The Self-Improvement Trap: Why More Learning Isn’t the Answer With Corbin Bruckshaw

Episode 310 Published 3 hours ago
Description

You know what you want to change. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts and made the plans, but taking action still feels hard. So what’s getting in the way?

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I sit down with behavioural coach and Let’s Get Human founder Corbin Bruckshaw to explore the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

We talk about values, identity, self-sabotage and the pressure to chase goals that might not be our own. Corbin also opens up about how his fear of getting things wrong held him back, despite spending years learning about the very things he wanted to help others with.

One of my favourite parts of this conversation is the shift from asking what we want to looking at how we’re actually living. We explore space, time, energy and money as starting points for that reflection, then bring it back to practical examples of getting started in the gym, in business and in everyday life.

- Values and motivation: Looking beyond the goals we think we should want.
- The self-improvement trap: When learning more becomes a way of delaying action.
- Fear and confidence: Corbin’s experience of waiting to feel ready.
- Habits and identity: Starting small and following through on manageable commitments.
- Mentorship and comparison: Learning from others without expecting your day one to look like their year ten.

If you’ve been waiting to feel more confident, more prepared or more certain before you begin, I hope this conversation gives you something useful to reflect on and put into practice.
