EPISODE #8: Breaking the Cycle: Why It’s So Easy to Go Back—Even When You Know Better

Listen Later

You’ve healed. You’ve journaled. You’ve done the inner work.

So why does it still feel like you’re circling the same mountain?

In this episode, we’re talking about why your patterns keep repeating, even when you know better.

Because growth alone doesn’t break the cycle—structure does.

We’ll dive into:

  • The real reason you default to old habits (even when you’ve outgrown them)
  • How your nervous system, beliefs, and emotional memory keep pulling you back
  • What your schedule, space, and daily choices say about who you believe you are
  • The role of structure, identity, and support in rewiring your patterns—for good

    • And I’m sharing a personal story that opened my eyes to the subtle ways I was still living from my old self…

    Even after I had claimed my freedom.

    This is the episode that will connect your healing to your habits—so you can stop just surviving transformation and actually start living it.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Healing without structure is a setup for relapse
    • Awareness won’t override a system built to survive your past
    • You don’t need more effort—you need more access: to God, to your truth, to strategy that supports your evolution
    • You can’t build your future from habits that belong to your past
      • Mentioned in this Episode:
      • Bob Proctor: “The subconscious doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined—it only knows what’s repeated.”
      • Maxwell Maltz: “You cannot consistently perform in a way that’s inconsistent with how you see yourself.”
        • Weekly Affirmation:

        'I break every cycle that no longer serves me. I am not just healed—I am rewired. I am creating something new.'
