🎙️ You’re Not Blocked. You’re Addicted to the Problem

Episode 77 of Spiritual Awakening with Shaz

Episode Overview

Why do you still feel stuck, even after trying everything?

In this episode, we dive into a confronting truth that most people avoid. You may not be blocked at all. You may be attached to the very problem you’re trying to escape.

This conversation unpacks how patterns, identity, and emotional attachment keep you repeating the same cycles. It explores why struggle can feel familiar, why change feels uncomfortable, and how your nervous system keeps you where it feels safe.

This is not about blame. It’s about awareness, responsibility, and giving yourself permission to move forward.
