NEW EPISODE! Motivation is a Myth - What works instead.

In this episode, Alison Berrisford breaks down why motivation is unreliable, the science of habit formation, and how to build the discipline that creates lasting results. You’ll learn how to use simple “if-then” plans, why habits can take up to 66 days to stick, and how nearly half your daily actions can become automatic if you do this right.

🎯 Your action step: Pick one habit, make an if-then plan, and stick to it for 7 days.
