Ep 265: Is It Really Your Life That Sucks—Or Just the Way You’re Thinking About It?

Renae Saager

You left the job.
You bought the new jeans.
You finally broke up (or got together).
And somehow… you still feel off.

In this episode, we’re talking about the mindset vs. circumstance trap—the belief that if we just fix the “thing,” we’ll feel better. But what happens when you do make the change… and still feel like shit?

We’ll cover:

  • Why your brain comes with you wherever you go (sorry)
  • The real difference between mindset work and magical thinking
  • Thought audits that actually help you stop spiraling
  • How to tell when something really does need to change

This isn’t about gaslighting yourself into being grateful—it’s about learning how to tell the truth and stop chasing fixes that don’t fix the real problem.

Let’s get into it.
