Our beliefs shape our lives in powerful ways—often more than we realize. In this episode, we explore how the beliefs we’ve inherited from our environment, upbringing, and culture might be holding us back from creating the life we truly desire.

Are your beliefs creating resistance between where you are and where you want to be? Whether in business, relationships, or personal growth, subconscious beliefs can often sabotage our efforts to manifest the outcomes we want.

We discuss:

• How beliefs are formed and their origins.
• Why your environment and the people you grew up around influence your current mindset.
• The importance of self-reflection to uncover and question limiting beliefs.
• How exposure to new environments and perspectives can help you identify subconscious blocks.

• Ways to align your beliefs with your goals to reduce resistance and manifest the life you want.

This episode is a deep dive into understanding the power of your mind and the impact of beliefs on your journey. Tune in to discover practical steps to break free from limiting patterns and build the life you’ve envisioned.

In this episode of Time With Rella, we dive into the realities of "Dysfunctional Nigerian Living" with Ife, discussing therapy, social conditioning, and the impact of unhealed trauma on relationships and parenting.

We recorded this conversation in 2023, back when the dollar was under 1,400 naira. Now, it's risen to 1,700—highlighting just how tough inflation has become and how uncertain daily life can be.

We talk about how many Nigerians feel like they're living on the edge, facing constant changes that can disrupt everything overnight. From the normalization of anger and abuse to the effects of patriarchy and feminism, we explore the pressures people face while trying to heal and grow.

Ife shares why she sought therapy, the cost of finding help, and how living in Nigeria affects her mental health and relationships. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about personal growth in a challenging environment.

How has inflation or social conditioning affected your life? Are we truly ready to address our trauma and create lasting change?
