Show notes

Why do we self-sabotage even when we know exactly what we should be doing? Jenifer Merifield joins us to unpack the psychology behind self-sabotage, procrastination, identity and behaviour change.

We explore how your subconscious and nervous system can influence decisions before your conscious mind gets involved, why stepping outside your comfort zone can feel wrong, how childhood experiences and your environment shape your perception of the world, and how to tell the difference between genuine intuition and simple unfamiliarity.

Jenifer also explains why information alone rarely changes us, why becoming a different version of yourself may need to come before achieving different results, and why the other side of discomfort is often freedom.

We also somehow end up talking about identical twins, raisins, eating frogs, cold calling, AI wombs and a few other places we definitely didn't expect the conversation to go.
