If you've ever wanted to make a change but just couldn't . . . .today's episode is for you.
We're talking with Jaclyn Pritchard — a Registered Dietitian and Behaviour Change Expert at Cleveland Clinic Canada — to unpack behaviour change.
Whether it’s your nutrition, your workouts, or just feeling stuck in a loop of “starting over,” this episode dives into what’s really going on in your brain, why motivation alone isn’t enough, and how to work with your habits instead of constantly fighting them.
Jaclyn’s approach is compassionate, realistic, and full of strategies that actually work — even if you’ve tried and failed before.
We’re Covering:
- Why knowing what to do isn't the same as being able to do it
- What the “trans-theoretical model of change” is and how it can help you
- The surprising role your unconscious mind plays in daily decisions
- Why “falling off track” is actually part of the process
- How to rewire your brain with simple tools like habit tracking, repetition, and self-talk
- Nighttime snacking, environmental triggers, and what to do instead
- How to find (and keep sight of) your “why”
- Jaclyn’s feelgood thing
If you’ve ever felt like you were the problem, like change just doesn’t stick for you, or like self-compassion just isn’t in your DNA—this one will reframe the way you see it all.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
