Overthinkers vs. under-feelers: feel to heal

We all have that one thing we're avoiding right now. Whether it's hitting the gym, starting that side hustle, or finally getting to bed at a reasonable hour—we keep putting it off even though we know it's exactly what we need to level up our lives. And trust me, I get it, Netflix and cozy blankets are calling my name too.

But here's the really exciting thing—I sat down with the absolutely brilliant Kati Morton (she's THE expert on making hard things easier, with a master's from Pepperdine University and an incredible way of breaking down complex psychology into doable steps). We dove deep into why our brains resist change so much and, more importantly, how to actually get ourselves to do those big, scary things that lead to massive transformation.

If you've ever felt stuck between knowing what you should do and actually doing it, this episode is going to be a game-changer. It's packed with those practical, science-backed strategies we love, but delivered in a way that feels like chatting with your smartest friend.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The shocking truth about comfort zones (and why "self-care" might actually be holding you back)

• Why waiting for motivation is literally the worst strategy - plus what actually works

• How perfectionism is sneakily sabotaging you (and what to do about it)

• The game-changing "overthinker to action-taker" framework

• My favorite cookie-based courage-building hack (yes, really)

• A 5-minute trick to completely transform your schedule
