1352: When Trying Doesn’t Work: The Real Reason You Stay Stuck

You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. But you might be stuck in a loop of trying the same things over and over — even when they’ve never worked.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into learned helplessness: why you feel like nothing works, how your brain tricks you into repeating the past, and what you can do to finally break free.

We’ll unpack:

  • Why recycling effort isn’t the same as solving the problem

  • How you’ve been overemphasizing options and underemphasizing choice

  • The trap of only considering what you’ve already tried

  • The epidemic of passive consumption (and why it’s costing you your ability to think)

This is a wake-up call and a relief — because once you see the loop, you can step out of it.
