HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE

Why haven’t I changed, when I want to so much? How can I overcome my resistance to change? How can I create lasting change? Are these some questions you find yourself asking every time you look at your life and career goals? Today we take a deep look into the Change Formula, which is a groundbreaking method that, when implemented correctly, helps you create sustainable, lasting change. We have free will, and taking 100% responsibility for how we show up is key to this process. Resistance to change is real – we are humans who are always going to seek stability. But, with the foundational knowledge of the Change Formula, it is possible to overcome resistance to change. You are allowed to stay the same. And you are allowed to change. And you are allowed to choose which path you want without any guilt or shame or remorse. You are allowed to achieve the change you’ve been wanting and this episode will show you how.
