227. Evolution; beyond sobriety with Lucy Quick

In this episode, I catch up with the incredible Dr. Luke Sniewski to talk about triggers and change. We delve into why change can be such a challenge and how we can navigate it without just swapping one bad habit for another. We talk about how change  only happens when we are triggered, viewing these triggers as opportunities for growth. We chat about how our nervous system influences our choices and the various factors that come into play.   We explore our personal experiences with change and why practices like meditation and finding inner calm are crucial. Additionally, we share tips for handling triggers effectively and stress the importance of staying connected to our bodies for lasting change. We also chat about how celebrating our wins helps to cement change. 
At the end of the day, if we want change we have to put everything we are learning into practice.  We can't change if we don't try.  We won't change it we don't start taking the road less travelled.
