Unshakeable Belief with Monica Connolly

About Unshakeable Belief with Monica Connolly

What if the behavior you’ve been judging isn’t the problem? What if it’s a clue? Behavior Leaves Clues is a podcast about getting curious about why we do what we do. Hosted by speaker and bestselling author Monica Azoulay, each episode explores the patterns, beliefs, emotions, experiences, and stories that shape our behavior and the way we see ourselves. Why do we keep repeating a pattern we know isn’t serving us? Where did a belief about ourselves begin? What might be underneath the need to control, overthink, people-please, shut down, or get everything exactly right? Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” we ask better questions. What happened before this?Where did I learn this?What belief might be underneath it?What could this behavior be protecting?What evidence supports—or challenges—the story I’ve been telling myself? Some episodes will be personal conversations between you and Monica. Others will bring experts and guests into the investigation. Together, we’ll look closer at the evidence—not to judge the behavior, but to understand it. Because when we understand what’s underneath our patterns, we get to decide what we want to carry forward and what we’re ready to change. Behavior leaves clues. Let’s follow the evidence.

   When Preparation Becomes Control | Behavior Leaves Clues

   What happens when you've prepared for everything, but suddenly realize you can't control how things will unfold? In this episode of Behavior Leaves Clues, Monica Azoulay shares a vulnerable moment backstage before opening an event. She had practiced her talk, prepared every detail, and was ready to step onto the stage. But just minutes before her introduction, she realized she couldn't deliver the polished version she'd rehearsed. With the support and prayer of a friend, Monica made a different choice: she would put down the script and speak from her heart. That experience revealed something deeper about her relationship with preparation, perfectionism, and control. Sometimes being prepared is about doing our best. Other times, it can also be about trying to manage how others see us. Through personal storytelling and thoughtful reflection, Monica explores the difference between being prepared and needing everything to be perfect, why vulnerability can feel uncomfortable even when we're confident in our abilities, and what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to be seen without controlling every detail. This episode invites you to get curious about the moments when you work hardest to appear as though you have everything handled. Because sometimes the behavior worth investigating isn't what we do when things go wrong. It's how hard we work to make sure nobody sees us figuring things out. Behavior leaves clues.

   Welcome to Behavior Leaves Clues

   Welcome to Behavior Leaves Clues What happens when someone who loves having a plan says yes to something completely unexpected? For me, it meant getting into a hot air balloon despite being terrified of heights! In this episode, I'm sharing a little more about who I am and what a spontaneous adventure taught me about control, curiosity, and making room for experiences I can't plan in advance. We'll talk about the difference between being prepared and needing certainty, why we sometimes feel we have to earn rest or enjoyment, and how the familiar roles we've assigned ourselves can keep us from discovering something new. Because behavior doesn't just leave clues about where we've been. It can also show us what's becoming possible. Learning to say yes without knowing the ending The difference between preparation and control Making room for joy, connection, and rest Questioning the identities we've grown comfortable with The difference between being visible and being known Recognizing behavior as evidence of growth Where in your life might you be waiting to know the ending before you're willing to begin? Next week, we're going backstage to a moment when my carefully prepared plan fell apart and I had to confront how much I wanted to control the way others saw me. I'm Monica Azoulay, a keynote speaker, bestselling author, podcast host, and Behavior & Identity Investigator. Through my speaking, writing, and podcasts, I explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape who we become—and how we can consciously choose what comes next.

   Episode 1 — Introducing Behavior Leaves Clues

   What if the behavior you’ve been judging isn’t the problem—but a clue? Welcome to the very first episode of Behavior Leaves Clues. In this opening conversation, Monica Azoulay shares why she created the show, what the name Behavior Leaves Clues means, and why understanding behavior requires more than simply looking at what someone does. Monica explores some of the patterns she has begun looking at differently in her own life—including control, perfectionism, self-reliance, preparation, and independence—and the question that has changed the way she approaches them: What is this behavior trying to protect or provide? In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why a behavior is a clue, not a conclusion The difference between choosing a behavior and feeling like you have to do it Why the same behavior can mean different things for different people Looking beneath the labels we’ve carried about ourselves What to expect from future episodes of Behavior Leaves Clues What this transition means for longtime Unshakeable Belief listeners This isn’t about finding something wrong with you. It’s about getting curious enough to understand more of the story. Behavior leaves clues. Let’s follow the evidence. New episodes every Wednesday.
