Podcast | Small Challenges, Big Change: Light Watkins on Transformation That Actually Sticks

Or, listen on Spotify.

Most transformation fails because we're aiming at the wrong thing. We want change, but what we're actually chasing is presence.  In this episode, Jeff sits down with Light Watkins, meditation teacher and author, to unpack the real mechanics of personal change: why it has to start with gratitude, why seven days beats 365, and how small, specific challenges compound into a different life. They explore:

• Why presence is the real goal behind every desire for change
• Gratitude 1.0 vs. 2.0
• The tortoise approach to transformation vs. the crisis and Eat Pray Love models
• Seven-day challenges as a sustainable pathway to lasting habits

 This episode is for anyone who's tried to change and stalled… and wants a more honest, low-drama way forward.
