231. Your Success Playbook
Episode 231
Friday, 23 January, 2026
How I used ChatGPT to uncover my patterns (and turned it into a Success Playbook)I share a behind-the-scenes experiment that turned into a game-changing self-coaching tool: I uploaded two years of journal entries to ChatGPT and asked it to identify my patterns. What came back was like having an ultra-insightful coach mirror back the exact moments I get dysregulated, slip into fear-based survival mode, and unintentionally self-sabotage… plus the specific non-negotiables that keep me grounded, regulated, and moving forward.If you’ve ever wondered why you “know what to do” but still fall into the same loops, this episode will help you see the real root: safety. When the body doesn’t feel safe, it defaults to fight/flight/freeze/fawn — and willpower won’t fix that. Awareness + regulation tools + a personalized Success Playbook will.In this episode, we cover:The real reason self-sabotage happens: your subconscious is designed for survival, not successHow fight/flight/freeze/fawn can show up as:People-pleasing and overcommitting (fawn)Overworking and pushing harder (fight)Procrastinating, scrolling, avoiding (flight/freeze)Why “try harder” and “more discipline” often backfire when you’re dysregulatedThe power of awareness: naming your triggers and patterns so you can interrupt them in real timeHow I created a Success Playbook (and why certain practices became non-negotiable)Why a simple habit tracker can help reinforce safety, consistency, and momentumHow you can create your own Success Playbook in about an hour — even without years of journalingGet the Success Playbook Prompts (Free)I created a Google Doc with journal prompts (takes ~1 hour) + the exact ChatGPT prompt to generate your own Success Playbook.To get it:Click here to go to the Instagram postComment PLAYBOOKYou’ll be automatically sent the Google DocIf this episode helped you, share it with a friend — and please rate + review the podcast.
