Stop trying to fix yourself (Do this instead)

You've done the therapy. You've worked on yourself. You understand your patterns. So why doesn't your life feel like it's actually yours? Sometimes, the next step isn't understanding yourself even more. It's learning what you want through real-life experience. In this video, I talk about the difference between self-awareness and actually building a life you want to participate in. When you've spent years analyzing your patterns, working on yourself, and organizing your life around other people, it's easy to turn your entire existence into another self-improvement project. In this episode, we explore: • Why self-awareness doesn't always translate into real-life change • How self-improvement can become another way of staying stuck • The difference between what you "should" want vs. what genuinely energizes you • How to discover what you want when you've spent years prioritizing others • Why real clarity comes from taking action, not waiting for all the answers --- ✨ WORK WITH ME I offer personalized 1:1 coaching for self-aware people who are ready to stop repeating old patterns, redirect their energy, and make meaningful changes in their actual lives. This isn't about giving you another formula or telling you who to be. It's about working with what you already know, identifying what's keeping you stuck, and building the accountability to do something differently. ⚡ Book a 1:1 session: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/... 🌐 Learn more about my coaching: https://www.leslieturis.com --- Subscribe for more on self-awareness, relationships, overfunctioning, self-trust, and building a life that actually feels like yours. 📸 Instagram:   / iamleslieturis   🎵 TikTok:   / leslieturis   --- #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth #Overfunctioning #SelfTrust --- TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The trap of constant self-fixing 00:38 - What do you actually want more of? 01:36 - You need fresh data, not more thinking 02:08 - Green lights vs. "Ought to" obligations (Ceramics vs. Book Club) 04:00 - How to discover who you are by doing 05:05 - Reclaiming your attention and energy 05:52 - Taking the next step in 1-on-1 coaching
