What's Inside? 🔍

A three-step method for working through any belief that's got you stuck.

  • STEP 1 — Pause & Question the Thought: is it true, is it absolutely true, and who are you when you hold onto it?
  • STEP 2 — Turn the Thought Around: could the opposite be true — of the other person, or of yourself?
  • STEP 3 — Use AI as a Reflection Partner (optional): a ready-to-use ChatGPT prompt that walks you through both steps if you'd rather talk it out

No overthinking, no right answer — just notice what shifts.


I'm Paula. I've spent 14 years asking hundreds of guests how they actually think — and Byron Katie's four questions, which I unpack with Nir Eyal on the podcast in Episode 699, are the ones I've kept using long after we stopped recording. Beliefs are tools, not truths. This is how I find the perspective that helps.
