Why Mindset Work Doesn’t Stick (And the One Way It Actually Does)
Wed Feb 04 2026
Most mindset work fails because it’s aimed at the wrong level.
In this episode, Liz breaks down why managing thoughts, emotions, habits, and even “identity” rarely creates lasting change. You’ll learn why perfectionism, people-pleasing, overworking, and anxiety aren’t personality traits. They’re outputs of subconscious systems. And you’ll hear the only scientific conditions under which real change actually sticks.
This isn’t motivation. It’s system-level rewiring.
