From the time we’re children, we absorb messages about who we should be, what success looks like, what makes us worthy, and how we’re supposed to live.

Some of those beliefs serve us well.
Others quietly influence our decisions without us ever stopping to question them.

Think about the choices you’ve made.
The relationships you’ve stayed in.
The opportunities you’ve turned down.
The dreams you’ve postponed.
The expectations you’ve worked so hard to meet.
How many of those decisions reflected what you truly wanted?

And how many were influenced by what you believed you were supposed to want?

The beautiful thing about beliefs is that we can question them.

And when we question them, we give ourselves permission to choose differently.

You don’t have to keep living by a belief simply because someone taught it to you.

What is one belief you’ve inherited that no longer serves the person you are today?

At 16, you have no idea how many versions of yourself you will meet throughout your life.

When I look at this photograph, taken shortly after we moved from Bogotá, Colombia, to Charlotte, North Carolina, I see a young woman who had no idea what life had in store for her.

The places she would live. The people she would love. The challenges she would face. The dreams she would pursue. The beliefs she would have to undo to become the woman of her dreams.

But there’s something I recognize in her eyes.

Curiosity.

A desire to discover what else life had to offer.

And almost 46 years later, that curiosity is still very much alive in me.

I’ve changed my beliefs, my circumstances, my dreams, and even how I see myself.

But I haven’t lost my curiosity about life or the possibilities still ahead.

And I hope I never do.

Because I am still becoming the woman of my dreams.

What would change in your life today if you questioned everything you were taught to believe about yourself?

Think about it.

What if you questioned the belief that you have to please everyone?
That success looks a certain way?
That putting yourself first is selfish?
That your worth depends on what you accomplish, how you look, or whether someone loves you?

What if some of the beliefs guiding your decisions today were never true for you?

You might discover that you have more choices than you thought.

That you can say no without feeling guilty.
That you can pursue a dream you’ve been putting off.

That you can stop trying to become someone you’re not.

You don’t have to believe something simply because you’ve believed it all your life.

So, again, what would change in your life today if you questioned everything you were taught to believe about yourself?

What if one of the beliefs guiding your life isn’t actually true for you?

We all carry beliefs shaped by our families, cultures, religions, relationships, and experiences. Some serve us well. Others may be keeping us from living the lives we desire.

Challenging your beliefs is about getting curious.

Here’s how you can begin:
* Pay attention. Notice when you tell yourself, “I can’t,” “I should,” “I have to,” or “That’s just the way things are.”
* Get curious. Ask yourself: Where did this belief come from? Who taught it to me?
* Question it. Is this actually true? Or is it something I’ve accepted without questioning?
* Consider the cost. How has this belief influenced my choices? What possibilities might I be overlooking?
* Choose differently. What could I believe instead? What might become possible if I did?

You don’t have to challenge every belief overnight. Start with one.

When you challenge what you believe, you open yourself to new possibilities, new choices, and a life that reflects who you truly are.

I’ll continue sharing stories, practical examples, and encouragement through THE C.R.E.A.T.E. FRAMEWORK™.

Follow along as we explore what it means to become the woman of your dreams, one belief and one choice at a time.

What’s one belief you’re ready to question?

What if becoming who you truly are isn’t about fixing yourself, but questioning what you’ve been taught to believe about yourself?

What if you gave yourself permission to examine the beliefs you inherited, revisit the stories that shaped you, listen to your intuition, and make choices that reflect who you want to be?

That’s what THE C.R.E.A.T.E. FRAMEWORK™ invites you to do.

And it isn’t a process you complete once and check off a list.
It’s an ongoing practice.

Because new experiences will challenge you.
Old beliefs may resurface. Your intuition will speak.
And you will continually have opportunities to decide:
Does this still belong to me?

Over the next several posts, I’ll walk you through each of the six steps and give you questions and tools you can use to explore them in your own life.

Not so you can become my idea—or anyone else’s idea—of the woman you should be.

But so you can discover what becoming the woman of your dreams means to you.

Because becoming her isn’t a destination.
It’s a daily journey.

Meet Marcela Gómez @iammarcelagomez, one of our board members helping shape the work and vision of the Institute for History and Healing.

For Marcela, every place she visits offers a new perspective, a different way of seeing the world, and an opportunity to learn from the stories that make each place unique. These experiences also inform the perspective she brings to her work with the Institute.

Because places are more than locations on a map. They hold memories, shape our experiences, and influence how we understand the world around us.

We’d love to hear from you: What does a place mean to you? Is there a place that has changed your perspective or stayed with you long after you left?

Tell us in the comments.

What happens when you stop waiting for a romantic relationship to start living the life you want?

You discover how much life is already available to you.

These seven things weren’t part of some grand plan. They were choices I made along the way as I began building the most important relationship in my life: the one with myself.

Some were small, like going to the movies alone.
Others were life-changing, like moving to New York City, traveling the world as a nomad, and writing my first book.

Each experience helped me discover something about myself, challenge a belief, and become more comfortable in my own company.

I didn’t have to wait for someone to share my dreams with before I could begin living them.

That’s one of the lessons behind T — Transform Through Action in THE C.R.E.A.T.E. FRAMEWORK™.

You don’t have to make a dramatic change to begin.
You can start with one experience, one decision, one intentional action.

What’s something you’ve wanted to do but have been waiting for someone else to do it with you?
