Welcome to the second part of our 3-part series on behaviour hacks. This series is about helping you overcome those stubborn blocks that prevent you from making the changes you desire in your life. Whether it's starting a new habit or quitting an old one, we'll break it down into actionable steps.


This episode is Part 2 of our Behaviour Hack series, where we explore why we often struggle to start the things we say we want to do. We're unpacking the internal and external influences that play a role in our behaviours. If you missed Part 1, make sure to go back and listen—it sets the stage for today's discussion.
