Most habits aren't random or self-sabotaging. They're signals. In this episode, I explore the deeper needs and desires hidden beneath your habits and why understanding those needs is one of the most overlooked keys to lasting habit change. When you only focus on stopping a behavior, you miss the reason it's there in the first place.
I explain how habits like procrastination, self-criticism, people pleasing, numbing, overthinking, and comparison often develop as solutions to something deeper. You'll learn a simple three-step process to identify the need beneath any habit so you can address the root cause instead of fighting the symptom.
