If you’ve ever wondered why you don’t follow through on things you truly want — going vegan, strengthening your body, decluttering your home, writing your book, or simply showing up as the version of yourself you keep imagining — today’s episode is for you..
Michele breaks down one of the most overlooked truths about personal growth:
The hardest part of change isn’t doing the thing. The hardest part of change is remembering — TODAY — to DO the thing.
Michele reveals why intention and action so often drift apart. Where she saw it in her own life, and why it’s not a character flaw.
Inside this episode:
Why your brain quietly renegotiates your plans
Habit loops: why your new routines don’t feel automatic
The Doorway Effect: how walking from one room to another resets your memory
Prospective memory failure: why we forget to remember, even with the best intentions
Spaced repetition: how learning — and change — need time
You’ll learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, how to create simple cues that support the person you’re becoming, and how to release the shame around forgetting. Because forgetting isn’t failure.
This week’s challenge: Choose one thing you meant to do today and create one cue you’ll see tomorrow — a note by the coffee maker, a reminder on your phone, a visible tool or ingredient — something that makes remembering easier and forgetting harder.
Small cues + gentle repetition = meaningful change.
Want support building the life you imagine? Coaching offers the structure, reminders, and accountability that help your brain learn new patterns. Because how you go vegan is how you do everything.
Thanks for listening, and as always… Vedge Your Best.
