Summary

4 Questions to Ask Before You Give Up (Again)
A guide to breaking your pattern and finally moving forward

🔥 Episode Summary:

There are millions of people silently drowning in overwhelm, stuck in patterns they desperately want to break — and yet, they keep turning down the life rafts being thrown their way.

They say things like:

“I start but never finish.”
“I know what to do, I just don’t do it.”
“I’ve already invested so much and nothing works.”

These beliefs feel like truth, but they’re actually traps.
In this episode, I’m holding up a mirror — not to call you out, but to call you up.

If you’re tired of striving but never arriving, this episode will walk you through:

The 3 core beliefs that are keeping you stuck
Why your pattern is stronger than your plan — and how to change that
4 powerful questions you can ask to finally break free from your cycle
A new way to make decisions that’s rooted in possibility, not fear

🧠 This episode will help you:

✔ Stop using the past as a reason to quit the future
✔ Catch yourself when you're turning down help
✔ Challenge the “I always give up” identity
✔ Take one aligned step — even when it’s uncomfortable
