Why We Retreat From Change

About this episode

This episode explores the emotional challenges of committing to change and how to navigate the decision-making process effectively.

We often wait until becomes out of control before we commit... only to reverse course the moment the pressure subsides. In this quick, five-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I’ll unpack why the decision point for change is so precarious and what it really takes to help yourself, or someone else, move forward before the moment passes.
