Hey guys hey! Ever feel like life’s on repeat—same drama, different day? Whether it’s in your relationships, your work, or that inner critic who never shuts up... there might be a reason: your subconscious is running the show.
In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I’m joined by Shanenn Bryant—Pattern Transformation Expert, creator of Top Self, and host of the globally ranked Top Self podcast.
We dive deep into:
-
🧠 How emotional patterns from childhood shape adult relationships & careers
-
🛑 Why just repeating affirmations isn’t enough to change your behavior
-
💔 Why you might keep attracting partners who reinforce feelings of unworthiness
-
🔄 How to finally break free from emotional chaos—and rewrite your internal script
-
💼 The surprising ways attachment styles show up in leadership & burnout
Whether you’re navigating anxious attachment, people-pleasing, or just wondering why you keep doing the same things, this episode is packed with science-backed insight, tools, and truth bombs you’ll want to revisit again and again.
