Why My Old Habits Kept Returning—And What I Do About Them!

For years, I’ve struggled with a behaviour that still has the potential to blindside me, leaving me reeling as I deal with the inevitable fallout.  

Despite all the work and therapy, I’ve done over the past 25 years, this behaviour feels like an indelible stain on my nervous system.

Even in moments when I should feel safe and supported, it can still pop up like a jack-in-the-box, impacting my relationships and sense of self.

Having looked after many rescue dogs in the past, my behaviour often reminds me of theirs—animals, despite living in a loving home, can still react with fear when triggered, causing them to bite those they love. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

Even though I’ve made tremendous progress, I feel like a failure and a fraud when this behavior reappears.

Here I am espousing Personal Health Leadership™, yet struggling to lead myself in these moments. However, I’ve come to understand that these ingrained responses aren’t signs that I’m flawed; they’re reminders that life’s stressors have quietly accumulated and that I’ve relapsed by not fully applying my Personal Health Leadership™ system.

I long ago gave up the idea that I needed to “fix” myself because there is nothing to fix. Instead, I realized there was so much I didn’t know about how our nervous system operates and how we can work with it to create real, lasting change.

This understanding led me to create The 3 Systems of Health Consciousness™ model, The Freedom Codes™, and the Personal Health Leadership™ system—tools I needed to navigate my way through a myriad of stubborn habits and behaviours that I’ve developed over my lifetime, with greater awareness and grace.

Over the past 14 years, these systems have transformed my life exponentially. They’ve taught me to approach these behaviours and responses not with judgment but with curiosity and compassion (although I assure you that it’s a two-step process, one that often starts with feeling mortified that it has happened again).

By understanding my body’s signals and returning to The 3 Systems of Health Consciousness™ model, The Freedom Codes™, and the Personal Health Leadership™ system, I can shift from reactive patterns to mindful, conscious responses.

I know what it feels like to be in the thick of it, and that’s exactly why I’m launching Women’s Personal Health Leadership™ to offer a supportive framework for women like you and me who are committed to real transformation.
