Why do most people quit their resolutions by February?

Because they sprint.

In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with Light Watkins, author of The Year You Transform, to explore the tortoise approach to lasting transformation.

Light shares a practical framework for change that actually sticks:

Why 7-day experiments outperform long-term resolutions
How infant steps beat heroic leaps
Gratitude as a biological anchor
The power of forgiveness sequencing
Why awareness is more powerful than willpower
The difference between being anti-something and pro-awareness

Most people plan for their perfect day. Light teaches you how to optimize for your average busy day.

That small shift changes everything.
