In this transformative episode of The Habit Healers Podcast, host Dr. Laurie Marbas welcomes one of the most influential voices in behavior science: Dr. BJ Fogg, founder of the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and author of the groundbreaking book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything.

With decades of research and thousands of real-life coaching experiences under his belt, Dr. Fogg unpacks why small, intentional actions—not motivation or willpower—are the true catalysts for lasting behavior change.

Together, they explore:

* How tiny habits can quickly shift your identity

* Why starting small leads to big, lasting transformation

* The science behind behavior design—and what most people get wrong

* How social connection shapes (and strengthens) our habits

* The true origin story of Instagram—and how it started in BJ’s class

* What “you’re right” can do for your closest relationships

* How Habit Songs for Kids are planting the seeds of change in the next generation

Whether you’re working on reversing chronic disease, transforming your lifestyle, or simply trying to stick to a new routine, this episode is your reminder that you’re only one healing habit away—and it doesn’t have to be hard.
