What if your habit “failures” aren’t a character flaw—but a predictable brain response? In Mind Over Matter, hosted by Nazish, we unpack why most habit systems collapse and what it actually takes to build change that lasts.

This episode is for anyone tired of starting strong, falling off by week two, and spiraling into guilt. Roger Webb explains why boredom, shame-driven streaks, and over-sized goals sabotage progress—and how randomness, micro-actions, and healthy dopamine rewards can make habits feel human again.

Roger Webb has spent over 30 years studying the subconscious mind and human behavior through coaching, leadership, and entrepreneurship. He’s a single dad of five, has helped 15,000+ people create sustainable change, and created the neuroscience-inspired Random Habit app.
