What if you don't have a discipline problem?

If you're burned out, exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to follow through on the things you know you're "supposed" to be doing, you may have convinced yourself that you simply need more discipline, motivation, consistency, or willpower.

But here's the question:

If discipline were the answer, wouldn't you have fixed this already?

You're probably incredibly disciplined when it comes to showing up for everyone else.

You're the responsible one.

The caretaker.

The perfectionist.

The people pleaser.

The strong one.

The woman everyone can count on.

So why does taking care of yourself feel so much harder?

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why more discipline isn't necessarily the answer to burnout
• The gap between knowing what you should do and actually being able to change
• How people pleasing and perfectionism can keep you stuck in survival mode
• Why you may be trying to change your behavior without addressing what's driving it
• The emotional patterns underneath over-functioning and self-abandonment
• Why awareness alone isn't always enough
• What actually needs to happen for sustainable behavior change
• The Return To Self process and how it helps women begin moving from survival mode toward a softer, more sustainable way of living

You don't need to become a more disciplined version of the exhausted woman you already are.

You may need to stop overriding yourself.
