Real change isn’t just about willpower - it’s a process backed by science. Lisa Firestone, Ph.D., explores psychologist Dr. John Norcross’s research on the five stages of change, from precontemplation to maintenance, revealing why people self-sabotage and how to break the cycle. By understanding these stages and silencing the “critical inner voice,” you can create lasting, meaningful transformation.

Quotes to ponder:
"You differentiate from old influences or identities and become your true self."
"Change is rarely linear; there are twists and turns."
"The critical inner voice will initially get louder but, like that witch, the voice will slowly melt away, as they persevere in their goals."
