The Surprising Reason You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns (and How to Break Free)

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep hitting the same wall over and over — whether in your career, relationships, or personal growth — you’re not alone. On this episode of the Full of Words Podcast, I speak with host Sue Kennedy about the hidden reason behind self-sabotage, negative self-talk, and those frustrating cycles we can’t seem to escape.

This conversation gives you practical tools and eye-opening insights you can use right away.

Inside this episode I share:

✅ The strange but powerful “itchy elbow” trick to calm inner conflict in the moment

✅ Why affirmations often fail — and the 3-word tweak that makes your brain believe them

✅ The role your inner 8-year-old still plays in your adult life (and how to finally re-parent yourself)

✅ How to spot the quiet whispers of your inner voice before they explode into a full-blown crisis

✅ A simple 5-minute technique to access confidence on demand, whenever you need it most

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to change the words you use with yourself, rewrite the old stories holding you back, and tap into the confidence and clarity that have been inside you all along.

You don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns. You have the power to rewrite your story — and it starts here.
