Summary

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox open up the vault on the beliefs we were 100% convinced were true… and turned out to be absolute delusion. From teenage confidence that made no sense, to “I can definitely handle this” addiction logic, to dating fantasies, career myths, people-pleasing lies, and the stories we told ourselves just to survive — we unpack the wild, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking things we genuinely believed.

It’s raw, it’s ridiculous, it’s shockingly relatable — and it’s a reminder that being wrong about your life doesn’t make you a failure. It makes you human. And very often, it makes you free.

If you’ve ever looked back at an old version of yourself and thought, “Oh God… I really believed that?” — this one is for you.

0:37.0	How are you feeling about the delusional diaries? Do you know what? Like, weirdly, I'm quite looking forward to this because although they were cast iron beliefs, I think that maybe in talking about it, it just shows maybe a little bit of maturity. Yes. I also think it's funny to look back, see ways in
0:56.8	which human beings can completely change, change course, change beliefs. And I'm sure in 10 or 20
1:02.8	years that we will look back and think we're delusional now. Can I make one disclaimer about today's
1:08.6	episode? Go on. So I love you.
