Why Change Feels Impossible, Even When You Know It's Not Working

⁠⁠We've all heard the advice: just start, make the change, take the leap. But if it were that simple, none of us would be stuck. In this episode, we're going deeper into what actually keeps us from making the changes we know we need to make, and why it's not a personal failing. It's something way more layered than that, so let's get into it! Here's what we're exploring: Why burnout isn't just about overwork, and how misalignment is often the more persistent culprit The identity trap that keeps us holding on to things we've outgrown, even when they're no longer lighting us up How the "competence trap" turns not quitting into a measure of our worth Why our nervous system always knows before our brain catches up, and what it's trying to tell us The difference between a failure and simply outgrowing something Rewilding audit https://smeenymadewild.myflodesk.com/rewildingauditEcuador retreat: https://trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/ecuador/ecuador-with-chereen-leong-schwarz-oct-2026 Connect with Chereen: ⁠⁠https://smeenymadewild.com/⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@smeenymadewild⁠
