from The UNFILTERED Empowered Woman Podcast · host Elin Granstrand
Why do you keep ending up with the exact thing you’re trying to avoid?In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the Black Coffee Theory — a simple analogy that explains why self-sabotage, binge cycles, and “starting over” keep repeating… even when you’re motivated and self-aware.If you’re constantly thinking:• “I don’t want to binge”• “I don’t want to mess this up”• “I don’t want to start over again”Your brain may be locking onto the problem instead of moving you toward the solution.In this episode, we talk about:✨ why avoidance-based goals backfire✨ how the brain actually filters information✨ why this isn’t a willpower issue✨ and how to start clearly choosing what you do wantThis one is about clarity, not positivity.And once you hear it, you’ll never phrase your goals the same way again ☕️🎧 Listen now.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.Book in a free call with me Rewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!
