#106 – Stop Rationalizing, Start Reframing

November 25, 2025

In this episode, I unpack a simple but powerful shift in thinking: moving from rationalizing to reframing.

We all rationalize our behavior and the behavior of others in an effort to make sense of life’s challenges. But what if we stopped explaining the past and started reshaping the future?

I share how understanding this shift has helped me see people and myself with more grace, approach challenges with clarity, and make better decisions moving forward. Growth is not about being perfect. It starts with becoming aware, understanding the “why” behind our reactions, reframing the story we are telling ourselves, and taking action from a higher place.

If you have ever felt stuck in old patterns or found yourself overanalyzing why something happened, this episode will help you move from reaction to growth.

Go live life on your terms,
Marcus
