Episode 518: 7 Habits You Must Stop to Level Up
Habits and Hustle
Comfort Blocks Growth
Jennifer explains that playing it safe feels good now but prevents long-term growth and resilience.
What if the reason you’re not moving forward isn’t what you’re missing, but what you keep holding on to?
Change doesn’t happen because you add more to your life. It happens when you finally remove the habits that drain your time, your energy and your momentum.
In this solo episode, I break down the seven patterns that stop high performers from moving forward, even when they think they’re doing everything right.
These questions come up constantly, and the truth behind them is the same. Waiting is a trap, negative energy slows you down, comfort blocks growth, complaining keeps you stuck in place.
If you feel like you’re pushing hard but not getting anywhere, this episode will show you exactly what to cut. These are simple shifts, but they change everything. Tune in and take notes.
