“We are kept from our goal, not by obstacles, but by a clear path to a lesser goal.” — Robert Breault

When I first recorded this podcast episode with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, I was amazed at how relevant and needed this topic is in the health and wellness community.

Many people are held back by their past. Negative food experiences, the social influence of others, and even your environment can prevent you from moving forward with your health goals.

Dr. Hardy shatters the myth that people remain the same.

The freedom to start with a clean slate and rewrite your story is what everyone should grasp on to if they want to build healthy habits and achieve health goals - no matter how big or small those goals may be.

If you don't like who you are today, start working to become your future self!

In this video, I interview Dr. Benjamin Hardy, organizational psychologist and author of the book, Personality Isn't Permanent: Break Free from Self Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story.
