Episode Synopsis

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m never going back there again,” only to find yourself right back in the same patterns — this one’s for you.In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the real reason you keep circling back to the places, people, or habits you swore you’d outgrown. Spoiler: it’s not because you’re weak, unworthy, or unmotivated.You’ll learn:Why having the resources, willpower, or knowledge isn’t enough to create lasting changeHow your nervous system’s comfort with chaos can pull you back into the familiarWhy your “why” might not be fully formed yet — and how that affects your follow-throughWhat it looks like to move from awareness → belief → embodiment so you can finally break your cycles for goodI share my own story of binge eating — how even with all the tools and information, I found myself in the same spiral until I learned how to calm my nervous system, build clarity, and create safety in balance.Whether your “thing” is food, relationships, or just self-sabotage in disguise, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface — and what it takes to finally step into lasting change.Key Takeaways:It’s not that you can’t. You already have the strength, resources, and worthiness.It’s that you’re not yet rooted in your why. Without a solid why, your brain treats change like a temporary experiment instead of a permanent shift.You’re rushing the process. Like the blindfolded kid at the piñata, you’re reaching in every direction instead of taking one intentional step at a time.Your nervous system resists the unfamiliar. Familiar doesn’t mean safe — but it feels that way until you rewire it.Mentioned in this episode:My personal experience with emotional eating and the nervous systemThe Emotion Code — a tool I use to release trapped emotions that keep us stuckMy program Break the Cycle — a guided process to help you move from awareness to embodiment so you can finally live in alignment with who you’re meant to beConnect:✨ Take the quiz to discover what’s keeping you stuck✨ Access Break the Cycle✨ Follow me on Instagram @whollybyanna
