The Psychology of Discipline | Featuring Dr. Janette Edwards
Why is it so hard to stick with the very things we say we want? From abandoned goals to broken resolutions, so many of us struggle to stay consistent — and end up blaming ourselves in the process. In this powerful and insightful episode, we take a deeper look at what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Joining the conversation is Dr. Janette Edwards, Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who brings a rich clinical and spiritual perspective to the science behind discipline. Together, we explore the psychological and emotional factors that affect follow-through, motivation, and long-term change. Dr. Edwards breaks down how our brains, past experiences, and even stress responses play a role in why discipline can feel so difficult.
But this episode goes beyond productivity hacks and willpower. Dr. Edwards also speaks to the importance of grace, forgiveness, and understanding our shared human frailty. If you’ve ever been hard on yourself — or others — for falling short, this conversation offers a refreshing and compassionate perspective on growth, healing, and extending the same patience to others that we so desperately need ourselves.
This episode is for anyone who: starts strong but struggles to stay consistent; feels frustrated with their lack of follow-through; wants a healthier, more compassionate view of discipline; is learning how to give themselves — and others — grace.
Tune in for a conversation that blends science, self-awareness, and spirit.
