1352: When Trying Doesn’t Work: The Real Reason You Stay Stuck
Manage episode 513334302 series 89543
You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. But you might be stuck in a loop of trying the same things over and over — even when they’ve never worked.
In this episode, I’m diving deep into learned helplessness: why you feel like nothing works, how your brain tricks you into repeating the past, and what you can do to finally break free.
We’ll unpack:
Why recycling effort isn’t the same as solving the problem
How you’ve been overemphasizing options and underemphasizing choice
The trap of only considering what you’ve already tried
The epidemic of passive consumption (and why it’s costing you your ability to think)
This is a wake-up call and a relief — because once you see the loop, you can step out of it.
💥 Ready to break the cycle and rebuild from a place of strength?The 8-week DEFENSE program is where we change your operating system — so you stop defaulting to what’s familiar and start acting from clarity, strength, and self-trust.
