Mindset Rehab: Excuse Addiction

Your brain is the best liar you’ve ever met — and excuses are its favorite trick. In this episode, we break down why your brain creates “logical” reasons to avoid discomfort… and how those micro-moments quietly sabotage your confidence, your business, and your future self.

From AM Sally vs. PM Sally battling over a bag of Lay’s potato chips to the seven excuses entrepreneurs make at every growth edge, this episode will help you spot the exact thoughts that keep you stuck.
