How to Finally Make Lasting Changes in Exercise and Eating with Michelle Segar [Episode 1]

Hey!

On today's ep I'm interviewing the incredible Michelle Segar. Michelle is an award-winning, NIH-funded researcher at the University of Michigan with almost thirty years studying how to help people adopt exercise and physical activity in ways that bring meaning and joy, and can be sustained within the complexity and unpredictability of the real world.

We talk about self-control, good “whys”, how to get motivated to workout, flexibility in behaviour change, reframing shoulds and how to enjoy exercise.
