Why is it that we can want to change, even know what to do, but still fall back into the same old patterns? 

This episode explores that frustrating loop through the lens of neuroscience, identity, and emotional safety.

You’ll learn why habits don’t always stick (even when your intentions are solid), how self-sabotage might actually be trying to protect you, and what’s happening in your brain when you feel stuck. 

We also look at the quieter roles of shame, identity shifts, and nervous system regulation in keeping us caught in loops we’re desperate to outgrow.

It’s not about willpower, it’s about wiring. 

And once you understand that, you can change the story.
