160. What If You Could Change Everything Starting Today w/ Braiden Belnap

7/23/2025
What if the questions you ask yourself could completely change your life? Too often we let what if spiral into fear and negativity. What if I fail? What if I am not good enough? What if I cannot change? But what if we flipped those questions and used them as fuel to move closer to our goals and the life we actually want? In this episode I share how asking the right what ifs helped me transform my own life. I open up about my journey of breaking free from drugs, making destructive choices, and surrounding myself with people who pulled me further from the person I wanted to be. It was not easy to walk away from that life but learning to reframe my thoughts changed everything. By changing the way we ask questions we can shift from fear to possibility. Instead of letting what if hold you back you can use it to imagine what is possible. What if I succeed? What if I build a life I love? What if this challenge becomes the turning point?
