Why change feels hard: Unlocking the secrets to effortless habit formation

March 28, 2025

Mastering Habit Formation: Creating Lasting Change

Join us for an insightful workshop on habit formation, led by our experienced health coach, Joanna, who has spent years helping people achieve their health-related goals.

Change is challenging—but it doesn’t have to be. In this workshop, Joanna will share key insights into the psychology of change, why breaking bad habits can feel so difficult, and how to create sustainable, long-lasting transformations in your life.

Our habits shape our daily choices, decisions, and overall well-being. By understanding how they work, you can take charge of your behaviors and make meaningful, positive changes.

Don’t miss this opportunity to transform the way you approach change!

You'll learn:


✅ Why change is hard and how to make it easier
✅ The science behind habit formation and how your brain plays a role
✅ How to replace habits that no longer serve you with ones that support your well-being
✅ Practical strategies to build new, healthy habits that stick
✅ Tools to overcome barriers and take control of your habits
