The Science of Habits : Why Some Are So Hard to Break (And What to Do About It) w/ Lesley Logan

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of habits that you can’t see to break, no matter how much you want to? Maybe it’s late-night snacking, doom-scrolling on your phone, or hitting snooze for the third time when you swore you’d wake up early. You’ve tried willpower, motivation, even color-coded planners… but nothing sticks. In this episode, I’m joined by Lesley Logan—Pilates instructor, mindset coach, and habit formation expert—to dig into the real reasons behind our habits. Spoiler: it’s not about being lazy or lacking discipline. Lesley reveals how every habit we have—yes, even the “bad” ones—serve a purpose. And the key isn’t to force yourself to stop; it’s to understand why the habit exists and replace it with something that truly works for you. What you’ll learn: The hidden why behind your habits (and why shaming yourself won’t help). How to identify and replace habits that don’t align with the life you want. Practical strategies to start small and stay consistent—even when life gets busy. Why discomfort is not your enemy and how it can lead to real growth. The surprising role of self-care and rethinking “selfishness” in habit formation. This episode is like a loving nudge and a strategy session rolled into one. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, Lesley’s insights will help you approach your habits with more compassion—and a plan that actually works.
