Are you tired of starting over every Monday? Do you find yourself saying "I'll be good tomorrow" while beating yourself up for every imperfect choice?
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Orlena reveals the hidden mental patterns that are secretly sabotaging your health goals - and why willpower alone will never be enough.
Drawing from the groundbreaking work on Positive Intelligence, she exposes the nine "saboteurs" living in your head: from the Controller who demands perfection, to the Pleaser who puts everyone else first, to the Victim who blames circumstances for every setback.
Here's what you'll discover:
- The Judge and Nine Saboteurs Framework - Learn to identify the specific negative thought patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of self-defeat, starting with the inner "judge" that kicks off every bout of self-criticism
- Why Your Strengths Become Your Weaknesses - Understand how the very traits that make you successful in other areas of life (like being a high achiever or wanting to help others) can actually work against your health goals when they tip into negative brain mode
- The Reframing Revolution - Master the art of shifting from destructive self-talk to empowering inner dialogue, transforming thoughts like "I'm failing" into "I'm learning and growing"
Through a powerful real-life story about a neighbor trapped in victim mentality, Dr. Orlena shows how these patterns play out in daily life - and more importantly, how awareness and reframing can set you free.
If you're ready to stop fighting your own mind and start working with it, this episode will give you the tools to identify your personal saboteurs and begin the transformation from negative to positive brain.
Your health journey starts in your head - isn't it time you got your mind on your side?
