Title: Small Move, Big Change
Author: Caroline L. Arnold
Category: Mindfulness & Wellbeing, Career Growth, Motivation & Self-Improvement

Have you ever made a New Year's resolution that fizzled out by February? Sam and Sophie explore why grand transformations fail and how tiny, almost laughably small adjustments can actually stick.

They break down Caroline Arnold's micro-resolution framework: pick one area, define a tiny positive action, commit for thirty days, and never increase the minimum. Examples include putting on running shoes for two minutes or drinking one glass of water before coffee. The key is that these actions are so small your brain doesn't resist them, building momentum and identity over time.

This episode is for anyone who's tired of willpower-based change and wants a sustainable approach. The takeaway: consistency beats intensity, and one push-up a day is infinitely better than waiting to do fifty.
