EPISODE 128: Your Brain Isn't Wired for Change. It's Wired for Comfort. (How to Break the Cycle Anyway)

Ever notice how right before you're about to make a change in your life, your brain immediately comes up with a thousand reasons why you shouldn't?

That's fear. Your brain's only job is to keep you safe and familiar, not happy or fulfilled. That's why you keep going back to the same diets and rules that have already failed you, over and over.

Same fear that keeps people stuck in jobs or relationships they've outgrown. It shows up at your dinner table too.

Coach Steph and I get into why your brain hands you a pile of excuses the second you try something different, even after what you're doing now hasn't worked.

I also share the scariest thing I've ever done (quit my career, sold everything, moved to NYC with two suitcases) and what it taught me about acting scared instead of waiting for the fear to pass.

What you'll get:

Why your brain fights change, even good change
How to tell real intuition from fear in disguise
Why more of what hasn't worked won't get you anywhere new
What it feels like when food stops taking up so much space in your head

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Pick one thing and use it tonight.
