    Episode 08 - You're Not who they Told You You were.

    You’ve been told stories about yourself your whole life — some loud, some silent. Some came from parents, teachers, partners, even society. But here’s the truth: most of those stories were never yours to carry. In this episode, I’m inviting you to break the false identity you’ve been handed — and finally meet the real you beneath it all. We’ll talk about how other people’s labels can trap you, how to begin seeing yourself differently, and why it’s time to rewrite the story in your own voice. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt invisible, misjudged, or boxed in. ⸻ You’re not broken. You’re just becoming. Let’s walk it together. ⸻ 🧠 What You’ll Get:  • A raw mindset shift about identity and worth  • A physical reinforcement moment to lock it in  • A mission-driven reminder that it’s never too late to evolve ⸻ 📢 Push the Positive. Drop the Negative. 🎧 This is My Mind First — with Paul Cotton.

This is the episode that moves you. If you let it. ⸻ 🎙️ Hosted by Paul Cotton Educator. Father. Firestarter.
