About this listen
In this episode, Jenna Marilyn explores why so many people feel stuck in cycles they genuinely want to escape. Scrolling, sugar, overconsumption, late nights, compulsive habits. And why it is not because they are lazy, weak, or lacking willpower.
Drawing from personal experience and addiction neuroscience, Jenna reframes discipline entirely. The real problem is not motivation. It is negotiation. When high-dopamine options stay available, the nervous system is wired to lose the debate every time. This episode explores why removing choice creates relief, how environment beats willpower, and why fewer decisions can feel like freedom instead of restriction.
If you are tired of arguing with yourself, breaking promises you meant to keep, or carrying quiet shame about habits you thought you would have outgrown, this episode offers a different approach. You do not need to fight yourself. You need to set yourself up. Freedom is not self-control. It is fewer choices.
