Summary

How much can you change your brain in 30 days? I want to help you find out. While we love an incrementalist approach to discussing thought work on this podcast (the step by step is everything around here), make no mistake: it's also possible to experience huge change quickly with these principles. I'll tell you exactly how on this episode -- with an invitation to join me for a 30-day challenge to experience it for yourself.

0:00.0	Hello my friends. So if you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you probably know that I think my work is kind of famous on some level for being incrementalist, meaning I really break down exactly how to change your thinking in a way that a lot of coaches don't do and I'm never relying on things like
0:21.2	affirmations or like manifest or like positive vibration like what its built-in biases are, the ones that just come with how your brain evolved, and then also the ones that society has taught you,
0:36.8	and how you can literally change it bit by bet. And I talk a lot about the idea that we are not using thought work to escape the human experience.
0:45.2	We can't off-road ourselves, we can't exit the human experience, we're just trying to get better
0:50.4	at navigating it.
0:51.6	So all that's true, I 100% stand by all of that, but I sometimes think that what I neglect to do is really share with you the incredible changes you can create by changing your thoughts.
1:04.7	It's like sometimes I think I focus too much on the incremental part
1:09.2	because I'm really trying to teach you a process step by step and I am really trying to like give you
1:17.2	the concrete steps and tools you need to kind of balance the rest of the coaching
1:21.8	world I think that sometimes I'd forget to really balance the rest of the coaching world.
1:23.2	I think that sometimes I'd forget to really talk enough about
1:26.6	how much you can change your brain
1:29.7	and how powerful that change can be. I have really been thinking a lot about
1:34.8	everything that has changed in my life over the last eight years because I've been
1:39.3	you know preparing for the book to come out and doing more kind of media and
1:44.4	podcast interviews and things like that around the book and I'm preparing to get
1:48.2	married and kind of changed my life in that way so I'm like really reflecting so
1:51.9	much on what has changed in my life and it's like I'm so
1:56.2	used to my new life that in some ways I forget what enormous changes I've experienced.
2:03.2	It's hard to remember what it felt like
2:06.1	to just feel bad about myself all the time,
