In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jud Brewer to tackle one of the questions I get asked all the time: how long does it really take to change a habit? We dive into the psychology behind why we’re so eager for concrete timelines—whether we’re trying to break a bad habit or build a new one. Dr. Brewer shares key insights from his article on the subject, reminding us that while numbers can feel reassuring, the truth is that habit change looks different for everyone. Join me as we explore the nuances of habit formation and discover what it really takes to create lasting change in your life.
