Episode #202: The Under-Feeling Problem

Summary 

You can be smart, disciplined, and wildly capable… and still find yourself going off track the moment stress spikes or motivation dips. In this episode, I’m naming what’s really happening: it’s not a willpower problem—and it’s definitely not a “you need more information” problem.

We’re talking about the Under Feeling Problem: the gap between having a solid plan and being able to follow through when your body is flooded with overwhelm, doubt, frustration, or that familiar “I’ll deal with this later” energy. I’ll walk you through the two most common patterns I see in high-achieving women, why “grit” isn’t the missing ingredient, and the emotional skill that changes everything—at home, at work, and on the scale.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• The two “flavors” that derail even the most disciplined women: motivation dips vs stress spikes—and why they require different support
• Why overachievers often have plenty of grit… but a narrow window for discomfort (and how that drives inconsistency)
• What “under feeling” actually looks like in real life (and why numbing out is usually the default coping strategy)
• The skill that makes your plan sustainable: building emotional resilience so you can follow through without white-knuckling or checking out
• A powerful real-life story (with a surprising parenting twist) that shows how learning to feel discomfort changes your results—and your relationships
