A Guided Belief Audit To Find What’s Yours

Your belief system is running the show, even when you don’t realize it. So grab your pen-and-paper to find the beliefs that propel you forward and the ones that quietly hold you back. Think of this as a guided belief audit for self-love, self-awareness, and real change, not vague “positive thinking.”

We build a simple map with five categories: family, school, work, religion, and society. Then we walk through questions that uncover your money mindset (budgeting, bills, retirement, scarcity), the relationship models you learned by watching your parents, and how early treatment shapes self-worth and self-esteem. If you’ve ever wondered why you repeat certain patterns, this framework helps you spot the source without spiraling into blame.

We also go deeper into why families can feel stuck across generations, including a candid take on generational trauma and the idea of “capacity” to hold money, success, love, or stability. From there we expand into siblings, , family traditions, and the ideals and values you keep or release. 

To close, we zoom out to culture and where you grew up, then land on what fills your cup today: relationships, daily rituals, environment, time, hobbies, spiritual practices, and health habits that bring you back to center. If this hits home, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s doing the work, and leave a review so more people can find it. What belief are you ready to let go of?

Sometimes you gotta be adult in the room to say something. Silence = Death.

Welcome And The Point Of Beliefs

SPEAKER_00 0:01

Hello, and welcome to Self-Lovin' with Auntie Robin. It's your auntie here teaching you how to do stuff. Welcome to the podcast. Today I'm just in Princess Park, and what we're going to talk about today is your belief system, because your beliefs are what shape and form you. It's whether it propels you forward or it holds you back. And today we're really going to sit here and analyze that through a series of questions that I'm going to ask you. This is probably going to be a pretty short podcast episode, but the thing is that by analyzing your beliefs, you are actually helping yourself figure out who you are at your core. Okay. But we don't get our beliefs just randomly. We're generally born into them. And that's the first place that we get our belief system from is our immediate family. Whether you like that one or not, it's the truth. So sitting down and analyzing your beliefs really kind of helps you realize: is this what I truly believe, or was this something that was put on me?

Set Up Your Five Categories

SPEAKER_00 1:14

So get out your pen and paper and let's get into it, okay? Because it's not just your family. We also have our belief systems are made up from our friends, our school, our work, as well as societal beliefs. And you can also include religion if you are a religious person, whatever your religion is. So each question you need to ask yourself what is it about that question and ask it for each one of those areas. Okay. So you're going to write down, there'll be family, school, work, religion, and societal beliefs. So you're going to have five categories that you have to answer for each one of these questions. Now, some of them are going to be specifically about family. Okay. But write them down. And then afterwards, when you're done with it, I want you to really sit down and look at it and see is this really what I believe in right now, who I am today? Because I bet you some of them you don't. And if you don't, you can let those beliefs go. That is the beauty of this. So take a look, figure out what you want to keep and what you don't, because this is going to be very influential for you.

Money Beliefs You Learned Early

SPEAKER_00 2:51

So the first question that I'm going to ask you is how did your family treat finances? How did your family treat money? Like budgeting-wise, billing-wise, retirement-wise? What were their beliefs and their systems that they used when dealing with money? And also don't forget, what did you learn in school about money? What did you learn at work with money? What did you learn with religion and money? And what did you learn society-wise or the worldview-wise about money?

Relationship Models And Self-Worth

SPEAKER_00 3:32

Our next question is: how did your parents treat each other? Because did they have a healthy relationship, a codependent relationship? How did they interact with each other? And I think that if you looked at like your first ever relationship that you have ever had with anybody, there's probably a lot of uh similar mirroring, shall we say, between what your parents' relationship is and what you basically learned from them. So it's really good to kind of analyze this because then that way you're kind of stopping any patterns that they put upon you that you thought was the way relationships were supposed to work, that probably may not have been actual. It's something that you need to look at, okay? Our next question is how did your parents treat you? Were you supported? Did you feel neglected? Because this is how you envision yourself. This is kind of where your self-worth starts coming into play, is how that they treated you or your siblings, because your siblings also have a huge influence on this part as well, sadly. But then I also want you to analyze how did people make you feel at school? How did people make you feel at work? How did people make you feel in society? How did religion make you feel? Because all those influences also affect your self-worth and your self-esteem. So if you have low self-esteem, this might be why. So it's kind of good to analyze that and figure that out so you can propel yourself forward and realize oh, that was them putting that on me. And you can eliminate some of that very easily just by doing that. And it is a groundbreaking and freeing experience once you do that. The next

Generational Trauma And Feeling Stuck

SPEAKER_00 6:01

question is: do you feel like your parents held you back in some way? Or like your family itself is kind of stuck in like a certain area, either that be love, money, success, or achieving like a certain level of something. Because if that is the case, did you ever think that maybe it might be generational? Because generational trauma is a real thing. And the survivors of the Holocaust actually scientifically proved this one because that was such a huge, huge traumatic event that it changed them on a cellular level that they pass down from their DNA. That is mind-blowing. So think about that. And if you do feel like your family is stuck, something that else that you can do is write down why do I think my family is stuck in whatever area it is? And then I want you to keep writing and write different answers for each one of the following. It has to be completely different. Why does my family feel stuck in money? And just start writing things down. Just keep going. And it has to be a different answer for every single one. It can't repeat. Okay. But at one point in time, you're going to probably find one of those answers and it's going to kind of chill you to your bone. Like you might get goosebumps. You might all of a sudden go, oh, you know, something like that. It's going to be a bodily response that you feel. And it's going to be guttural. Okay. Because I've done this a few times, and every time I've done it, that answer has always surprised me. And you would be surprised at the answer that you get to. Another reason why your family might be stuck is because they just don't have the capacity to be able to hold that thing. Like, think of lottery winners. People who've never had a huge amount of money before all of a sudden have millions of dollars at their disposal, and some people just blow right through it. Did you ever think that it's maybe it's because they've never had the capacity to be able to hold that within themselves, that there is something within themselves inherently that they cannot hold money? And that is also another reason why you kind of want to do this belief check. Because if your family can't hold money, how do you expect you to hold money? This is something that I'm learning myself right now. And what I'm having to do, and this is going to be a completely another episode entirely, is taking past tense neural conditioning in order to reverse that. It changes your mind and realizes if you pretend like you did something in your past, even though you haven't really done it, your brain doesn't know the difference. So it thinks that you've actually has done this thing, but you haven't. But it does actually work. So look up past tense neural conditioning, but I will be doing an episode on that on a later date. Okay. Let's continue on with our questions, though. If

Siblings Sex Traditions And Ideals

SPEAKER_00 9:47

you had siblings, how did they treat you? How did you treat them? How did you treat each other? Because this is kind of one of the influences of how you treat your friendships and your relationships. So this is a good thing to kind of analyze. If you want stronger relationships with friends, take a look at that and see if maybe there was a pattern there that you can kind of help yourself get to a point where you can achieve better friendships. Just a thought. Let's go to our next question. What did you learn about romantic relationships as well as sex? Now, this one is really more for school, friends, work, society, and religion. So write down your answers on that one. Because that is how you interact sometimes with your significant other. So in analyzing that, you can start seeing some of your faults of, ooh, maybe I need to rethink that. Because that is something that I realized when I was doing this. And it was hella helpful. Okay. So take a look at that. Now we're going to go on to our next question, okay? Are there any family customs or traditions that were significant in your life that you grew up with? Are there certain ones that you kept? Are there certain ones that you let go of? And why did you keep or let go of those? Were there standards of conduct during these customs or traditions in your family that you had to abide by? And how did those exactly make you feel? It's a good one to analyze because it kind of shows you your sense of authority and how you relate to that a little bit. It's kind of fascinating. The next question is what are your ideals? Okay. Now, ideals are basically like your principles, your standards, your values, if you will, you know, your moral perfectionism, kind of your standards of excellence, how to your guide to being a better human being. Okay. So write that down for what your family taught you, what religion taught you, what school taught you, what work taught you, and what society itself taught you. And which ones are you gonna keep? Because it's a lot. Let's go on to the next questions. Which ones do you agree with on those ideals? And which ones do you not agree with? And if you don't agree with something, by all means, get rid of it. Let it go. Okay. And if you like them, then keep them. They're part of your core of who you are. And that is a beautiful thing. Let's go on to the next question. There are any ideals that you had when a child that you conflict with now? Have you added any new ideals to your life that weren't from any of those? Because our ideals kind of change and grow and develop as we age. So that's also another good question to ask yourself, okay? All right, let's go on to the next one. Are there certain ideals that your family has that you don't necessarily agree with, but they still hold very firmly to? How are you bringing balance to that within your life? I'm just kind of curious if you have or you haven't. It's something that, you know, you need to think about because that does put tension within families. So if you do have an intense family situation, this might be one of the reasons why you have that. So write it down. And let's continue. What family relationships or interactions do you have that really fill you up? I mean, like it just makes you feel so joyful and just really elates you as a person. What are some of those? Go ahead and write that down. And also write down what filled you up at school? What fills you up at work? What fills you up society-wise that you really love that just brings you joy? Write that down. All right, I'm going to go on to the next question. Are there any like foods or hobbies or pastimes, like new experiences that you have discovered later on in life that you didn't necessarily have growing up around your family or as a child? What are those? Write it all down. Because it's really fun to kind of see what you've developed for yourself. So do it.

Religion Rewards Punishments And Your Own

SPEAKER_00 15:17

This next series of questions is going to be based on religion and your religious beliefs. The first question is are you religious? And what religion did you grow up in? Write it down. Are you still practicing or are you not? Have you switched religions partway through your life? And if so, why? These are some good questions to ask. Now, the rest of these questions are really kind of more specific to your spiritual religious belief. So the first one is like what religious rewards or like punishments were explained to you? Like heaven or hell, dharma or karma? What do you believe in? Are there aspects of other religions that you came across outside of your family that really resonated with you? Or like you searched for or seemed like it was more of a better fit for you? Like, what were those? This next question is really fun and play with it, okay? Go with me on this one because it actually does kind of help you kind of figure out what your beliefs kind of are at your core a little bit. So it's a silly question, but I want you to invent your own religion. Like, what are your beliefs? What are your rituals? What ceremonies do you kind of include? What are your sins? What are your philosophies? You know, what's the good and bad of it? Because when you start writing this stuff down, it actually reflects back to you what you believe. So it's kind of a fun little question. And also, it takes a little time to do that one. So if you want to save that one for another day, that's fine. Okay. I'm going to keep on going though. So hit pause if you need to, okay? Now,

Place Culture And Worldview Imprints

SPEAKER_00 17:18

everybody in the entire world has lived in some other place, okay? So we're going to get specific to you right now. Where did you grow up? Where were you raised in the world as a child? Did you move around a lot? And if so, write down all those experiences. Write down the places that you lived. With where you grew up, really influences the culture that you create for yourself. So this is really kind of dealing a little bit more with societal and world beliefs, but more on a local individualized scale. So, what particular cultural beliefs where you lived were you raised with? What were the social structures? Who was in charge, essentially, in your family? How was like creativity cultivated? What kind of entertainment did you guys take part in? How did you manage resources? Were things scarce? Were things abundant? Because these things are how we deal with stuff now. So write it all down. I'm gonna go on to the next one, okay? What kind of cultural experiences do you really enjoy? Now, this can be from where you're at, but also from around the world, like what cultural experiences you've liked. Or if you've done a lot of traveling, you might have experienced more cultures than what most people have. So which ones do you really like? And this can be like culinary, history, heritage, like arts and performances, social emergence into the culture. What do you like about any of those? And which cultures do you really like? Did you like what you grew up in, or did you like some different cultures from around the world that you've seen? This kind of helps broaden your mind and your horizons into seeing how other people live. And it really helps get you to understand at your core other people who are different than you. Think about it.

What Fills Your Cup And Daily Rhythms

SPEAKER_00 19:51

So these questions here are really about more about what fills your cup up, what brings you joy. So, like, what social relationships and interactions do you really enjoy? What like lights you up inside? Write them all down. This next question has to do more with like your personal rituals and what you enjoy doing. Like, I love slow mornings, I like taking my time in the morning. So, what like rituals or rhythms throughout your day do you like to do? Write it all down. Gonna go on to the next one. What kind of personal environment do you enjoy? Like what type of living space do you like to be in? What lights you up in that way? And are you there now? This is one of the reasons why you want to ask some of these questions is are you doing that now for yourself? Are you in the environment that you really like? And if not, why are you not in the environment that you like? This is where questions like this start getting you curious about where you're at now and where you want to be or what you enjoy doing? So write it down. I'm gonna go on to the next one, okay? How do you like to manage your time? Like what structures do you use to do that? Do you enjoy it? Do you not? Could it be better? And if so, what do you think would be better? Write it down. I'm gonna go on. Are there like any mental activities that really like light you up and fill up your cup? For me, a mental activity is like doing art. I don't care if I'm making money at it, I just enjoy doing it for myself. What type of stuff like that do you like to do? Write it down. The next question is Are there any spiritual practices that you do that really like fill your cup up and just really bring you joy and light you up or bring you balance and bring you back to center? What are those for you? Do you do that daily? Okay, I'm gonna move on to the next one. But this is actually, honestly, the last question. Okay, what personal health habits and choices fill you up and you really truly love and enjoy? Just by asking yourself these simple questions can really just help you understand you more at your core of who you are and what you want to be in this world. And that is a powerful, powerful thing when you know the essence of you, and that can change the motherfucking world, dude. Like the world, your world specifically, because you're following you and following what lights you up inside, and that right there is a revolutionary act that I don't think the world is quite ready to hear or see or feel, but it starts with you, and just by asking yourself these questions, you are changing yourself, your life, and the world one person at a time because you're finally following your inner guidance, your inner thoughts and strength. I'm not joking. So let's change the motherfucking world, shall we? That's

Revolutionary Closing And Next Steps

SPEAKER_00 24:18

But like I said, this episode is gonna be kind of short, sweet, and to the point. But I have a lot kind of going on in my life right now, and that's okay. Because this helped me probably as much as it helped you, and that is something that I am eternally grateful for, and I hope that you are internally grateful for getting some knowledge and wisdom about you. All right, guys. Your auntie is signing off, and I love you all so much, and I'll see you next month, okay? So analyze your beliefs, figure out what you want to keep. I love you. Bye.
