Why does moving forward feel so hard - even when you know you’re ready?

You’re capable. You’ve proven yourself before. You have ideas, plans, and ambition.
And yet, when it’s time to move, something inside you slows down.

This episode with Dr Amen Kaur explores why that hesitation isn’t a mindset issue or lack of discipline - and why progress can start to feel risky even after past success.

We unpack how the nervous system learns from experience, not intention. When growth has historically been followed by cost - increased demand, loss of safety, burnout, judgment, or control,  the body begins to associate success with threat.

That conditioning doesn’t show up as fear of failure.
 It shows up as hesitation before action.

This conversation explains:

  • Why willpower often backfires when the body expects loss
  • How anxiety and avoidance can be protective, not resistant
  • Why success isn’t neutral to the nervous system
  • And how safety, not pressure, is what allows movement to return

If you’ve ever felt capable but stalled… ready but tense… motivated yet unable to move cleanly,  this episode will help you understand what your system is responding to, and why.

No fixing.
No forcing.
Just clarity about what’s actually happening beneath the surface.
