39 | The Subconscious Fear of Change: Why Wanting Change Isn’t Enough

In this episode, Safiya and I explore one of the most misunderstood reasons people stay stuck: the subconscious fear of change. We talk about why change can feel exciting at first, and then suddenly feel heavy, exhausting, or impossible once you actually try to follow through. Not because you’re lazy, but because your subconscious mind is wired to prioritize safety over growth. This conversation unpacks how resistance often shows up after you’ve already decided you want something different. And most importantly, we talk about how real, lasting change doesn’t come from forcing yourself to push harder… but from helping your system feel safe enough to move forward. What You’ll Learn: • Why wanting change isn’t the same as feeling safe enough to make it • How the subconscious decides what feels “safe” (and what doesn’t) • The difference between normal discomfort and subconscious resistance • Why willpower fades, and what actually helps when motivation wears off • How past experiences quietly shape your relationship with change • Where to start when you’ve been repeating the same goal for years Resources & Links: • Want to work together 1:1?
