Before You Plan 2026: 3 Invisible Patterns That Quietly Sabotage High Achievers

You’ve got the fresh notebook, the big goals, the “this is my year” energy…
But if you’re honest, there’s also a familiar knot in your stomach.

Because you’ve done this before.

You’ve mapped the launches, the revenue, the habits, and still found yourself back in the same loop by March: overbooked, under-nourished, and wondering, “Why am I here again?”

In this episode of The Aligned Advantage Minutes™, Felecia pulls back the curtain on 3 invisible patterns that quietly sabotage high achievers, no matter how strong their plan is:

• The Productivity Prover – when your calendar becomes your proof that you’re “enough.”
• The Future Overthinker – when endless analysis feels safer than starting.
• The Peacekeeper Achiever – when keeping everyone else okay costs you yourself.

You’ll learn:

• Why overwhelm and self-sabotage are nervous system patterns, not personal failures
• How your brain is trying to keep you safe… even as it stalls your execution
• A simple reflection to spot which pattern has been running your year
• The first shift to make before you write another 12-month strategy

If you’ve ever looked at your goals and thought, “I know better than this… so why am I still here?” this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.
