008 Stop Sabotaging Yourself: The Scared-to-Want Soldier


Listen Later

Why do you freeze when you want something more? Why do you hold back at work, in love, or with family — even when you know what you want?

It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of confidence. It’s your nervous system running an old mission.

In this episode, I introduce you to Recon: The Scared-to-Want Soldier. He’s one of 16 “soldiers” inside my Internal Command System™ — each designed to protect you, but running outdated orders that keep you small.

Here’s what you’ll learn today:

✅ The real root cause behind hesitation and self-sabotage

✅ How Recon was created (and why it made sense at the time)

✅ The everyday ways Recon shows up in your work, love, and family life

✅ A simple Stoplight Framework to interrupt him and issue new orders


This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on the biggest soldiers running your life.

👉 Next week: The Withholder (relationships).
