In S2E5 Catri Barrett speaks to Behavioural Change Specialist, speaker and author, Shahroo Izadi. Shahroo's experience working in the addiction treatment field led her to dedicate her work to highlighting what those in long-term recovery from substance misuse can teach the general population about motivation, self-compassion and self-awareness. She has written two books, The Kindness Method and The Last Diet.
In this episode Catri and Shahroo explore...
• Why it can be so hard to change our habits and behaviours, what we need to know and how we can actually maintain motivation to make long term, positive progress.
