Back to EpisodesWhy Your Habits Keep Failing (And It's Not Willpower) with Connie Kwan
Description
Habits don't fail because of laziness. They fail because identity hasn't caught up yet.
Through 20 years in product leadership, Connie uncovered the real pattern behind behaviour change.
She built a framework called Story Habits around a single idea: you can't change a habit until you name the story behind it.
Perfect for: Anyone who has started a habit with good intentions and eventually let it slide.
Your transformation: You'll learn what a genuinely compelling story sounds like as an anchor to habit formation and change. You'll also discover how confidence and motivation can predict whether a habit sticks, or not.
Key takeaways:
- Why most people's stated reason for change isn't strong enough to survive longer-term
- Identity, not logic, drives real change
- The average smoker fails seven times before quitting, and what that number means for your own habit
- Confidence and motivation matter more than willpower
- Why starting too big guarantees relapse
What's a habit you've tried to stick with more than once, and what finally made it work (or not)?
