from The Free Advantage · host Heather Davis

Freedom rarely slips away in one dramatic moment; it leaks through a thousand small choices we justify as normal. This week, we get honest about why so many of us circle back to the very patterns that drain us, even when we know better. Through Ana’s story and the familiar ache of leaving and returning, we unpack the quiet force steering those choices: self-worth.Heather shares why we return to what hurts, how conditional worth keeps us stuck, and why insight alone doesn’t change behavior.
