Break Free From Negative Self-Talk (The Core Belief Rewrite)

What do hardened maximum security inmates and boardroom leaders have in common? According to Michael Wood, it’s the mind’s struggle for peace and the powerful tools anyone can use to break free. As COO of Jarrett Companies and creator of the "Learn to Love Being You" program, Michael brings both lived experience and a coach’s heart to real-world transformation.

In today’s episode, Michael opens up about the surprising spiritual depth he’s witnessed behind prison doors, why breathwork matters for both inmates and executives, and how to start untangling negative core beliefs that keep us stuck. He shares practical strategies to quiet the never-ending inner chatter, let go of limiting self-identities, and build a new internal script—no matter how intense the pressure. If you’re tired of fighting your own mind and ready for real relief, this conversation delivers actionable tools, hands-on exercises, and a challenge that just might shift your day.

Get ready to rethink self-mastery and discover what’s possible when you stop resisting the present moment and learn to love being you.
