Ep. 344 - Why Change Feels Impossible (Even When You Really Want It)

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris have a real and honest talk about why making changes in your life—like starting a health or fitness journey—can be so hard. They share stories from their own lives and from their clients. They talk about how it's okay to mess up, how you're going to face tough moments, and how your old habits (or "old identity") can try to pull you back. But they also talk about how you can win those battles by getting support, learning new tools, and doing hard things even when it's uncomfortable.Chapters(00:00) Kicking Off a Real Conversation on Change(01:18) Why Change is Hard: It’s Not Just About Being Busy(03:39) The Battle Between Your Old and New Identity(04:45) Losing Battles Doesn’t Mean Losing the War(07:12) Life Will Always Happen—Don’t Let It Be Your Excuse(09:11) The Invisible Ceiling: Fears of Success and Self-Sabotage(12:33) Breaking Through Self-Limiting Beliefs(13:03) Chase Gets Real: His Own Identity Shifts and Struggles(15:44) Coaches Who Call You Out (Because They Care)(18:04) You Become Who You’re Around(21:43) Loving the Idea of Change vs. Doing the Work(24:02) Hiking the Hard Road: Why the Hard Way Feels Better(28:28) Wanting Results Without the Work?
