Freedom rarely slips away in one dramatic moment; it leaks through a thousand small choices we justify as normal. This week, we get honest about why so many of us circle back to the very patterns that drain us, even when we know better. Through Ana’s story and the familiar ache of leaving and returning, we unpack the quiet force steering those choices: self-worth.

Heather shares why we return to what hurts, how conditional worth keeps us stuck, and why insight alone doesn’t change behavior. We name willingness as the true turning point and share a practical test to help you choose based on your true worth.

We explore:

• website launch, new content, and community support

• recap of Ana’s story and repeating patterns

• self-worth defined and separated from confidence

• why safety feels unfamiliar and love feels conditional

• insight versus action and why knowing isn’t choosing

• willingness as the hinge of change

• the mantra I can and I will

• the choice of someone worthy reframe

• invitation to send questions for the upcoming Q&A

We’re closing with an invitation: We have our new monthly listener Q&A next week, and your voice matters. Send your questions or stories via the Share Your Story button at theriskypath.com or email heather@theriskypath.com.

Why do we keep going back to what we worked so hard to leave?
In this reflective episode of The Free Advantage, Heather Davis unpacks one of the most common and misunderstood parts of healing: returning to old patterns, even after growth.

Building on last week’s powerful conversation with Anna, Heather explores why peace can feel uncomfortable, why safety can feel unfamiliar, and why relapse happens even when life appears to be going well. Through honest insight and lived experience, she reframes relapse not as failure, but as part of the healing process.

✨ Why we return to familiar patterns, even when they hurt
✨ Why peace and stability can feel unsafe to the nervous system
✨ How relapse shows up beyond substances through behaviors, people, and mindsets
✨ The role of triggers, community, and unresolved trauma
✨ Why growth is not linear and returning does not erase progress

If you’ve ever wondered why healing feels harder than expected, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a reminder that you are not alone on your journey to freedom.
