From the outside, it looks like you have it all together. So why do you still feel… stuck? Here’s the truth most people won’t tell you: Being a hyper-achiever doesn’t mean your mind is working for you. In fact, it often means your brain is working against you. Overthinking. Pressure. Control. Constant mental noise. You’re performing at a high level—but not from a place of clarity or peace. And that’s the problem. In this episode, we break down how to access infinite intelligence—the part of your brain that already knows what to do, sees opportunities, and moves with confidence—using Positive Intelligence (PQ) neuroscience. This isn’t mindset fluff. This is mental fitness.

Lily and Cosimo dive into how the Stickler keeps you looping in overthinking, why it convinces you to prioritize tiny tasks over meaningful progress, and how it drains your momentum without you even noticing.

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.
