In this episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, May Bagnell dives into the silent struggles so many of us carry: difficulty focusing, knowing what to do but not doing it, and feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns.
She unpacks the real reasons behind these blocks—spoiler: it’s not laziness—and shares compassionate, brain-based strategies to help you get back into alignment with your goals and values. If you’ve been hard on yourself for not following through, this episode is a gentle reset.
It’s not about pushing harder—it’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, calming your nervous system, and creating real momentum from a place of self-awareness and care.
What You'll Take Away:
- A 3-minute nervous system reset you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed
- Why forcing focus rarely works—and what helps instead
- How to shift from “I need more discipline” to “I need deeper alignment”
- The surprising root of self-sabotage (and why it's not your fault)
- Small but powerful mindset shifts to move forward without burnout
