    Mastering Compassion-First Behavior Change with Karin Nordin, PhD

    Our next Stronger U Radio guest has a large fan base within the Stronger U Coach community. Karin Nordin, PhD is an expert in mindset and behavior change and a published researcher of mindset theory. After graduating with her doctorate, Karin had a striking realization: The typical self-help and productivity approaches of the personal development industry were shockingly inconsistent with the actual research on change. That inconsistency fueled her business, Body Brain Alliance, where she’s on a mission to teach people to change and teach coaches how to teach people to change. Fun fact: Even as a behavior change expert, Karin has gone through nutrition coaching and credited it to changing her life. She says, “There is a difference between knowing something and actually doing it, and when we encounter changes in our lives, we need a heightened level of support.” She joined us on the podcast for a science-backed discussion of the many facets related to behavior change, including The importance of having a coach during times of high demand.Why she’ll always have a coach herself.What self-compassion is and isn’t, plus the three skills to develop it.What you should do to achieve the consistency you’re looking for to achieve your goals.Going from all-or-nothing thinking to cognitive flexibility.Her thoughts on resolutions and tips on setting goals.Her one life-changing recommendation.And so much more... Whether you consider yourself a self-help junkie or are new to the topic, there is something in this episode for you.
