The choices you’re making—often without realizing—could be the reason you’re stuck.
So many people feel stuck in life, work, or relationships—and don’t realize it’s their own decisions keeping them there.
In this episode of The Chris LoCurto Show, Chris and fellow Next-Level Life (used to be Life Plan) facilitator Joel Fortner dive deep into how our choices, especially the subconscious ones, often come from broken belief systems, past wounds, or a lack of healthy boundaries.
You’ll hear why it’s not enough to simply know you’re making poor choices. True change comes when you understand why you make them—and what’s driving those decisions underneath the surface.
From people-pleasing and family dysfunction to false identity and worthlessness, this episode shines a light on how real freedom begins by taking ownership of your internal world.
What You’ll Learn
This episode offers transformational insight into your decision-making process—especially if you feel stuck or frustrated with areas of your life. You’ll discover:
- Why simply recognizing a bad habit isn’t enough to break it—and what has to happen for real change
- How your Root System drives subconscious choices, often without your awareness
- The role of boundaries, walls, and healthy boundaries, and how each one affects your relationships
- Why many people unknowingly choose pain over healing—and how to shift that
- How people-pleasing and fear of rejection control your decisions without you realizing it
- The difference between surviving and thriving—and how to move out of survival mode
- What breakthrough looks like, and why clarity around your past unlocks a better future
- How to stop seeking worth and identity in others, and instead walk in strength and freedom
Whether you’re carrying wounds from your past or simply frustrated by ongoing patterns you can’t seem to break, this conversation will give you powerful tools and perspective to make better choices—starting now.
Why This Matters
Your decisions shape your life—but most people don’t understand where their decisions are coming from.
Until you uncover what’s driving your choices, you’ll continue to operate in the same cycles of frustration, burnout, or broken relationships. But once you see the patterns clearly—and learn to put healthy boundaries in place—you’ll finally have the freedom to make decisions that lead to health, peace, and purpose.
It’s not easy. But it is possible. And it starts with understanding your root system.
This episode is a powerful reminder that clarity is the starting point for real change. You’re not stuck because of your circumstances—you’re stuck because of the decisions you continue to make without realizing why.
If you’re ready to experience freedom, peace, and confidence in your life, it starts by looking inward. Take the first step. Get the tools. And start choosing health.
