EPISODE 21: Do you feel like you’re trapped in a loop? Yelling at your kids, fighting with your spouse, and struggling to breathe under the overwhelming weight of daily chaos? Constantly wondering, "Why am I like this?" or "Am I broken?"Trust me, we've all been there. We get trapped in these ruts of doubt, self-blame, shame, and not-enoughness, not only in parenting but in many other parts of our lives.But I have good news. It’s not because you’re lazy or not trying hard enough. And there’s nothing wrong with you. How can I be so sure? Well, I have a science-backed confirmation from today’s incredibly special guest: Britt Frank, author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward. (Her book is a beacon for all of us who've felt paralyzed in any aspect of our lives.)She's not just a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert - she's lived through the struggles herself. Joking that she’s “just a recovering disaster of a human being” with a long list of DSM diagnoses, she shares that she’s overcome drug addiction, eating disorders, childhood trauma, and other personal traumas. Britt has been on both sides of the couch, and she definitely gets how it feels like to be a hot mess sometimes. And in this episode, she’ll be talking about the science behind why we get stuck and how to break free.So, if you need a change, a fresh perspective, or an explanation for why you’re stuck in procrastination, anxiety, self-doubt, ruminating thoughts, and more, tune in. I promise, by the end of our chat, you'll love Britt just as much as I do.Join us!Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Who is Britt Frank?
