Stop Settling For Crumbs: Why Your "Toughness" Is Choking You


Listen Later

Stop settling and starving on the "crumbs" of life. If you feel like your "armour" is starting to choke you, this unfiltered deep dive into NLP, childhood trauma, and redefined resilience will show you exactly how to claim the "full cake".


In this episode, Andy Casey (The Illimitable Coach) sits down with Mouna Laaragat, founder of The Grit Makers, to cut through the BS of toxic positivity. We explore why many high-achievers are actually living in "survival mode" and how to use specific gratitude to ground yourself when everything goes to shit.


This episode covers 5 key shifts to stop settling:


Why "toughening up" is often just a trauma response.


How to identify if you are starving on crumbs of affection.


The "October Strategy" for hitting your goals before the New Year.


Using specific gratitude to stop "catastrophising".


How to deconstruct mental conditioning to build healthy foundations.
