This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks the limiting beliefs that quietly shape how you see yourself, your work, your money, and your life. A lot of what we call self-doubt, fear, or “not feeling ready” isn’t random. It’s learned. Formed in childhood. Reinforced over time. And often… never questioned. In this episode, Adelle explores how early experiences shape core beliefs like:

  • “I’m not good enough”
  • “I have to prove my worth”
  • “Success isn’t for me”

And how these beliefs show up in adulthood:

  • playing small at work
  • struggling with visibility
  • undercharging in business
  • constantly seeking validation

Drawing from psychology frameworks like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema Theory, and learned helplessness, this episode helps you understand why you keep repeating certain patterns and how to begin shifting them. If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding yourself back, this episode will help you see why. And more importantly what you can start doing about it.
