In this first episode of the new year, I’m naming the real reason so many women—especially high-achieving, overwhelmed moms—set goals every January but still end up quickly reverting back to old patterns. Even when you want change. Even when you know what to do. Even when you’re deeply dissatisfied with where you are. It all comes down to your nervous system and the subconscious beliefs that your brain relies on to keep you safe.
I also offer a series of alternative perspectives on the classic excuses women use as justifications for why investing in the tools and support that will help you change isn’t possible for them. This episode is confronting, but in the most kind and loving way.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- How EVERY goal triggers stress because change requires time, energy, risk, and often money
- Why your brain defaults to its normal patterns and, worse, relies on unhealthy coping mechanisms to soothe the discomfort of your failed attempts to change
- How nervous system work isn’t fluff; it’s THE missing link between desire and action. (Spoiler alert: Mindset work will never be enough!)
- Why you can’t expect new results until you become someone who has the neurological capacity to overcome your limiting beliefs
- Why investing in support often feels impossible, unnecessary, unsafe (but is the KEY to transformation because you can’t outthink your own brain by yourself)
