Why do we treat workouts, journaling, reading, and eating healthy like optional chores — but stress out over paying bills or going to work? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why the things that move our lives forward usually feel boring, hard, or unimportant in the moment...and how we can trick ourselves into doing them consistently.

You’ll hear about the invisible “debt” we rack up when we skip out on personal growth, and how over time, it leads to self-resentment and self-sabotage. Plus, I’ll share real strategies that helped me turn working out, reading, and eating better into things I actually look forward to — by using instant gratification and the Pavlov effect.

Whether you’re struggling to stay consistent or just want to make discipline feel a little easier, this one’s for you. It’s time to stop making deals you can’t pay back with yourself, and start setting yourself up for real wins.
