113. Why You Can't Stop Doing the Thing You Hate

If you keep self-sabotaging.....overeating, overdrinking, scrolling, spending, procrastinating, checking out, or falling into a behavior you swore you wouldn't do again, this episode is for you.We spend so much time trying to stop the behavior that we rarely ask the more important question: What is this doing for me?In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience with compulsive behavior and what I've learned about the protection underneath it. We'll talk about why taking away the behavior doesn't automatically take away what's driving it, the shame cycle that keeps us stuck, and the deeper fear that can live underneath our need to escape, numb, control, or find relief.I'm also giving you five questions to help you get curious about your own compulsive behaviors instead of using them as evidence that there's something wrong with you.Because the behavior isn't who you are.And beating the shit out of yourself for doing it isn't how you change it.And if you want to hear what this actually looks like in real life, come join me for Round 3 of The Power Project.For 30 days, I'm taking you with me through how I actually think, feel, decide + lead myself through my real life—the urges to overeat, the hard days, the moments I don't show up the way I want to, the failures, the spirals, AND the days I'm feeling powerful, creating, selling, making money and going after what I want.You'll hear how I interrupt the patterns in real time, how I talk to myself when things feel hard, and how I access the version of myself I want to be instead of abandoning myself when I'm struggling.We start September 1. It's $49 for all 30 days, and you'll also get access to the previous two rounds of Power Project audios + my masterclass library.
