The Story Trap: How Your Brain Keeps You Stuck in Struggle
A Conversation with Liam Naden
There’s a subtle place many of us get stuck —
even when we’re doing all the “right” things.
We think more effort will bring relief.
We assume discipline is the answer.
We try to reason our way out of stress.
But what if the struggle isn’t coming from what you’re doing —
and instead from the story your brain keeps telling?
In this episode, I’m joined by Liam Naden — neuroscience-based success coach and author of Let Yourself Off the Hook — for a powerful conversation about what he calls The Story Trap.
It’s the internal narrative loop that keeps the brain in survival mode — even when life no longer requires it.
✨ Inside This Episode
• Why the brain is wired for safety, not happiness
• Why letting go creates more clarity than pushing harder
•What it actually means to use your brain the way nature designed
🧭 A Question to Sit With
As you listen, consider this:
What story does your mind return to when things feel uncertain?
And what becomes possible when you don’t follow it?
✨ Deeper Support Spotlight
🌿 Meet Nourishment Warrior - Amy
If February’s conversations around alignment, nervous system awareness, and conscious choice are resonating with you — this may be a nourishing next step.
If you've ever felt exhausted by the pressure to fix yourself — this one's for you.
Amy Beauchemin Toscano, RDN, founder of Lioness Wellness, offers an intimate wellness experience designed for women navigating stress, transition, or burnout. Through personalized 1:1 nutrition and wellness sessions — with the option for gentle group support — Amy creates a space rooted in deep, attuned listening. There are no rigid rules here, no one-size-fits-all plans. Just a quiet invitation to slow down and reconnect with what your body already knows.
Her approach is simple: restore trust in yourself, and respond with compassion rather than control.
What makes Amy's approach different
Amy's work is guided by her 7 Pillars of Protection — nourishment, movement, rest, and daily rhythms — creating a framework that feels less like a program and more like a gentle return to yourself.
🌿 Guided by intuition and the body's wisdom 🛡️ Grounded in her 7 Pillars of Protection ✨ Designed to help you notice what your body is asking for — and meet it without pressure
This is support that honors presence over performance — and alignment over control.
This spring, instead of pushing for change, you’re invited to support it from the inside out.
Amy’s upcoming cohort opens soon, and space is intentionally limited.

🧭 Early Access: Founder’s Compass App
This is an app I wish had existed when I was navigating my own pivots. What I needed wasn’t another tool to optimize my output.
I needed a way to remember my why — consistently — as life evolved.
So I built the app I wish I’d had.
As I moved through 20+ years in technology, user experience, marketing, and social media, and later deepened into mindfulness and AI, I kept noticing the same quiet pattern — in myself and in other founders:
- 🔁 FOUNDATION — Remembering what already exists
Realizing I did have a foundation — values, experiences, motivations — but often dismissed it as “the past” instead of treating it as something I could return to, reflect on, and build from with intention.
- 🧭 TRANSITION — Having a place to think, feel, and listen
During pivots, I didn’t need more advice — I needed a mirror.
A space to reflect with guided prompts that helped me explore my why not just mentally, but through headspace, heart space, and the signals from my body — the somatic wisdom we often ignore when decisions feel urgent.
- 🌫️ VISION — Holding alignment beyond goals and vision boards
Recognizing that true vision isn’t just future-thinking — it’s holistic coherence.
Staying aligned across mind, heart, and body, grounded in neuroscience and spirituality, so the direction I was moving in actually felt true — not just impressive.
What I needed wasn’t another productivity tool.
I needed a way to return to my why — repeatedly — as I evolved.
