The Real Reason You Can’t Leave (Your Job, Relationship, or ‘Fine’ Life)
Description
If you’ve ever stayed too long in a job, a relationship, a city, or a life that quietly drains you, this episode is going to hit home.
Most people think they’re stuck because they’re indecisive, unmotivated, or “not ready yet.”
But the real reason you can’t leave the thing that’s wrong for you?
Your nervous system is convinced that the familiar is safer than the life you actually want.
In this episode, I share the true story of the six years I stayed in a job my body was begging me to leave… and the surprising science behind why so many high-achieving, capable people remain in situations they’ve clearly outgrown.
You’ll learn:
- How your nervous system confuses familiarity with safety
- Why functional freeze keeps you “fine” but disconnected from yourself
- The difference between fear that protects you and fear that blocks your growth
- The subtle body cues that reveal when it’s time to go
- Why your intuition goes offline when you’re burnt out or overwhelmed
- How to start leaving, gently, without forcing a big leap
If you’re exhausted, foggy, restless, or living with a knot in your stomach, you’ve normalized… your body might be telling you something. This episode helps you understand that message with compassion, clarity, and nervous-system intelligence.
Let’s update your internal map together.
