    When Sh*t Happens, Shifts Happen

    It’s February. The New Year's hype has faded, and for many of us, the "sh*t" has already hit the fan. But here’s the truth: You haven't failed your resolutions—you’re currently building them through the fire. In the debut episode, we’re diving into why life is like a game of football: you're going to miss sitters, trip over the ball, and lose games you should have won. But as neuroscientist Dr. Nancy Michael proves, that "friction" you feel isn't a sign to quit; it’s the metabolic cost of your brain physically rewiring itself. Today we cover: Why your brain needs "the sh*t" to stay adaptive. The "Renovation Mindset": Tearing down old neural pathways to build a Pro identity. The 100% Rule: Why giving your all looks different every single day. How to move from "Victim" to "Architect" before the whistle blows. Stop waiting to "feel" like it. Take your feelings out of it and get back on the pitch. Reflection and progress. Let’s work!

    Intro

    Look, life is messy. Sh*t happens. And when it does, it’s so easy to get stuck—overthinking, procrastinating, paralysed by anxiety, making everything all or nothing, pondering on decisions like our lives depend on them. Sometimes we feel like bad things only happen to us, and we retreat into our own world. But here’s the truth: shift happens 😉 That’s life. And it can actually be exciting—if we learn to shift our mindset from lost to locked in.
