Episode 3: Why You’re Stuck Even When You Know Better

Learn why knowing isn’t enough, what keeps you stuck, and how the Get Untrapped movement helps you move forward.

If knowing was enough, you’d already be there.

If information alone created change, we’d all be at our goal weight, in healthy relationships, and working in careers that fit. But knowing better doesn’t always mean doing better.

In this episode, I unpack the trap of the Knowing/Doing Gap — why so many of us get stuck even when we “know what to do,” the hidden forces that keep us there, and how to finally bridge the gap between awareness and aligned action.

Using the familiar weight loss example, we’ll explore how conditioning, fear, and capacity play a bigger role than willpower — and how you can start making small, sustainable moves toward the life you actually want.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why knowledge alone doesn’t create change (and why that’s not your fault)

  • The 3 forces that widen the Knowing/Doing Gap: conditioning, fear, and capacity

  • 1 action step to close the gap between knowing and doing
