Have you ever reacted to something and wondered, “Why did I do that?”
Or caught yourself believing something about yourself that doesn’t even feel true?

In this episode of The Perceptual Shift Show, James and Robbie Quine explore how much of our thinking, reactions, and self-image isn’t actually ours — it’s inherited. From family dynamics, early conditioning, and subtle messages absorbed growing up, many of us are still carrying emotional “trash” that no longer serves us.

Reading from page 13 of The Perceptual Shift: How Your Perceptions Shape Reality, James and Robbie dive into the process of reevaluating inherited beliefs. They unpack how old beliefs, toxic reactions, and outdated survival patterns quietly shape our adult lives, often without us realizing it.

This episode isn’t about blaming parents or reliving the past. It’s about awareness — noticing what you’ve been carrying out of habit rather than truth, and consciously deciding what’s worth keeping and what’s time to discard.

As Robbie shares, this work can feel like “cleaning off your glasses and not seeing through an old filter anymore.” When you take out the trash, you don’t become someone new — you make room for the best version of yourself.
