Summary

We will learn: How to spot and break out of subconscious loops that keep you stuck Practical ways to start consciously creating a life that’s actually yours Tools for creating real, lasting change in every part of your life One day, you’re wild, free, spontaneous—living each moment like anything could happen next. And then, before you know it, you wake up and realize… you’re living the same day for the 5,000th time. It doesn’t happen all at once. At first, that routine feels comfortable, like you’ve finally got things under control. But soon enough, it’s like you’re stuck on a loop. The same habits, the same thoughts, the same patterns keep showing up. And every time you try to break free or make a change, it’s like you’re right back where you started. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a loop like that, you know how it feels. Maybe for you, it’s not something visible, like an addiction or habit. Maybe it’s quieter—a fear that keeps you from making bold choices, a doubt that stops you from trying new things, or just the weight of knowing that you’re not living life on your terms. So how do we break the cycle? How do we step out of these old loops and start creating something real, something that feels like ours? Today our guest is TJ Woodward, a transformational coach and author who dives into the power of conscious creation. TJ’s work is all about unraveling the patterns that keep us in autopilot mode so we can take back control, break free from our loops, and start living fully. TJ is a featured thought-leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm.

0:22.4	But soon, it's like you're stuck in a loop. The same habits, the same thoughts, the same patterns keep showing up. And every
0:28.9	time you break free or make a change, it's like you're right back where you started. I know because
0:34.6	I lived it on many levels of intensity.
0:38.3	For years, I was just stuck in my own loops.
0:41.3	And when I say loops, I mean the big ones, addiction, bulimia, drinking too much, even the
0:47.5	endless cycle of promising myself I'd stop, only to find myself right back at it the next
0:53.1	night.
0:59.5	It felt like I was always on the verge of change, telling myself tomorrow would be different.
1:03.0	And then there I was, right back in the same damn place.
1:05.5	And maybe you know that cycle too.
1:07.6	Maybe for you it's also wine.
1:12.5	Or maybe it's the endless promises to finally do that thing you've been talking about forever. The business idea, the new hobby, reaching out to an old friend. And you hit a point where
1:20.4	you don't even trust yourself to follow through, to create your own life the way you want it.
1:26.3	And it's a scary place to be,
1:28.4	when the one person you should rely on can't keep their own promises.
1:33.3	Well, one night, I had an experience that showed me just how deep those loops went.
