Join Amanda as she unravels the common misconception that our less-than-ideal habits, like procrastination, comfort eating, or even avoiding conflict, are simply failures of self-discipline. Discover how these behaviors, often perceived as negative, might actually be protective strategies aimed at keeping us safe. Reflecting on her own experiences with procrastination, Amanda reveals how what might look like a lack of organization could instead be a response motivated by a deep-seated fear of failure.

Through engaging storytelling, Amanda illustrates how these patterns emerge as ways to navigate the complexities of life, offering temporary comfort or safety. From neuro-linguistic programming insights to personal anecdotes, she encourages listeners to shift from judgment to curiosity, inviting us to ask, “What need is this behavior trying to meet?”

In a world wired for survival, Amanda offers gentle coaching tips on how to replace these old patterns with healthier choices that still fulfill our underlying needs.
