Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

Stop Starting Over: Build Habits That Last with Habit Freak CHRISTOPH Merrill
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let’s talk habits… but not the cute, color-coded, “new year new me” kind.
I’m joined by CHRISTOPH Merrill (aka the Habit Freak, thought-leader, speaker, author CHRISTOPHmerrill.com ), and this conversation goes way deeper than discipline and checklists. After a life-altering moment that nearly cost him everything, CHRISTOPH discovered a truth most habit advice completely ignores:
Habits aren’t built for calm days. They’re built for the hard ones.
We talk about what it really takes to build habits that hold up when motivation disappears, your brain turns against you, and life gets messy (because… it will).
We dig into:
- Why most habits fail the moment pressure hits
- How mental health and habit formation are deeply connected
- A simple, flexible approach to staying consistent...even on your worst days
We also get into radical self-awareness, journaling, decision fatigue, and why doing your best today beats chasing perfection every time.
If you’re tired of starting over… this episode will help you build habits that actually last.
