Clarity on Fire

Make big changes without force or willpower with Amy Johnson, Ph.D.


Listen Later

If there's one thing literally everyone has in common, it's the desire for something in your life (maybe many things) to be different.

Humans aren't satisfied (cue Hamilton: I will never be satisfied!! 🎶) by nature. As much as we might resist change, we also deeply crave it.

But we're also not great at making change! We have a lot of assumptions about how to do it, most of which don't actually work.

So, in this month's brand-new interview with an expert, Rachel sits down with Amy Johnson, Ph.D., to talk about how to make big change without having to force anything or exert a ton of willpower.

Listen in as they got into …

  • How Amy broke free of a lifetime of anxiety and an 8-year struggle with an eating disorder, using an approach that's simple but very powerful
  • Why it's not necessary (or helpful) to rely on our mind/thoughts when trying to change, and what to lean on instead
  • Amy's take on things like intrusive thoughts, beating yourself up, and wishing things could be different than they are
  • And a LOT more!

This was a really interesting and profound conversation. We can't wait for you to hear it!
