Episode 51: The Hidden Reason You Keep Saying 'Not Now' to Your Own Transformation (And How To Break Free)

Monika Eva Season 3 Episode 17

You want the change.
You know you’re capable.
And yet... you keep finding yourself saying "not now"—even when everything inside you is begging for a breakthrough.

In today’s solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason you keep hesitating—and spoiler alert: it’s not about money, willpower, or time. It’s about fear, self-protection, and a nervous system that's just trying to keep you safe (even when it's keeping you stuck).

I’m sharing a personal story about how I almost sabotaged my own health journey by convincing myself "it was too expensive"—when the truth was, I was scared to change.

You'll hear exactly what was really happening beneath the surface—and how facing it changed everything.

Inside this episode:

  • Why your brain chooses "comfort" over transformation (even when comfort sucks)
  • How burnout and depletion trick you into staying stuck
  • The sneaky ways doomscrolling and distractions are draining your potential
  • What real momentum actually looks like—and how to start building it today, without overwhelm

This isn’t about grinding harder.
It’s about waking up to the ways you’ve been protecting yourself from the life you actually want—and learning how to move forward, safely, and sustainably.
