Sad to Savage

Ever feel like you want your goals but keep drifting off track? In this episode, we’re breaking down why getting sidetracked isn’t a character flaw — it’s a brain pattern. I’m sharing the psychology behind distraction, overwhelm, emotional derailment, and perfectionism, plus the exact mindset shifts and simple habits that help you refocus, rebuild momentum, and actually follow through. If you’re tired of starting strong and falling off, this episode will help you move from scattered to steady and from sidetracked to success.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to go from settling to standards — in your relationships, your self-worth, and the way you show up for your life. We’re diving into the psychology and brain science behind why people settle, how your brain actually rewires itself to expect less, and the powerful shifts that happen when you start raising your standards. You’ll learn:• Why your brain clings to situations that aren’t good for you (loss aversion)• How cognitive dissonance lowers your standards without you realizing it• How repeatedly tolerating less rewires your neural pathways• The science of standards and how they activate your confidence, clarity, and self-worth• How raising your standards calms your nervous system and helps you feel emotionally grounded Then, we’ll build this into action with three simple habits you can use to move from settling to self-value: The Micro Non-Negotiable Habit — one tiny act of self-respect each day The Bare Minimum Audit — a 30-second reflection to catch misalignment The Standards Rehearsal — practicing boundaries out loud so they feel natural And at the end, I share a personal story about how these exact habits changed my life during a past relationship — and why they’ll change yours too. If you’ve ever accepted less than you needed, questioned your worth, or struggled to speak up… this episode is going to shift something big for you.

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck: the cycle of going all-in, burning out, quitting, and starting over. If you’ve ever tried to change your entire life in one day… only to fall off by day three, this episode is going to change everything for you. You’ll learn why your brain loves big bursts of motivation but struggles with actual consistency, how sporadic actions are often hidden signals of a deeper need, and the science behind why small, steady habits are the only path to real transformation. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand what your sporadic behavior is trying to tell you, how to uncover the steady behavior you truly want, and how to build tiny daily habits that finally stick. This is the episode that will help you stop restarting your life… and start rebuilding it. If you want this episodes worksheet, get it here: WORKSHEET Watch this episode here!

Sometimes the most savage thing you can do… is pause. I’m hitting pause on Season 3 of the Sad to Savage podcast—not because I’m done, but because I need to make space for the next chapter of my life. Between planning two weddings, running two businesses, building life-changing products, and preparing to start a family… I knew I needed to take a small step back.  This episode is about more than just me. It’s about giving you permission to pause. To step back from the habits, routines, or relationships that are no longer serving your future—and use that time to plant the seeds for the life you really want. Hard decisions are often the most powerful ones. And you can always come back. 🤍 Sign up to be notified for: The Sad to Savge 6-week Habit, Strength, Pilates and Nutrition Program  The Sad to Savage Course      Learn more about your ad choices.
