Wait, Self-Awareness Isn't Actually The Solution? Why You’re Still Stuck in Toxic Cycles | Rewiring Your Brain (Part 3)

Self-awareness alone won’t save you. You can analyze your toxic patterns, explain them in perfect detail, and even call yourself out in real-time… but somehow, you still end up doing the same self-sabotaging nonsense.
So why the hell does this keep happening? Because knowing better doesn’t mean doing better. Your brain is literally wired to keep you stuck in what’s familiar—even when familiar is the very thing that’s ruining your relationships, confidence, and peace.
In Part 3 of this 5-part Rewiring Your Brain series, we’re exposing:✔️ Why you keep repeating toxic cycles (even though you know better)✔️ How your brain filters out healthy relationships and craves chaos✔️ The Mohawk Brain—the real culprit behind your self-sabotage✔️ How to retrain your brain so you stop choosing what hurts and start choosing what heals
If you’ve ever caught yourself mid-sabotage, thinking, “WHY am I doing this again?!”—this episode is for you.

You’re Not Stuck, You’re Impatient – Rewiring Your Brain Part 2

You keep saying you’re stuck. That you’ve done the work, that you see the patterns—so why the hell do you keep falling into the same toxic cycles, making the same self-sabotaging choices, and feeling like nothing is actually changing?
Here’s the truth: You’re not stuck. You’re just impatient. Your brain is running the same damn program it’s been running for years, and you’re pissed off that it’s not magically different overnight. That’s not how rewiring works.
🚨 Your brain is LITERALLY designed to fight change.
🚨 Your habits aren’t just habits—they’re neural pathways carved deep into your mind.
🚨 That’s why willpower alone won’t save you—it takes real, strategic rewiring to break free. In this episode, I’m exposing why your brain keeps you in emotional autopilot, why your nervous system freaks out when you try to change, and how to actually hack your own wiring so you can stop repeating the same BS.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
✅ Why change feels so damn unnatural (it’s not you, it’s science)
✅ The real reason you “slip back” into toxic patterns
✅ Why “21 days to change a habit” is a damn LIE
✅ How to train your brain to stop sabotaging the change you say you want
✅ The #1 mindset shift that makes rewiring stick
🚨 STOP thinking you’re failing. START understanding your brain. 🚨

Rewiring Your Brain (Part 1) – Why You Keep Giving Everything and Getting Screwed

You keep giving your all—your time, your energy, your love—only to end up feeling drained, unseen, and straight-up screwed over. Why? Because your brain is wired to repeat the same toxic patterns, no matter how badly you want to break free. This isn’t just bad luck or the universe testing you—this is science.
In Part 1 of Rewiring Your Brain: The Science of Change, we’re diving deep into why you keep attracting the same unhealthy relationships, why your mind fights against the change you crave, and how to finally break the cycle for good. If you’re sick of caring more than you get back, it’s time to rewire the way you show up in relationships—starting now.
🔥 What You’ll Learn:
The brain science behind why you stay stuck in toxic patterns
How your nervous system keeps you chasing emotional unavailability
The truth about why “stable” love feels boring (and why that’s a lie)
A simple but powerful trick to start breaking the cycle TODAY
Your brain is playing you—but once you see the pattern, you can break it.

Breaking Free: From Toxic Patterns to True Intimacy

💥 "She was convinced her husband was out to get her. That no one listened. That she was always under attack. But what if the real problem… was her?"
In this bold, no-BS episode, I sit down with Alona, a member of my Real & Raw Relationship Reset Program, who started this journey pointing the finger at everyone else—especially her husband. She truly believed she was unheard, misunderstood, and constantly fighting to be right.
But the deeper we dug, the more she realized that her biggest fear wasn’t being hurt—it was letting someone in.
We dive into:
✅ The wake-up call that made her see HER role in the cycle
✅ Why admitting she was wrong felt like losing control
✅ How shifting from blame to self-awareness changed everything
✅ What happens when you stop fighting and start actually listening
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, defensive, or trapped in the same relationship struggles over and over again, this episode will hit home. Because healing isn’t about proving a point—it’s about finally letting yourself be seen.
