If you've ever started the year motivated, only to feel tired, resistant, or strangely avoidant a few weeks later, this episode is for you.
Most conversations about New Year's resolutions focus on discipline, willpower, or motivation. But what if that's not what's actually getting in the way?
In this episode, we explore why your nervous system, not your mindset, is often the deciding factor in whether change sticks. You'll hear why familiar stress can feel safer than unfamiliar growth, what's really happening when motivation disappears, and why pushing harder often backfires.
How your body responds to change and how to work with it instead of against it is what this is all about.
If you're ready to approach goals without burning yourself out, this episode offers a different starting point.
