If you’ve ever felt frustrated or discouraged by breaking resolutions, this episode reframes the entire conversation. The issue isn’t discipline or motivation. It’s that most of us were never taught how to lead ourselves in a way that works with how our brains actually operate.
In this episode, we explore how self-leadership really works, why autopilot takes over under stress, and how identity, environment, and mental priming shape your daily choices. You’ll walk away with practical tools to take back control of your habits, stop relying on willpower, and start building change that feels sustainable, intentional, and aligned with the person you want to become.
