What if slowing down is the secret to getting ahead?

Michelle sits down with neuroscientist Michelle Baty to explore the powerful paradox of progress: Slower is Faster. 

In a world obsessed with speed and efficiency, Michelle Baty breaks down the neuroscience behind why real, lasting change comes not from pushing harder, but from being in the right neurological state. 

They dive into the two fundamental states of the nervous system—Protective vs. Connective—and how recognizing these states can help us break free from self-sabotage, build resilience, and finally make the changes that stick. 

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

03:20 – The “Slower is Faster” Effect: Why more effort isn’t always better

13:51 – Self-sabotage or survival? The truth about why we revert to old patterns

23:21 – The hidden stressors that make transformation harder

26:33 – The Catch-22 of Change: Why you need energy to build energy
