Summary

You’re not stuck because of your job, your past, or your partner… You’re stuck because of the lies you believe about yourself. In this episode, the S2S crew unpacks the real reason most people never elevate: self-deception. You’re grinding, praying, and planning—but you’re out of alignment with the truth. We’re calling it out—and giving you the mindset shift to finally move forward. No more delusion. No more excuses. It’s time to get free. 💡 The awareness you’ve been avoiding? It’s the breakthrough you’ve been praying for. 👇 Tap in and take back control of your life. 🎤 Also, don’t miss the Next Level Speakers Conference: June 7-9, Atlanta | Featuring Lisa Nichols + Eric Thomas on the same stage for the first time ever! 👉 NextLevelSpeakersConference.com 🛎️ Join our Patreon for exclusive lives, behind-the-scenes content, and early access: ⁠⁠http://patreon.com/S2SPodcast120⁠⁠ 👉 Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@s2spodcast⁠ 👉 Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠S2S Podcast Channel
