Feelings...and Other Inconveniences

16. Why Don't I Do What I Say I'll Do?!


Listen Later

In this episode, Stefanie Michele and Sarah Dosanjh dig into a familiar problem: why we don't do the things we know help us.

Using real-life examples (walks, movement, scheduling, tiny "extra steps" that somehow feel huge), they unpack how mental load, environment cues, and internal parts create resistance.

They explore the difference between shame-driven self-talk and real self-compassion, how validating resistance can loosen it, and when "understanding why" is the turning point.

Expect practical takeaways, parts-work insight, and a refreshingly human conversation about motivation, inertia, and follow-through.
