EPISODE 12

Why Affirmations Aren’t Enough: The Science of Why Willpower and Quick Fixes Lead to Struggle

Are you exhausted from spinning your wheels on your healing journey?

Despite trying all the things?

In this important episode, I reveal why relying solely on willpower, positive thinking, and surface-level tactics often leads to minimal or short-lived progress.

Discover the importance of subconscious healing work and mental coherence, and why building a relationship with your inner child and shadow is crucial for lasting health and happiness.

By focusing on subconscious healing, you can achieve lasting change faster and with greater ease, breaking free from unconscious self-sabotaging patterns.

I also cover common misconceptions that make healing more difficult than it needs to be and I address the pitfalls of quick fixes and the erroneous belief that diet and lifestyle changes alone can resolve deep-seated issues.

This episode explains why your efforts to heal result in struggle and disappointment—your conscious mind isn’t as an effective healer compared to your subconscious.

Discover how subconscious programming influences your reality and learn practical steps to align your inner child, shadow self, and deeper beliefs with your highest desires.

Tune in to understand how you can simplify your healing journey, heal smarter and not harder, and achieve greater well-being with more ease, peace, and joy.
