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.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
