Just because you’re aware of your toxic patterns doesn’t mean your life is magically going to change. Awareness is only the first step — the flashlight that shows you the problem. The real transformation happens when you choose to do the hard, opposite action that breaks the cycle.
In this episode, I open up about my own struggles over the past few months — how my default under stress is to isolate, withdraw, and detach, even though I know better. I’ll walk you through the different ways people cope under pressure — from isolation and overdrive to numbing and anger — and break down how to actually interrupt those cycles in real time.
We’ll talk about:
Why awareness alone won’t change your life
The sneaky ways people detach or disassociate when stressed
Practical, opposite actions you can take to break your old patterns
Why your future self is built on today’s choices, not your intentions
My own commitment to showing up even when I don’t feel like it
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I know what I need to do, but I just can’t make myself do it,” this episode is for you.
