Episode 2: Instead of Moving Forward, the Hyper-Rational and Avoider Keep You Paralyzed in Fear or Logic

In this episode, we talk about two sneaky saboteurs that can quietly hold you back — the Hyper-Rational and the Avoider. The Hyper-Rational lives in the left brain — it loves logic, facts, and control. But when it takes over, you can become too focused on thinking and not enough on feeling. It can make you seem distant, hurt deep relationships, and cause you to miss out on opportunities that need trust, intuition, and emotional connection. The Avoider tries to keep everything calm and comfortable. It avoids conflict, tough conversations, and uncomfortable feelings. It might look like positivity, but really, it stops you from facing what needs to be faced and slows down your growth. Together, these two saboteurs can paralyze your growth — keeping you safe but stuck, logical but lonely. Tune in as we uncover how to spot their patterns, disarm them, and awaken your Sage power to move forward with clarity, courage, and authentic connection. website: https://www.designedwithin.com/  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvette-ayuso/ Email: yvette@designedwithin.com  As an Integrative Brain Coach, Yvette is passionate about helping professional women from diverse cultures heal from the effects of traumatic or deeply challenging romantic relationships or family dynamics.
