The two versions of you
LGS course closes in hours
There's one version of you that exists right now.
This version overthinks decisions, replays conversations obsessively, and holds back from asking for what you want because rejection feels like a form of death.
This version is exhausting.
Then there's another version.
This is the one that appears around certain people where you feel completely at ease.
This version is calm, playful, and doesn't second-guess everything.
You just say what needs to be said, and it feels right.
Note, this is the same person, but you're having a completely different experience.
The difference isn't your circumstances or who you're with.
It's the thoughts you're entertaining. These are those beliefs running in the background.
When you're around people you trust, certain beliefs go quiet. But around others, your brain gets loud with thoughts like: 'I need approval from this person,' or 'rejection will make me less.'
When those beliefs aren't active, you're free.
But they get triggered around certain people or situations.
That's when you become the exhausting version of you.
Years of struggling with my own anxiety and learning from a range of mentors showed me:
You don't need different circumstances to become a calmer version of yourself. You need to disconnect from the beliefs that create the exhausting one.
Those beliefs feel permanent because you've run them for years. But they're just thoughts you've repeated until they become automatic.
When you see clear evidence they're false, they collapse.
Not slowly, but instantly.
Like shedding skin.
If you're ready to do this work, Let Go of the S#it That Weakens You closes today at 4pm ET in a few hours.
The course walks you through 15 steps that systematically identify and dismantle the beliefs keeping you stuck. Each step includes exercises designed to create immediate perspective shifts, which rewire how you see yourself and others.
You'll work through beliefs about approval, rejection, self-worth, personality, insecurity, shame, and how you relate to others.
By the end, you won't feel emotionally charged by rejection anymore. You become genuinely unbothered.
Right now it's $79 instead of the usual $197. I won't be offering this again until well into 2026.
To your happiness,
Alex
