Why You Self-Sabotage When Things Are Going Well - And How to Stop

You know when you’ve had a good stretch? You feel like you’re making progress. Things are quieter around food. You're not thinking about it as much. You’re actually noticing…change. 

But instead of relaxing into it, you find yourself waiting for it to fall apart. Waiting for the next shoe to drop. 

One of our Food Freedom Academy members asked me about this recently. She'd been making real progress less than a month in and she said: I keep noticing I'm braced for failure. Is that normal?

Yes. And there's a specific reason it happens.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why you get pulled back into old patterns right when things start to shift. Your body isn't working against you - it's responding to something unfamiliar. And to your nervous system, unfamiliar and dangerous feel identical, even when one of them is healing.

You'll walk away understanding why the discomfort of progress is actually a sign the work is happening, what to do when your old identity starts making noise, and how to stay in the new without retreating to the old.

If you've ever had a good stretch and found yourself just waiting for it to end, this one's for you.
