138. Why You Keep "Self-Sabotaging" (And Why It's Not Your Fault) with Brad Bizjack

You have a meal plan. You have a workout plan. So why aren't you following them?

Mindset coach Brad Bizjack is back for round 2! He's trained nearly 100,000 people in lasting behavior change. In this episode we get into what's really going on under the hood when you "fall off the wagon."

Brad shares a pretty polarizing take: self-sabotage is physically impossible. We talk about the 6 human needs behind every behavior (yes, even the 11pm fridge raid), why blaming yourself never leads to success, and the well-intentioned mistake so many parents make.

If you know what to do but can't get yourself to do it, this one's for you. 💛
