How You Get Stuck (S13E5)
In this episode, we explore the common struggle of feeling stuck. There's good news, though: it's not your fault, as your brain naturally prefers safety over change.
Today, we unpack how predictive processing leads us to rely on past experiences, which can trap us in outdated narratives. By examining four key neuroscientific concepts behind these patterns, you'll learn how your brain's wiring influences self-defeating cycles without implying moral failure.
I teach you a five-step framework to help you regain control over your narratives, promoting a shift from a fixed mindset to one of growth.
Are you ready to overcome being stuck and embrace transformation? Let's get after it!
