You’ve made plans. Set goals. Promised yourself this time would be different—only to find yourself back in the same place again. Sound familiar?

In this episode of Headstraight, we explore why change doesn’t just feel hard—it feels impossible. But here’s the truth: you’re not lazy, broken, or weak. You’re just going up against a brain that’s wired to resist change—even when you want it.

This episode breaks it down:

• Why your brain treats new habits as unsafe—even if they’re healthy
• The identity clash that makes change feel like betrayal
• Why “failure” is often just resistance disguised as protection
• How to shrink your goals to make them feel safe and doable
• What real resilience looks like (hint: it’s not about being perfect)
• Five action steps to start rewiring your habits—today

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I just can’t stick with anything”
• “Why do I always sabotage my progress?”
• “Change feels exhausting and I don’t know why”

…this episode is for you. No fluff. No shame. Just honest insight and simple steps that actually work with your brain—not against it.

Listen now and learn how to make change feel possible—one small move at a time.

• What happens in your brain when you act before you feel ready
• Why “waiting to feel confident” keeps you stuck
• The Micro-Promise Rule: how to build self-trust step by step
