If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why is it so hard to change—even when I really want to?” you’re not alone. In this episode of Your Courageous Life, we’re unpacking the deeper reasons behind resistance to change—and why willpower and discipline aren’t the real answers.

Change can feel hard not because you're lazy or unmotivated, but because your brain is wired to prioritize safety over growth. Old habits, fears, and limiting beliefs often work behind the scenes, convincing you to stay in the familiar—even when it’s uncomfortable.

We’ll explore how the nervous system, emotional patterns, and fear-based stories contribute to stuckness, and how to gently shift those patterns using tools rooted in courage and compassion. You’ll learn how to work with discomfort (instead of trying to eliminate it), and how to create meaningful, sustainable change from the inside out.

This episode is for anyone navigating a transition, craving personal growth, or feeling frustrated by the cycle of starting over. If you want to understand the psychology behind change—and feel empowered to move through it—this one’s for you.
