Reflection Question:Where in your life are you avoiding discomfort — and how is it costing you your strength?
If you’re tired of wanting change… but constantly avoiding the very actions that would create it — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
Today, we explore the real reason self-sabotage happens:
🧠 You are not one identity.
You are a team of internal Parts — and not all of them agree with your goals.
One part wants to grow.
One part wants to stay safe.
And the conflict between them shows up as procrastination, fear, and emotional resistance.
In this episode you’ll learn:
• Why the brain chooses familiarity over success
• What procrastination is secretly protecting you from
• How to stop fighting yourself and start leading yourself
• A powerful daily practice to align your inner system with your future identity
The moment every part of you feels safe with success —
your transformation becomes unstoppable.
