Saying What Matters 5 | Changing the Patterns That Keep You Stuck
Apple Podcasts 
Spotify Change often starts when something no longer feels right, even if you cannot explain why.
In this episode of Saying What Matters, Oren Matteson and Rahsaan Nurullah continue their discussion about personal change, patience, and the patterns that shape how people respond to stress, relationships, and everyday life. Oren reflects on the ongoing lessons that keep showing up for him, especially around patience and the need to understand what is happening beneath the surface before forcing an outcome.
Rahsaan talks about the people who come to him knowing that something feels off, but not always knowing what needs to change. He explains how old nervous system patterns can keep running long after they were first created, and why real change often means identifying the unmet needs, old programming, and childlike responses that still show up in adult life.
