But we also have a decision to make about what type of li...

With the current lockdowns in Australia, it's very easy to start blaming the world around you for your state of mind. However, those that are in control, do not react to external circumstances.

Here's the thing - change creates fear. The fear of the unknown as we step outside our comfort zone is the thing that keeps most of us stuck.

It's the biggest fear we all have. What if we start a transformation, a new career, a new relationship and it all goes wrong?

I know it, because I was in the same place and in this episode, I want to help you to move through it.

Lots of people start a transformation. Very few of them succeed and maintain the changes long term. Why is this? What are we getting wrong? In this episode, I unpack the one key change you need to make if you're to be successful in overhauling your mind and body permanently.
