Behavior Is Evidence | Stop Judging Yourself and Start Investigating

About this podcast

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.
