Podcast Overview

What if the voice in your head has been lying to you? Not in an obvious way, but in quiet whispers — the kind that keep you stuck in pain, shame, and stories that no longer serve you. Welcome to Question Yourself — the podcast for those brave enough to challenge their own minds. Whoever you are, wherever you're at — healing from the past, craving clarity, or desperate to feel free — this is your invitation to stop surviving and start transforming. Every week, Diane Leja and Bethany Meloche guide you through the radical practice of self-inquiry. On their own journeys of discovery, they've found something powerful: when you question your thoughts, you change your life. They're not here to give you answers. They're here to help you find your own. Through ancient wisdom and modern tools — from Byron Katie's The Work to Option Process dialogues and mindfulness — you'll learn to dismantle the beliefs that keep you suffering and uncover the truth that sets you free. This isn't self-help. It's self-liberation. You're not broken. You're not alone. And you're not too late. So if you're ready to start asking the right questions and finally come home to yourself — then let's go.
