Summary
On this particularly inspiring (and particularly vulnerable) episode, I’m so pleased to have chatted with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and the author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better, Charles Duhigg! Together we drill down on what it takes to say “Yes!” to the changes we’d like to make in our lives, knowing where to start, and the role belief plays in all of it.
Turns out there’s a big difference between setting a goal and making a plan! Listen in as I become the guinea pig while workshopping a S.M.A.R.T. plan with Charles, and find out how you can do the same. Living through a global pandemic certainly altered some of our daily routines, so today we’re discovering how to make the most of our jolt out of autopilot and shift into some fulfilling new habits.

| 0:32.7 | Hey, hey, everybody, welcome back to the Tiffany Han show. |
| 0:35.7 | Today's episode is a really fun one, and I have to say, feels a little bit vulnerable to be introducing this episode because in the course of my interview with Charles Duhigg, who I'm about to introduce you to in just a moment, I became the case study for habit shifting, for identifying what habits I wanted to shift |
| 0:57.8 | and identifying how I wanted those habits to shift. So get ready for some real life examples |
| 1:05.8 | via Tiffany Hahn of what it looks like to identify and then make some choices and decisions around |
| 1:14.6 | change that you want to say yes to. So before we get into that, I want to introduce you to Charles |

| 1:27.1 | Yeah, amazing, right? Pulitzer Prize winning, |
| 1:29.8 | investigative journalists and the author of The Power of Habit and Smarter, Faster, |
| 1:35.6 | Better. And The Power of Habit is one of my favorite books to reference when it comes to |
| 1:40.5 | habit change, not only because it really spells out and gives so many beautiful |
| 1:45.7 | illustrations of how our brain works when it comes to habit, but it also really underscores |
| 1:52.2 | so many of the things that we talk about over here on the podcast when it comes to radical |
| 1:57.0 | self-belief. It talks about belief, having faith that you can actually do the thing you |
| 2:02.3 | want to do, having the discernment to know when it's working, when it's not, giving yourself the |
| 2:07.1 | grace to not expect perfection right away, finding patience with the process, all of that. |
| 2:14.4 | And so it was so wonderful to have Charles on the show and be able to really talk with |
