Why do we make things harder than they need to be… and why does part of us actually like it?
In this episode, we unpack our relationship with doing hard things—the identity we’ve built around it, the habits we’ve stacked over time, and the subtle ways we create chaos even when life could be simple. We talk through our own versions of a “chaos comfort zone,” where it serves us, and where it quietly starts to work against us.
We get into the psychology behind habit loops, the idea of self-sabotage, and how doing things the hard way can sometimes slow us down more than it helps us grow. From overcomplicating our schedules to food habits and productivity, we share real-life examples and the small shifts that help us simplify without losing momentum.
This isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing what actually serves us.
