Episode 36 Sapling-sized habits

from Todd Talk · host authortoddwhiller

Sometimes the hardest problems we face don’t start big — they start small. A tiny habit, a small compromise, or something we decide to ignore “just this once.” Over time, it takes root. The longer we let it grow, the deeper it goes, and the harder it becomes to pull out without leaving a hole behind. In this episode, I share the story of a hayfield that was left unattended, how a single sapling became a tree, and what that can teach us about our own habits. Whether it’s procrastination, unhealthy routines, or unresolved issues, we’ll talk about how to recognize the little things before they become big things — and how to replace them with habits that truly help us grow. Grab your coffee, it's time, for Todd Talk!
