Tiny Steps, Massive Momentum: what 90% of people do wrong trying to improve health, diet & fitness

Angela Shurina Season 2025

TUNE IN TO LEARN:  

We've all been there—vowing to completely transform our diet, fitness routine, and sleep habits all at once, only to abandon the whole plan days later.  

What if the problem isn't your willpower but your approach?   

In this eye-opening exploration of behavioral change, we explore why our brains actively resist massive lifestyle overhauls and how tiny, almost ridiculously small steps might be the secret to lasting transformation

Drawing from the Japanese concept of Kaizen (continuous improvement through small steps), I explain the fascinating neuroscience behind why your brain treats big changes as threats.  

The solution?  

Actions so small they fly completely under your brain's radar. 

Whether you're struggling with personal health goals or leading organizational change, this episode offers an evolutionary framework for making progress without triggering resistance.  

You can change your life.  
Just not one leap.
