🎧 The Story Trap: How Your Brain Keeps You Stuck in Struggle
with Liam Naden (EPI. #258)
What if the struggle you’re experiencing isn’t a motivation problem — but a brain design issue?
In this episode, I’m joined by Liam Naden, neuroscience-based success coach and author of Let Yourself Off the Hook, to explore what he calls The Story Trap — the mental narratives that quietly keep us stuck in stress, fear, and overthinking.
Liam shares how the brain is actually wired for ease, flow, and thriving, and why letting go — not pushing harder — is often the key to real alignment and success.
In this conversation, you’ll explore:
- Why struggle isn’t natural — and what your brain really wants
- How the “story trap” keeps you locked in survival mode
- The neuroscience behind moving from fear to flow
- Why success comes from alignment, not effort
