29. Why Resolutions Fail: And What Your Brain Actually Needs Instead


Listen Later

Most women don’t struggle with resolutions because they’re unmotivated...they struggle because traditional resolutions work against how the brain and nervous system were designed to change.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • why big overhauls trigger the nervous system
  • the dopamine drop that shows up around day 5–14
  • the identity shifts that make habits stick
  • how to build goals your brain can actually support
  • the role of repetition, reward, and predictability
  • why starting small (and starting now) creates real momentum

You’ll learn a gentler, more effective way to approach change this year...one rooted in biology, compassion, and faith.

And if you want deeper clarity on your body, your hormones, and your metabolism, make sure you’re on the waitlist for 🔗 The DNA Reset for Fat Loss Academy, where we use advanced DNA testing and comprehensive labs to personalize your health journey.
