Description

Be honest, how many times have you started a new habit, felt really motivated for a week or two… and then slowly let it slide? You’re not alone. In fact, most of us fall into the same common traps when trying to make habits stick.

In this episode, I unpack the four biggest barriers that stop habits in their tracks:
🧠 Cognitive barriers – the beliefs and misconceptions that hold us back
🏠 Environmental barriers – the way our surroundings either support or sabotage us
👯 Social barriers – the influence of people around us (for better or worse)
🔥 Motivational barriers – why we lose steam, even with the best intentions

More importantly, I’ll share simple, actionable ways to overcome these challenges from reducing friction and making habits obvious, to pairing them with things you enjoy and tracking your wins.

If you’re tired of starting habits that never last, this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need to finally make them stick.
