Welcome Back to Holistic Wednesdays!
Season 3 is officially here, and we are diving deep into the science and soul of transformation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re in a tug-of-war with your own mind every January, this episode is for you.
In our season premiere, "Why Your Subconscious Hates Your Resolution," Amy and Shelly pull back the curtain on the biological and psychological walls we hit when we try to change. We aren't lazy or unmotivated; we are often just biologically wired for the status quo.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Words of the Year: We kick off the season by sharing the personal intentions guiding our 2026.
The Safety Loop & Secondary Gain: Why does your brain cling to "bad" habits? We discuss the hidden benefits your subconscious gets from keeping things the same and how to coach yourself out of the "Safety Loop."
The 5-Minute Rule: A simple, nervous-system-friendly tool to prevent overwhelm and keep your body out of "fight or flight" mode during change.
Listener Q&A: We answer your burning questions about staying on track when life gets messy.
Experience the Change: Guided Visualization
We wrap up the core discussion with a powerful 6-minute guided meditation. Instead of white-knuckling your way through a resolution, you’ll be guided to meet the part of you that is resisting. You’ll learn how to thank that part for its protection—shifting from a state of internal conflict to internal cooperation.
The Weekly Challenge: The 90% Rule
We’re ending the "all or nothing" cycle. Your challenge this week:
Pick one resolution you’ve struggled with.
Reduce it by 90%.
Commit to that very, very tiny version for seven straight days.
"Change isn't about breaking yourself; it's about befriending the parts of you that are scared to grow."
