In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch explores the root cause behind recurring problems like procrastination, overwhelm, inconsistency, perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, and self-sabotage.

Because often, the problem you think is the problem… isn’t the real problem.

It’s the surface symptom.

The real issue may be an unconscious pattern, old belief, emotional charge, identity attachment, or protective strategy quietly running the show.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why being smart doesn’t make you immune to unconscious patterns
✔ The difference between a presenting problem and a root cause
✔ Why quick fixes, habits, and strategies often don’t create lasting change
✔ How self-sabotage may actually be self-protection
✔ Why breakthrough work requires insight, action, focus, and evidence
✔ A powerful journaling question to uncover the pattern underneath the pattern

The question to sit with:

What do I already know that I’m pretending not to know?

If you’ve been managing the same problem for too long, this episode will help you stop blaming yourself and start looking deeper.

Because you don’t need another year of managing the same pattern.

You may need to change it at the root.
