#67 - Science of Self-Belief: How to Rew...

Cody McBroom
About this episode

What separates those who believe they can from those who always second-guess themselves? It’s not talent—it’s self-belief, and it’s trainable.

In this third part of The Science of Self-Transformation, Cody McBroom dives deep into the neuroscience of self-belief—revealing how your brain rewires based on action, feedback, and mindset.


Drawing from cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology, you’ll learn:

  • 📌How self-affirmation rewires reward pathways and strengthens your ability to follow through
    📌 Why positive feedback changes your brain’s circuitry and boosts self-efficacy
    📌 The difference between high vs. low belief brain strategies—and how belief leads to smarter, more efficient performance
    📌 Why self-belief is context-specific, but transferable through the right structure
    📌 What successful people do daily to build and reinforce unshakable self-confidence


  • You’ll walk away with science-backed strategies to:

  • 📌Reflect on your values to build neural trust in yourself

  • 📌 Use feedback loops to reprogram self-doubt

  • 📌 Transfer mastery from one domain (fitness, business, relationships) into others
    📌 Practice pre-challenge self-affirmation to prime your mindset for high-stakes situations

  • If you’re ready to stop letting doubt dictate your potential and start training your brain for real confidence, this episode is your roadmap.

    • Sherman et al. (2016), “Self-affirmation activates brain systems associated with self-related valuation”

    • Kosinski et al. (2022), “A corticostriatal pathway mediating self-efficacy enhancement”
