[00:00] Welcome to Brainwashed. I’m Elle Kay, and this podcast is for anyone who's sick of trying hard, doing everything “right,” and still ending up back at square one.
[00:45] Today we're diving into why you quit just before things actually start to work. Spoiler: it's not about motivation, it's about your subconscious trying to protect you.
[02:15] We’ll explore how your nervous system interprets success as unfamiliar—and therefore unsafe—and why your brain pulls the handbrake right when things start to shift.
[04:00] You’re not broken. Your brain just needs a new story. I’ll explain how to start giving it one.
[06:00] Let’s talk about the identity crisis that happens when success feels unfamiliar—and how to push through the wobble.
[08:00] Real talk: what it actually looks like to hold on during the part where nothing seems to be happening.
[10:00] Your action step for today and how to stop quitting just before the breakthrough.
[11:19] Thanks for listening to Brainwashed. Subscribe, share, and I’ll see you in the next episode.
