282 - Why Behavior Change Sucks (And Why That's Actually Normal)
Episode description
Behavior change is hard - really, really hard. In this episode, Maggie gets real about why changing your habits feels impossible and shares her own current struggles with nervous system regulation. She explains how your brain and body will literally fight you when you try to change, throwing what she calls "the biggest tantrum" to keep you stuck in familiar patterns. But here's the thing: understanding why your brain does this actually makes the whole process less terrifying and more manageable. If you've ever wondered why you keep going back to old habits even when you know better, this episode will help you understand what's really happening inside your head.
