Title: Nothing Changes Until You Do
Author: Mike Robbins
Category: Mindfulness & Wellbeing, Motivation & Self-Improvement, Personal Growth, Love, Dating & Relationships

We chase promotions, perfect partners, and external fixes — but why does happiness still feel out of reach? Sam and Sophie sit with Mike Robbins' central argument that the only lasting change comes from the inside out.

They walk through Robbins' distinction between the authentic self and the ego, the trap of putting happiness in someone else's pocket, and the practice of setting daily intentions. The pair dig into vulnerability as the key to connection, and the art of letting go of grudges and control.

If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of chasing external fixes, this episode names the real work and gives you a way to start. The takeaway: you're not broken, and real growth begins with self-acceptance.
