237 - You Already Know What To Do. That Was Never The Problem.

In this episode:

• Why “knowing what to do” is often just trivia, not real awareness, and what real awareness actually sounds like
• How perimenopause can interfere with your body's hunger and fullness signals (interoceptive awareness)
• Why this exact objection hits high-achieving, capable women the hardest, and why the LLYT lens explains why force of will doesn't work on a body run by cortisol and hormones
• The intention-behavior gap: why even sincere intentions only predict about a third of actual follow-through (Sheeran & Webb)
• Decision fatigue and why willpower runs out by 8pm (Baumeister)
• Why vague intentions fail and specific if-then plans work two to three times better (Gollwitzer & Sheeran)
• Self-handicapping: the quiet, protective habit of setting yourself up to fail so it doesn't feel personal (Jones & Berglas)
• Why your environment is quietly making decisions before you do, and how to rebuild your cues (Wendy Wood)
• The reframe that turns an identity problem into a Tuesday problem you can actually fix
