The Science of Habits : Why Some Are So Hard to Break (And What to Do About It) w/ Lesley Logan


Listen Later

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of habits that you can’t see to break, no matter how much you want to? Maybe it’s late-night snacking, doom-scrolling on your phone, or hitting snooze for the third time when you swore you’d wake up early. You’ve tried willpower, motivation, even color-coded planners… but nothing sticks.

In this episode, I’m joined by Lesley Logan—Pilates instructor, mindset coach, and habit formation expert—to dig into the real reasons behind our habits. Spoiler: it’s not about being lazy or lacking discipline.

Lesley reveals how every habit we have—yes, even the “bad” ones—serve a purpose. And the key isn’t to force yourself to stop; it’s to understand why the habit exists and replace it with something that truly works for you.

What you’ll learn:

  • The hidden why behind your habits (and why shaming yourself won’t help).
  • How to identify and replace habits that don’t align with the life you want.
  • Practical strategies to start small and stay consistent—even when life gets busy.
  • Why discomfort is not your enemy and how it can lead to real growth.
  • The surprising role of self-care and rethinking “selfishness” in habit formation.

This episode is like a loving nudge and a strategy session rolled into one. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, Lesley’s insights will help you approach your habits with more compassion—and a plan that actually works.
