Everyone loves a good habit but what's the science that makes some work and others not so much?
Real growth isn’t about lightning bolts, but the quiet art of consistency.
In this episode, we zoom out to see habits not as chores, but as choices that shape our identities, day after day. Ancient stoics, modern neuroscientists, even a friend and his broken snack safe remind us: transformation is gentle, cumulative, and surprisingly within reach.
We can challenge the myth that willpower is enough and find out what is.
- Begin by rewiring your narrative—habits are identity, not just tasks.
- Build change into your environment, not just your to-do list.
- Give yourself permission to stumble, reflect, and keep moving forward.
