Episode 1

You Know Better. So Why Is It Still Hard?

Have you ever had a gut feeling about something, ignored it, and then watched it play out exactly the way you feared? You are not alone. In this episode, Marilyn gets real about the gap between what we know and what we actually do, and why that gap does not make you broken or weak. It just makes you human.

Through personal stories and real-life examples, Marilyn walks through why we override our own instincts, what it costs us when we do, and how to start rebuilding trust with yourself one moment at a time. If you have ever beaten yourself up for not listening to what you already knew, this episode is for you.

This is Season 4 of Put It in a Bubble, and we are going deeper this season. Not just talking about mindset, but what it actually looks like to live it out every single day.

In this episode:

  • Why knowing better does not always mean doing better
  • The real reason our brain overrides our gut
  • Personal stories that show how this shows up in everyday life
  • How to use the bubble method in that critical moment of decision
  • Why beating yourself up is not the answer, and what to do instead
