Ever feel like you’re doing the work — reading the books, listening to the podcasts, journaling your heart out — but your life hasn’t actually changed?
You might be in Insight Mode.
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking what Insight Mode is, why it feels productive (but isn’t), and how to shift out of it — with small, real-life actions that actually move the needle.
We’ll cover:
What Insight Mode looks like (with some real-life signs you’ll recognize immediately)
Why this mental loop is one of the biggest traps in personal development
The difference between self-awareness and self-discipline
How to shift from “aha” moments to follow-through
The exact question to ask yourself when you’re stuck in learning but not changing
💡 Plus: I’ll share a client story that kicked off this conversation — and a quick Bluey reference for all the parents and grandparents listening.
