A lot of people feel they understand what’s going on for them… but are frustrated that still nothing actually changes.

In this episode, I explore why insight on its own often isn’t enough, especially when the nervous system is already overwhelmed, shut down, or under strain.

January can intensify this pattern. Fatigue, illness, social pressure, comparison, grief, financial stress, and lack of light all place extra demands on the system. At the very moment we’re most depleted, we’re encouraged to push harder, get disciplined, and overhaul our lives.

That approach often backfires.

In this podcast, I talk about:

• why struggling to change isn’t a willpower or motivation problem
• how overthinking can increase shutdown rather than create movement
• why procrastination is often overwhelm, not avoidance
• and what actually helps changes begin to take hold

I also guide a couple of short self-reflection pauses, not to “fix” anything, but to shift attention out of analysis and into awareness.

If change feels hard right now, this episode offers a different way of understanding what’s happening. One that’s kinder, more realistic, and more effective.
