Summary
In this enlightening episode of the We Are Women Podcast , I speak with Adele Spraggon — an award-winning author, thought leader, and internationally recognized behavioral change expert who is transforming the way we think about the brain and personal empowerment. Adele knows firsthand what it feels like to be stuck in patterns that don’t serve us. After experiencing panic attacks and realizing she was running on autopilot, she began a journey to understand how the brain creates, repeats, and holds us in patterns of behavior. What she discovered changed her life — and has since changed the lives of thousands of people around the world. Through her bestselling book, Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment , and her unique four-step method rooted in neuroplasticity, Adele helps individuals deconstruct old patterns, rewire their brains, and create new, empowering ways of thinking and acting. Her framework — Action, Behaviour, Belief — guides people to: Identify their patterns Own them Deconstruct them Create new ones that support growth and success Our conversation dives into why willpower alone doesn’t work, the importance of subtracting rather than adding to overcome challenges, and how we can learn to embrace uncertainty without fear. Adele also unpacks some of the most common behavioral patterns she sees in women — including people pleasing, conflict avoidance, and rescuing — and how to break free from them.
