76. The Two D’s That Will Hijack the Life You’re Striving For Every Time

November 19, 2025

Every single one of us has big desires — the identity we want to step into, the results we’re working toward, the life we know we’re meant for.

And yet… we keep getting pulled off our path.

We know what we want.

We feel the potential inside us.

We try to show up differently.

But something inside hijacks us — again and again.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the Two D’s that derail you every single time if you’re not aware of them:

Dysregulation and Disconnection.


These two forces — happening inside your body and mind — are the real reason you:

procrastinate

overeat

numb

shut down

avoid

scroll

hide

lose momentum

sabotage your progress

and step out of the identity you want to live in

This is what’s been hijacking the life you’re striving for — without you even realizing it.

You’ll learn:

Why your nervous system reacts before you can think

How old beliefs and memories stored in your body get triggered today

Why the brain pulls you away from your truth when things get “unsafe”

Why survival mode feels more familiar than success

Why you abandon yourself even when you don’t want to

How to finally lead your nervous system instead of being led by it

This is the missing awareness most people never get.

And without it, the nervous system will run your life — not your truth.

This episode takes you right to the beginning of the work:

Understanding the forces pulling you away from who you want to be…

and learning how to return to yourself instead.
