This episode is a special one because it is based on a question from a listener! The question has to do with the willingness (or, in this case, the unwillingness) to embrace change. You may not want to change if you have a bad or unhealthy habit that you just aren’t ready to quit yet. Or, maybe your feelings towards someone else need to change, but you aren’t sure if you’re ready to do so. Regardless of the circumstances, we have all encountered times when we are not ready or don’t want to change. We’re going to show you how this can actually be a healthy statement and how you can move forward.
