Ep. 40 What keeps us stuck in the same emotional patterns—no matter how much personal growth work you do? In this episode of Grace & Grind, I’m talking about self-awareness, emotional loops, and the science behind why patterns feel so hard to break. I introduce you to neuroplasticity—the scientific term that explains how repeated thoughts and emotional reactions create well-worn mental pathways, including the negative loops that keep us stuck
Once you realize your brain is doing exactly what it’s been trained to do, you can stop blaming yourself—and start retraining your responses with intention.
