Description

In this episode, James cracks open the neuroscience of getting unstuck. From the hidden "week three crash" that derails even the best intentions… to the looping brain patterns that keep you repeating the same habits, fights, and frustrations… to the surprising reason motivation always fades (and what your brain is really trying to do), this conversation blows up the myths about willpower and reveals what actually works. You'll learn why "fresh starts" are free motivation… why belonging beats motivation every time… and how to tap into self-directed neuroplasticity to make changes that stick. If you've ever wondered, "Why can't I just do the thing?"—this episode will hit home in the best possible way. Bring a habit, a relationship pattern, or a work struggle you can't shake. James shows you exactly where the science unlocks your next breakthrough.
