Why willpower isn’t enough (and what to do instead)


Hi Reader,

I’m excited to share my latest podcast episode with you! I recently sat down with Dr. Lise Janelle, author of Conversations with the Heart and co-author of the upcoming book Unstuck with Jack Canfield, for a fascinating look at the mind.

Have you ever felt like you’re “unlucky” in life or business? Dr. Lise explains that 90-95% of our actions are pre-programmed. If your subconscious thinks your goal is “unsafe,” it will trigger procrastination to protect you.

In this episode, we explore:

• The 3 symptoms that prove you have a subconscious block.

• Why “drudgery” is a sign you’re working against your internal programming.

• The behind-the-scenes reality of co-authoring a book with a 600-million-copy bestseller like Jack Canfield.

• How to identify your “Why” to overcome the fear of being a fraud.

One of my favorite moments was when Dr. Lise said: “Your conscious mind is the size of a football, and the subconscious mind is the football field. Imagine the intensity of the willpower you must muster to be able to work against that.” It really put into perspective why we can’t just “force” our way to success.
