Forget the dramatic gestures and 30-day challenges you see on social media. Real resilience isn't built through one big moment of change - it's forged through the small things you do every single day.

In this episode, I share my personal journey of failed attempts at quitting smoking and drinking through grand announcements, and how I finally succeeded by embracing daily practice and learning from failure. You'll discover why those "movie moment" transformations don't work and what actually does.

What You'll Learn:

• Why big, sweeping gestures fail every time

• How daily habits create unshakeable resilience

• The power of "fail and start again" mentality

• How to build routines that anchor you during chaos

• Why doing hard things daily teaches you that you can do hard things

• The two-fold benefit of daily habits for resilience

Key Takeaways:

• Start small (5 minutes of meditation, not hours)
• Focus on 2-3 habits maximum when beginning
• Ask yourself: "What would the person I want to become do daily?"
• Use failure as data, not defeat
• Build your routine as something to fall back on during tough times

I currently track a bunch of daily habits using Habitica, and these small consistent actions have completely transformed my life - from getting kicked out of college multiple times to becoming a successful coach and therapist.

Next Episode Preview: We're diving deep into how failure actually builds resilience and why embracing your failures is the key to becoming unstoppable.
