#69: The Danger of Self-Deception

In episode #69: The Danger of Self-Deception, host Martin Lopez explores the silent yet destructive impact of self-deception on your confidence, relationships, and performance. He highlights how small lies to ourselves—like “It’s fine” or “I’ll start tomorrow”—chip away at our integrity, making us lose trust in our word. While these lies provide temporary comfort, they ultimately prevent growth, discipline, and facing hard truths.

Self-deception limits personal development and damages relationships, as others struggle to support someone who isn’t honest with themselves. The false sense of freedom it offers is a cage, keeping you from reaching your full potential.
