Self-sabotage isn’t a failure of motivation — it’s a signal from the nervous system that part of you still equates change with danger.
In this 3-minute video, I walk through six key questions from my Readiness Assessment — a tool I use in the RE:Code Lab to help clients uncover the deeper layers beneath procrastination, perfectionism, and burnout.
The question that changes everything:
Who’s doing the changing — your soul, or your survival self?
When we shift identity at the root, transformation becomes sustainable.

Free Global Summit
I’ll be diving deeper into these frameworks this week at the Rewiring to Break Free from Self-Limiting Behaviors Summit (Nov 11–17, 2025) — featuring more than 50 global experts in neuroscience, trauma recovery, and performance psychology.
My talk explores The Cornerstone Process™ — how to rewire the nervous system and recode identity for healthy relationships. I also give a teaser about my upcoming book and 6-week course, Rewrite Your Financial Destiny.
Using the Readiness Assessment for Personal Exploration
The Readiness Assessment is a valuable tool for exploring your preparedness for personal transformation. Rather than relying on a rigid scoring system, this assessment provides a starting point for deeper inquiry about your emotional, mental, and psychological readiness for change.
Do you see recurring themes or patterns in your responses?
For example, if you frequently express doubts or fears, this could indicate areas where you need additional support or reassurance. If you show excitement and confidence, these are strengths you can build upon.

Addressing Your Resistance to Change:
Acknowledge the Resistance: Recognize and validate the feelings of resistance as a natural part of the change process. It’s important to understand that it’s okay to have these feelings, your younger parts have good reasons for them. This recognition can reduce self-judgment and open up space for exploration.
Identify Specific Fears: Get specific about your fears or what exactly you’re hesitant to give up. Often, pinpointing these can demystify them and reduce their power. You can begin to question the validity of the fear. Is the current situation really a reproduction of the events in the past that installed fear and doubt that lead to self-limiting behaviors?
Small, Manageable Steps: Break down the process of your personal growth or healing journey into smaller, more manageable steps can make the change less daunting. Set mini-goals that gradually lead to the larger goal. And track your progress so all parts of you can see you are competent!
Focus on Benefits: Highlight the positive outcomes and benefits of making the change. Visualizing the potential improvements in your life can motivate you to move past their resistance.
Reflect on Past Successes: Reflect on past instances where they successfully overcame resistance or made significant changes. This can boost confidence in your ability to do so again.
Practice Self-Compassion: Encourage a practice of self-compassion, reminding all of your parts that progress is often non-linear and that setbacks are part of the journey. Cultivating a kind, compassionate inner dialogue can ease the fear of change.
Seek Support: Remember that seeking support from the community, mentors, or coaches can provide encouragement and accountability, making it easier to navigate through resistance.
If you’re curious about rewiring identity and consciousness through guided attunement, explore the RE:Code Lab — our monthly immersion in conscious evolution and integrative healing.
Each Re:Code Lab begins with a short discussion on a consciousness theme, followed by a guided Attunement Activation and reflective space to design your own 30-day experiment. You choose your own hypothesis to test — observing how small shifts in awareness transform everyday outcomes.
It’s free, it’s live every third Wednesday, and it’s where I guide you through experiments that reconnect you to Source — the Larger Consciousness System — so you can see how your awareness literally reshapes reality.
