Modern self-improvement culture teaches intensity: push harder, optimize faster, do more.
The nervous system hears something else: threat. In this episode, we explore why sustainable change depends on consistency, not effort spikes. When change is gradual and predictable, the brain interprets it as safe — allowing new behaviors to settle instead of triggering resistance. You’ll learn:

• why intensity often backfires at a biological level
• how repetition signals safety to the nervous system
• why progress sticks when it feels normal, not heroic
• how reducing friction matters more than increasing motivation

Real change doesn’t arrive through force.
It arrives when the body stops bracing.
