Small Wins, Big Shifts: Rethinking Stress, Habits, and Change

Most people approach health by trying to fix what’s wrong. Glen Lubbert invites us to do something radically different: start with what’s already working.In this conversation, Glen, co-founder and CEO of Stamina Lab, shares how a solution-focused, science-backed approach to behavior change helps people improve their energy, focus, and resilience without guilt, shame, or burnout. Drawing from his experience as a Division I athlete, tech entrepreneur, and certified performance coach, Glen explains why sustainable change doesn’t come from willpower or digging into past failures but from building momentum through small, meaningful wins.Together, we explore how stress really shows up in daily life, why burnout is information (not failure), and how asking better questions can completely change the way we experience health, habits, and ourselves.In this episode, we talk about:*Why people aren’t broken—and why that belief matters*What solution-focused coaching actually looks like in real life*How focusing on “what’s working” builds momentum instead of shame*A powerful reframe for stress, self-talk, and overwhelm*Why “What do you want instead?” is the starting point for change*How small, grace-filled shifts compound into lasting transformationIf you’ve ever felt stuck, tired of trying harder, or discouraged by “failed” attempts at change, this episode offers a hopeful, practical way forward.To find out more about Stamina Lab, visit https://staminalab.io/ Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?
