I wasn't living up to my potential. Many can relate. It looks like this: You know exactly what you need to do – and you still can't make yourself do it. The internet says you just need to follow through but it's not a discipline problem. In this episode I break down why "stuck" is actually your nervous system's freeze response (the same state behind a landmark study on dogs and learned helplessness), how I finally recognized it in my own marriage, and the one shift – radical self-responsibility – that got me unstuck for good.
