## Resource

What if the new goals you are struggling to achieve or you find yourself reverting back to old habits aren’t a discipline issue at all? What if it was a safety signal? In this episode, Danielle explains why we default back to our old ways when we try to create new habits, how emotional safety shapes our habits, our boundaries, and our motivation, and walks us through simple steps to reframe our nervous system to stop seeing a threat when we step out of our comfort zones. In her true nature, she will also show you how to teach you how to model this to your children so that they have a head start on how to recognize the signs that their nervous system is acting out and what parents and educators need to understand before discipline can ever work. In this Self-Leadership Series, Danielle will guide you through what you really need to take control of yourself, because... if you can't lead yourself, you cannot lead others. What signals does your body sends you when you feel unsafe? Start paying attention to how your "lack if discipline" is really telling you.
