Summary
Welcome to a new chapter of Look for the Good! I'm thrilled to welcome our new KMET Radio listeners across Southern California while continuing to connect with our dedicated podcast listeners wherever you enjoy your favorite podcasts. Why do we naturally notice what's wrong before we see what's right? It's not because something is wrong with you—it's because your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. In this episode, Carrie Rowan kicks off her July Confidence Series by exploring the brain's negativity bias and how the stories we tell ourselves become the lens through which we see ourselves and the world. Understanding why your mind works this way is the first step toward building genuine confidence. Carrie also shares the story behind her "vitamin cards"—a simple morning ritual that didn't change her circumstances, but changed what her mind was prepared to notice. In this episode you'll discover: Why your brain naturally looks for problems before possibilities. How the stories you repeat become the evidence your brain searches for. How reading a few simple "vitamin cards" each morning primed Carrie's brain to focus on the person she wanted to become instead of the problems she faced. This episode lays the foundation for our July Confidence Series, where we'll challenge the three biggest misconceptions about confidence—and discover what it really takes to build it. Don't miss our July 31 episode, when leadership expert Dr. Cherie Comeau joins Carrie to connect the dots from this month's Confidence Series and share one of the most powerful confidence-building frameworks Carrie has ever encountered. "Learn to look for the good, and watch the good start to find you!"
