In this episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige unpack why most people struggle to change — even when they want to — and why motivation alone almost always fails.
Using the Tiny Habits framework, they talk through:
Why starting smaller actually leads to bigger results
How identity changes before outcomes do
The role of trust, reassurance, and celebration in behavior change
Why “helping” friends and family often backfires
How to build habits without judgment — for yourself or others
This episode is especially relevant during the holidays, when conversations about fitness, nutrition, and “getting back on track” are unavoidable.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by trying to do everything at once — or frustrated watching someone you care about struggle — this one provides a better way forward.
