The Reset You Actually Need - Day 2. You Don't Need a New Life, You Need New Standards
The Reset You Actually Need – Day 2
Feeling like you need to change everything to finally feel better?
In Day 2 of The Reset You Actually Need, we explore why most people don’t actually need a dramatic reinvention they need higher standards for what they allow, tolerate, and repeatedly recover from.
This episode breaks down:
Why dissatisfaction is often a standards issue, not a life problem
How low standards quietly drain energy, confidence
Why raising standards isn’t about being rigid or “too much”
How to upgrade your internal rules without changing your entire life
If you’ve been fantasising about starting over, quitting everything, or becoming someone else, this conversation will help you see what actually needs to change.
This is a grounded, psychology-led reset for people who want improvement without chaos.
This episode is part of a 10-day mini-series designed to help you start the year with clarity, calm confidence, and better self-leadership. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Reset You Actually Need - Day 1. How to stop feeling stuck by changing your state
Bonjour 2026!
Its that time again where we hit the ground running with a January mini series. For the next 10 days (week days that is) I will be releasing a slightly shorter episode daily to get you into a healthier and more balanced headspace to feel like yourself and on the right path for the year and for any other time.
Today I discuss why it is that you can feel so stuck and how that impacts your ability to move forward with problem solving and goal setting, and how changing your state can help move you forward in the calmest way possible.
Enjoy my little beans!
