EP35 - Why You Always Slip Back Into Old Habits (Even When You Start Strong)


Listen Later

In this episode, I explore why so many people start the year with clarity, motivation, and good intentions — only to find themselves slipping back into old habits a few weeks later.

This isn’t a lack of willpower or discipline. It’s the familiar self coming back online.

I break down how familiar emotions, feelings, thoughts, and habits quietly take over, why the brain defaults to what feels safe and known, and how survival mode shows up as procrastination, inconsistency, and self-doubt. We talk about awareness over motivation, changing your state instead of forcing yourself, and how small daily decisions help you practise the version of yourself you actually want to become.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re battling yourself, repeating the same patterns, or struggling to stay aligned with your intentions — this episode will resonate.
