I’m not safe,” “I’m powerless,” and “There’s something wrong with me,” demonstrating how each one erodes confidence and self-expression. Patrick and Steffany highlight how these inner scripts impact not just goal achievement, but emotional freedom, joy, and meaningful connection.

A key takeaway? Awareness is the first step to transformation. Once these hidden beliefs are identified, they can be challenged, reprogrammed, and dissolved. Patrick encourages listeners to upgrade their “mental software” by paying attention to their emotional triggers, self-talk, and recurring patterns.

The conversation is candid, relatable, and packed with real-life stories, humour, and deep insight. It’s an invitation to uncover what’s really been holding you back—and to finally feel free enough to move forward.
