How Brainwashing Keeps You in a Life You Don’t Want 

How Brainwashing Keeps You in a Life You Don’t Want 

Are You Thinking Your Own Thoughts… Or Someone Else’s? Let me ask you something—have you ever stopped to wonder if the thoughts you’re thinking are actually yours? In this conversation, I sat down with Rebecca Lemov, a Harvard professor and author of The Instability of Truth, and what unfolded was a real eye-opener. We didn’t just scratch the surface—we went into the guts of how we get conditioned to believe things about the world… and about ourselves… without even realizing it. Rebecca laid out something that really hit me: brainwashing doesn’t start with someone else taking control of your mind—it begins when you stop asking questions. That moment when you stop challenging your beliefs, when you’re scrolling, liking, agreeing without even knowing why—that’s where it starts. She walked me through a chilling example: a Facebook study where they manipulated nearly 700,000 users' moods without their knowledge. That’s real. That happened. And if that doesn’t wake you up, I don’t know what will. We also got personal. I shared how trauma—whether from rejection, heartbreak, or failure—can create space for a mind virus to take root. That voice in your head saying, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never succeed,”—that’s not truth. That’s programming. And unless you confront it, question it, and replace it, it’ll trap you in a version of your life that’s far smaller than what you were made for. Rebecca made it clear: being educated or intelligent doesn’t make you immune—it might even make you more vulnerable. This episode isn’t about conspiracy theories or pointing fingers—it’s about ownership. About reclaiming your identity, your voice, your individuality. Don’t go through life unknowingly living in someone else’s version of who you’re supposed to be. Don’t meet God at the end and realize you lived someone else's life because you never questioned your own thoughts. You want to change your life? Start by challenging what you assume to be true. Start asking better questions. Key Takeaways: Brainwashing often starts from within—when you stop questioning your own thoughts. Trauma can open the door for limiting beliefs to become your internal truth. Social media algorithms are designed to manipulate your mood and feed confirmation bias. There are 8 classic signs of brainwashing, but the key one? Control over your environment. Intelligence doesn’t protect you from mind control—it can deepen the illusion. Challenge your assumptions, and you can change your entire life trajectory. Let this be your wake-up call. You don’t have to be part of a group to have value. You’re not your past. You’re not your trauma. You're an individual—and your thoughts matter. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Get my exclusive Monday Motivation training in GrowthDay, the world’s #1 app for advanced mindset and personal development.

When Your Dream Ends w/ Eric Wood

When Your Dream Ends w/ Eric Wood

Every ending is the beginning of something great… First-round draft pick, 9 years in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, Pro Bowler, and an amazing athlete I am so excited to have my friend, Eric Wood on The Ed Mylett Show! Not only is this man a peak performer, but he has also mastered the art of pivoting and found great success in life after football. Most collegiate and professional athletes have an extremely difficult time transitioning from life in the game to a life after sports because, by nature, we often define WHO we are by WHAT WE DO! And this is NOT THE CASE! And I’m sure some of you can relate to this. Over the last year, MANY of us have found ourselves in a position where we were forced to PIVOT. Whether we lost a loved one, lost a job, had to figure out homeschooling, working from home, had to shift your entire business model, or even shut down a business. While it may feel like your dreams are on hold or you feel cheated out of your dreams, this is a time to rely on your FAITH that God’s got your back! What do some of the most successful people in many areas have in common? Their ability to CONSTANTLY pivot, their ability to STACK GOOD HABITS, and their FAITH that things are happening for them and not to them. In this interview, Eric breaks down KEY STRATEGIES on how to shift your identity from being defined by what you do to being defined by WHO YOU ARE. We break down the key qualities and habits that all the GOATS practice on a daily basis that fuel them to greatness. AND you’ll learn how Eric was able to identify and use his natural gifts to pivot his life and find success after football. Whether you’re an athlete, a teacher, entrepreneur, parent, business person, or anything in between, you MUST learn this lesson of PIVOTING! 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈  → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ▶︎ INSTAGRAM ▶︎ FACEBOOK  ▶︎ LINKEDIN ▶︎ TWITTER ▶︎ WEBSITE Learn more about your ad choices.

Life After Trauma - with Elizabeth Frazier

Life After Trauma - with Elizabeth Frazier

“My intention is to give others hope that life can still be amazing, no matter what we've gone through.”   Life After Trauma  - w/ Elizabeth Frazier   This is perhaps one of the most important interviews on one of the most important yet too often silenced, overlooked, ignored, and normalized crises in the world.   And it is happening in our own backyards. The US is the number 1 consumer of child trafficking in the world and the Super Bowl (just 11 days away) is historically the biggest trafficking event.   My courageous guest today has held a special place in my heart since the first time I heard her speak. And as much as I want to believe that her story is a rare occurrence, unfortunately, it is not.   Elizabeth Frazier is a sex trafficking survivor, hero, and inspiration for anyone who is struggling to cope with trauma or pain.   From being groomed for trafficking at just 4 years old and enduring over 20 years of abuse, Elizabeth did not let it destroy her. As a successful entrepreneur and motivational speaker, she is STILL a believer that even through your worst experiences, everything in life happens FOR you and not TO you.   In this interview, Elizabeth shares her story, her journey to healing and warning signs that someone you know may be a victim of sex trafficking.   No matter what you are going through, this interview will teach you practical skills to no let trauma become your emotional home.   We can all relate to each other through our pain. You are not alone. You can come back from the darkest of places.   If you see or suspect someone is a victim of sex trafficking call the National Human Trafficking Hotline 1 (888) 373-7888 or Text “HELP” or “INFO” to 233733.
