You're not avoiding the scale. You're not avoiding the bank statement. You're not avoiding the hard conversation or the overflowing inbox.
You're avoiding how you think you'll feel when you see it.
But here's the truth: You already feel that way.
You already feel heavy. You already feel ashamed. You already feel anxious and behind and overwhelmed.
Avoidance doesn't protect you — it prolongs your suffering. It doesn't delay the pain — it drains you slowly while convincing you that you're safe.
In this episode, we're unpacking:
Why avoidance feels like safety but functions like a trap
What you're really running from (hint: it's not the number)
Why facing it now is easier than carrying it another day
And how to start moving forward — even if you're scared
This is the wake-up call for anyone avoiding the thing they know they need to face. The number. The truth. The next step.
If you're ready to stop circling the truth and start standing in it — this one's for you.
