        Here’s what we got into in the interview:

        • What she was skeptical about before joining the program

        • Kathryn’s biggest breakthrough

        • EP 125 - Mindset Around Behaviour Change w/Dr Karin Nordin

          On today’s episode of the Strong Jon Fitness Podcast, we’re joined by Dr Karin Nordin.

          Karin is a loving dog mom, funfetti flavor super-fan, and self-help book encyclopedia… and she also happens to be a PhD expert in health behavior change and published mindset theory researcher. After graduating with her doctorate, Karin had a striking realization: The typical self-help and productivity approaches of the personal development industry were shockingly inconsistent with the actual research on change. That inconsistency became the fuel for her business Body Brain Alliance, where she’s on a mission to teach compassion-first change techniques that help dedicated self-improvers become their 2.0 selves.

          As part of that mission, Body Brain Alliance provides programs for change enthusiasts, as well as high-level education on curriculum design and coaching practices for impact-first entrepreneurs. To make it simple: We teach people to change, and we teach coaches how to teach people to change

          Here’s what we got into in the interview:

          • How Karin got started with behaviour change

          • What people get wrong with behaviour change

          • Setting and changing expectations

          • Behaviour change for busy people who get overwhelmed with life 

          • And so much more!
