In this video, Olly shares the story of a client who identified family as her core value, and genuinely meant it. But when they dug deeper, that story was quietly sabotaging her efforts to go to the gym, eat better and prioritise herself. It wasn't a lie — it was a protective story. And Olly sees it constantly with smart, motivated people who can't figure out why they keep getting in their own way. If you know what to do but still aren't doing it, this one might just be the missing piece. If you’re new to my channel, my name is Olly Wood.
