We all know what we “should” be doing to feel better, eat healthier, sleep more, stress less, move your body, but why is it so hard to actually do it?

Today Susan and Kate are talking about the real reasons we stay stuck in habits and environments that don’t support our health… and what it actually takes to create lasting change at the genetic level.

They explore how fear, resistance, and old stories, whether rooted in trauma, biology, or autopilot living, keep us in our comfort zone, even when that zone is anything but comfortable. And they share actionable, compassionate strategies to help you take the first small step toward a better future.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why we often choose the “familiar discomfort” over the “unfamiliar possibility”
• How each health type responds differently to change (and why that matters)
• The biological, psychological, and emotional blocks that keep us stuck
• Simple, sustainable lifestyle changes that actually move the needle
• How one decision, just one, can shift your entire genetic expression
  
  
  

Whether you’re ready to make a major life pivot or just want to feel more like yourself again, this episode will meet you where you are—and give you the insight, tools, and inspiration to take the next step.

Listen now and start shifting your inner and outer environment to create real, lasting change.
