Ever felt like self-improvement is just too much work? Like the idea of “getting better” makes you want to take a nap instead? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re breaking down why personal growth doesn’t have to feel like an exhausting full-time job—and how tiny, effortless shifts can actually make the biggest impact.
We’ll talk about:
🩷 Why people make self-improvement harder than it needs to be
🩷 The difference between willpower and discipline (and why you need less of both than you think)
🩷 How to make progress 1% easier instead of trying to change everything at once
🩷 The sneaky feel-good habits you don’t want to admit actually work
Spoiler: Real change isn’t about suffering—it’s about setting yourself up for success. And sometimes, all it takes is one ridiculously uplifting song to turn your whole day around.
