You know what you want to change. So why is it still so hard to actually do it?
Maybe you want to break a habit, get out of a relationship that isn’t good for you, become more consistent, or finally stop falling back into the same patterns.
You’ve probably told yourself you need more discipline. More motivation. More willpower.
But what if that’s not actually the problem?
In today’s conversation, we sit down with author, coach, and host of The One You Feed podcast, Eric Zimmer, to unpack why lasting change is a skill you can learn, and why struggling to change doesn’t mean you’re lazy, weak, or incapable.
Eric Zimmer | The One You Feed Media knows this firsthand. At 24, he was homeless, addicted to he**in, and facing the possibility of decades in prison. He got sober, relapsed eight years later when everything in his life looked successful from the outside, and has now been completely clean for 18 years.
And what he’s learned about change completely challenges the way most of us approach it.
You’re going to learn:
- How to get back on track without turning one setback into a spiral
- How to stop forcing goals that don’t fit your life
- Why smaller goals can actually create bigger, longer-lasting change
- How to make a change before your life hits rock bottom
- When you should push toward a goal and when you should let it go
- How to stop letting self-doubt talk you out of doing what you know you need to do
- Signs that a relationship is holding you back
If there’s something in your life you’ve been trying to change, this conversation will help you understand what’s actually getting in the way and what to do next.
