Recognizing the Patterns That Keep You Stuck

Episode 3 of Deservingly You

You’re not broken — you’re repeating what once kept you safe.
In this week’s episode, Shannon and John explore how awareness becomes the first courageous step toward clarity, confidence, and freedom.

They’ll walk you through how to:

  • Recognize the hidden patterns that keep you looping in survival mode.

  • Understand why people-pleasing, over-apologizing, and shrinking were once protection — not flaws.

  • Shift from self-judgment to compassionate clarity.

✨ Awareness is not judgment — it’s choice. It’s the moment you stop reacting and start responding.
