		<title>How to Stop Suffering About a Story that's Not True About You</title>
		<link>https://iono.qa/e/1687938</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.qa/e/1687938</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The Future self podcast hosted by Mark Csabai has a look at the suffering we experience when we believe a particular story about ourselves.<br />
Whether you believe it or not, you have a map of who you are. The problem is, what if the map is wrong?<br />
In this episode, we explore what happens when life doesn't always pan out the way we expected, and why the anxiety you feel in those moments is a sign that your map needs updating.<br />
Your beliefs about yourself aren't facts. They're representations that have been unconsciously embedded. The good news is these representations can be changed or re-encoded.<br />
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by a version of themselves that no longer fits their ideal self. ]]></description>

		<title>How to Feel Your Feelings Without Being Controlled by Them</title>
		<link>https://iono.qa/e/1686424</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.qa/e/1686424</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[You've heard all too often, stay positive, just keep pushing through, and, keep it together. However, I believe much of what we've learned about handling difficult emotions may actually keep you stuck.<br />
In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful shifts you can make, and that is, being able to feel your emotions without being swept away by them. It's not about suppressing what hurts, but simply finding the space for reflection. Your feelings aren't good or bad, they aren't the enemy. They never were. They're simply moments of information. And once you learn to listen to them differently, everything changes.<br />
This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their own inner world — and wondered if it was always going to be this way.<br />
It isn't. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.qa/e/1683347</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is developing your future self so difficult, even when you genuinely want to change? Even when you know what to do and when the cost of staying the same is obvious?<br />
<br />
Okay, so you've made the decision. You're motivated. Maybe you've even started. And then somewhere along the line it all falls apart. Again. <br />
The hardest part isn't starting over. It's that quiet inner voice that asks: what's wrong with me?<br />
<br />
There's nothing wrong with you. Something very specific is happening in your brain, and once you understand it, everything changes. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve ever felt like you're stagnating, unmotivated, overwhelmed, or frustrated because you’re waiting to “feel ready” before taking action, this episode is for you.<br />
<br />
Today, we’re uncovering a common misleading idea about personal growth: and that is, that you need to feel motivated before taking action. The truth? Your future self is not built through feelings, it’s built through evidence.<br />
<br />
In this episode, you’ll learn why action creates identity, why motivation follows movement, and how tiny daily decisions can begin rewiring the way you see yourself, starting today. ]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.qa/e/1678973</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.qa/e/1678973</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[If you feel frustrated and stuck between who you are and who you know you could be. Then The Future Self Podcast is for you. This podcast is about identity shift, self-concept transformation, mindset coaching, and personal growth—because lasting change doesn’t happen by trying harder; it happens when you become someone different.<br />
<br />
Hosted by mindset coach Mark Csabai, each episode explores practical ways to rewire limiting beliefs, transform your self-image, overcome self-doubt, and align with your future self. <br />
<br />
Through grounded insights, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), subconscious reprogramming, identity change, and transformational coaching, you’ll learn how to stop fighting yourself and start living from the version of you that already exists within.<br />
<br />
No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just practical tools to help you shift your mindset, upgrade your identity, and create meaningful, lasting transformation.<br />
<br />
Ask yourself: Who do I need to become to create and live the life I truly want? ]]></description>
