Repeating negative patterns: Why do we keep doing what doesn't serve us?

In this episode, we tackle the challenging topic of repeating cyclic negative patterns. Our guest, Tania, a trauma nurse and mother, bravely shares her story of personal growth and the lingering effects of past traumas. Despite her successes, Tania finds herself stuck in a recurring cycle—choosing relationships that fail to meet her desires, reflecting a younger version of herself repeating old habits. Together, we uncover the roots of these patterns, explore why they're so hard to break, and discuss actionable steps to rewrite them. Why do we stay stuck in cycles that no longer serve us? What can we do to move forward? Tune in for a conversation full of insight, empathy, and tools for change. If you've ever wondered why people do the things they do—especially when it seems to defy logic—this is the podcast for you.
