When you want to change so badly and somehow still can't

For years I was convinced I simply wasn't disciplined enough. That I didn't want it enough. That I had no willpower. Today I know that that was never the problem. In this week's episode I'm sharing something deeply personal: the health condition I spent most of my life hiding, how I ignored it until I physically couldn't walk anymore, and what I've since learned about why we avoid the things we most want to change. We go into cognitive dissonance and the incredibly creative ways our brain justifies anything, defensive avoidance and why the motivation to change never seems to last, why pressure and being hard on yourself makes it worse rather than better, and what actually helped me break the cycle. If there's something in your life you want to change SO badly and somehow still can't, this one is for you 🤍
