31. You Know What’s Not Working — Here’s How to Know What to Do Instead
Fri Feb 06 2026
In this episode, I’m breaking down two tools I use personally and with clients to help interrupt anxiety, perfectionism, and subconscious patterns — especially when you know something isn’t working anymore, but you’re not sure what to do instead.
We explore the difference between Future You and Next-Level You, how they work together, and how to use them in real, everyday moments — not just big life decisions.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why awareness alone isn’t enough to create changeThe difference between Future You (big-picture trust) and Next-Level You (moment-to-moment clarity)How fear-based motivation actually keeps us stuckA real-life example of perfectionism and over-optimizing daily lifeAn emotionally charged example of catastrophizing and feeling misunderstoodHow separating facts from stories can calm anxiety spirals
These tools aren’t about fixing yourself — they’re about learning how to move through your life with more trust, ease, and clarity.
