210. Beyond Awareness: Closing the Gap Between Knowing & Doing

You know what’s wrong — so why hasn’t anything changed?

Why do you keep thinking, “I’m so aware of this… shouldn’t that be enough by now?”

You’ve named the pattern a hundred times. Burnout. Overwhelm. Autopilot. You’ve tried fixing it (therapy, routines, tools, discipline) and somehow you still end up right back here. Knowing isn’t the problem anymore. It’s the part that comes after.

In this episode, we sit in that frustrating gap between awareness and actual change. Not to judge it or rush past it — but to understand what’s really keeping you stuck. This is about loosening the anchor underneath the pattern, not adding another thing to your to-do list.

You’ll be guided to reflect on:

1. Why insight alone hasn’t created the shift you expected
2. The hidden belief that keeps stress and busyness feeling “safer”
3. How solutions can fail when the root is left untouched
4. What it looks like to go beyond awareness and into real change

By the end, you won’t feel like you need to try harder or do more. You’ll feel steadier, clearer, and less at war with yourself — with a new way to approach change that actually sticks.
