Banish the Lies: Outsmart Your Inner Critic
Banish the Lies is a podcast for women who overthink, self-sabotage, and secretly feel stuck, even when life looks “together” on the outside.
Each week, host Tania Cervoni explores the quiet fears and false stories that shape how we see ourselves, lies like “you’ll never be enough” or “if it’s not perfect, it doesn’t count.” Through honest reflection, lived experience, and simple mindset shifts, she invites you to loosen your grip on fear, soften perfectionism, and step out of performance.
You’ll hear conversations about identity, self-trust, and what it actually looks like to live from truth instead of fear, with practical ways to quiet self-doubt and return to what matters.
Because healing doesn’t mean fixing who you are. It means remembering you were never broken.

Tania explores how expectations shape what we notice, and how being intentional about what we look for can quietly shift how we experience the day.
Happy Monday morning. Quick disclaimer, you're getting the raspy just getting over a virus version of me today, so we're just gonna have to make it work. This morning I came across a quote that made me pause. What we see depends mainly on what we look for. And I thought, yeah, that feels true, especially this morning because when I woke up, I wasn't looking for anything inspiring or energizing or hopeful. I was scanning my body for signs that I was still sick, asking questions like. Do I feel worse? Am I going to make it through the day? Should I cancel things? And the more I looked for signs of not feeling well, the more I found them and it made me realize I'm actually not very intentional. About what I expect from my day. I kind of just wake up and let my brain go wherever it goes, and usually it goes straight to, you know, what's not feeling great when I'm anxious about or worried about. But I know people who do something very different. They start their day by naming what they expect to see. They literally speak it out loud and say things like, thank you for the good that's coming today. Thank you for the opportunity to make a difference. Thank you for what's going to work out in my favor. And I used to hear that and think, really, but when you think about it, it's not that mysterious. If you train your attention to look for something, you're far more likely to notice it and perhaps even magnetize it to yourself. Same day, different filter, different experience. So today I'm experimenting with that. I am not going to ignore the fact that I'm getting over something, but. I'm also not making that the only thing that I'm looking for, because both can exist. So here's the question I have for you. What are you choosing to look for today before your usual way of seeing takes over? Have a good one.
