Why do good habits feel so hard—even when we "want" them? We start this episode by naming the thing most people never say out loud: shame. Shame about inconsistency. Shame about "knowing better" but not doing better. And how that shame quietly fuels the internal battle we have with ourselves during habit change. From there, we unpack why that struggle doesn't mean you're broken. We explore intrinsic motivation, why new habits feel awkward by design, how to piggyback on habits you already have, and why environment beats discipline almost every time. We also touch on one of the hardest human questions: what to share, what to hold, and how discernment—not disclosure—is often the real work of healing and change.
