Description

Your brain doesn’t care if a habit helps you or harms you—it just loves the loop. In this episode, Sam dives into why we stay stuck in patterns that don’t serve us, and how to begin rewiring your brain to create better ones. From taking out the trash to building new neural pathways, discover how small commitments build confidence, momentum, and self-respect. If you’ve ever struggled to keep promises to yourself, this episode will show you how to start changing that today.
