Ever wonder why some people see kindness everywhere while others only notice rejection? It’s not the world that’s different, it’s our perception. Brenda and Catherine explore how our brains filter reality based on our beliefs, often without us realizing it.

Using Tony Robbins’ “red car” experiment as a jumping-off point, they speak to how 95% of our brain activity happens unconsciously. These mental filters shape everything from our relationships to our opportunities. Beliefs like “I have to do everything alone” or “nobody wants women to succeed” can become self-fulfilling prophecies, until we learn to spot them.

Through personal stories and a simple four-step process, the hosts show you how to become aware of your filters, question them, explore new perspectives, and intentionally shift your focus. They invite you to experiment with your attention, because when you change what you look for, your whole world can shift.

Highlights:
• Our reticular activating system (RAS) unconsciously filters information based on prior beliefs and fears
• Tony Robbins' "red car" exercise demonstrates how we notice only what we're looking for
• Negative beliefs like "nobody wants to help me" create self-fulfilling prophecies
• Awareness is the first step to changing perception
• Questioning assumptions opens space for alternative explanations
• Setting conscious intentions redirects our attention
• New skills may be needed to support belief shifts
• Curiosity is more powerful than judgment
• Daily challenge: look for evidence of kindness
• Evening reflection: “What surprised me today?”
