The Real Reason You Won’t Let Yourself Change #88

You’ve tried to change before. You’ve made plans, set goals, promised yourself this time would be different.And yet, you keep ending up back in the same place.In this episode, Marina is joined by Shauna from Smaointe Therapy to go deeper into the patterns that sit underneath that cycle. This is not a conversation about calories, motivation, or finding the perfect plan. It’s about the behaviours, reactions, and learned patterns that quietly shape your decisions every single day.They explore why people struggle to follow through even when they know what to do, how people pleasing and lack of boundaries leave no space for change, and how a victim mindset can keep you stuck without you even realising it. The conversation also moves into self-image, the emotional relationship with food, and the tension around tools like tracking, looking at when they help and when they are avoided.Most importantly, they break down why waiting to feel ready keeps you in the same loop, and what actually shifts when you stop relying on motivation and start showing up differently.If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your lack of consistency, questioned why you keep starting over, or felt like something deeper is holding you back, this episode will make that clearer.You can find Shauna on instagram https://www.instagram.com/smaointe_therapy/You can also find my instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/coachmarinahardiman/Please do let me know your thoughts and any future topics you would like!
