At 25, we reach physical maturity, but emotional and psychological maturity often comes much later — if it happens at all. By then, our minds are filled with beliefs, perspectives, and rules from others: parents, teachers, media, society.

These ideas, many of them not our own, often shape our lives without us even realizing it. We’ve internalized everything from diet advice to life expectations, but most of it is subconscious and not even true.

By age 30, we may start to see this mental clutter, but letting go of these deeply embedded ideas is like cleaning out a hoarder's house.

Emotional attachments to these beliefs make it hard to separate from them.

Yet, without clearing out the mental junk, we’ll never truly think for ourselves, never truly know who we are.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the process of decluttering your mind—learning to examine your thoughts and beliefs, keeping only what serves you, and freeing yourself from the unnecessary baggage holding you back.
