What if your habits didn’t rely on willpower at all?
We dive into the overlooked superpower of behavior change. Instead of forcing motivation, we focus on removing friction: the tiny barriers that keep you from starting. Along the way, we unpack real stories that show how visibility, proximity, and preloaded steps consistently beat discipline.
Angela shares how a 25-year exercise streak survives busy seasons and travel by relying on zero-friction options.
We look at how a single choice transforms eating habits without any extra effort. Then we jump to the desk: a client’s under-desk treadmill gathers dust until we this, turning intention into daily miles. Another leader’s “progress and purpose” team check-ins finally happen once we write a short script.
Same people, same goals—new environments that make action obvious.
You’ll learn practical ways to make good choices inevitable.
By shrinking the setup and clarifying the first move, you eliminate decision fatigue and let systems do the heavy lifting. The result is consistency that feels natural, not forced.
If you’re ready to trade heroic effort for smart design, this conversation will give you the playbook: reduce friction, set gentle defaults, and build surroundings that pull you forward.
Listen now, try one change today, and tell us what you removed to make your next good choice automatic. If this helped, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s striving for better habits.
