The Power of 1
Sponsor: U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs Biorepository Brain Bank

Sometimes, the healing journey can feel overwhelming—like there’s so much to do and not enough energy to do it. When the road stretches out in front of us with weeks or months of effort, it can feel daunting, even setting us up to feel like we’re falling behind. But what if we paused… and shifted our focus? What if success wasn’t about doing everything, but about doing one thing, one micro-action at a time?
In this episode, we explore personal stories and practical strategies about the Power of One—how small, consistent actions can create momentum and build sustainable healing. We explore the psychology behind micro-consistency and why it’s often more effective than chasing big changes all at once.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why “overwhelm creep” happens—and how to avoid it
✨ How to reframe success as one small, doable action
✨ The science behind habit stacking and trauma-informed pacing
✨ Why rhythm matters more than routine in healing
✨ How healing isn’t linear, but cyclical—and why that’s okay
I'll also guide listeners through a reflective practice and offers examples of simple “Power of One” actions you can start today, like:
✔️ One glass of water
✔️ One 10-minute walk
✔️ One minute of journaling
✔️ One self-care ritual before bedtime
✔️ One hour free from screens
✔️ One thing done just for fun
Plus, you’ll hear 5 grounding mantras to support your daily rhythm and stay connected to your “why.”
