Why Your Beliefs Are Running Your Life And How To Change Them

Author: Sarah Ann Macklin June 26, 2026 Duration: 15:31

This week's Live Well Be Well Moment with Nir Eyal, behavioural designer and bestselling author.

We delve into the science of beliefs, why your brain lies to you even when you know the truth, why manifesting can actually work against you, and what the difference between a limiting and liberating belief really means.

Sarah Ann brings a grounded perspective shaped by both personal experience and formal study, moving beyond quick fixes to explore what sustainable wellness actually looks like.

You'll hear from a range of insightful guests alongside Sarah Ann's own reflections, all aimed at making sense of the information overload. The tone is refreshingly human-this isn't about perfection, but about finding a smarter, more integrated approach to everyday living. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining a knowledgeable, empathetic friend who believes that feeling well shouldn't feel like a constant struggle. It’s a space for anyone wanting to move past the confusion and cultivate a genuine sense of vitality that fits into a real, busy life.
