Ben Dadbin, Mitra Manesh

Are there certain habits you have spent years trying to break but have made little to no progress? 

You know that pattern - in relationships, work, or social situations - that keeps repeating despite your efforts to fix it. In this episode, Ben and Mitra reveal why forcing change often backfires and offer a radically different lens for seeing persistent habits. Through personal stories of transformation, they show how shifting your relationship with patterns might be the missing key.


What You’ll Learn: 

  • Patterns protect, they don't punish - See why habits you hate might serve hidden purposes
  • Your words create your reality - Learn how "breaking habits" language sabotages change
  • The pause that changes everything - Discover how split-second choices create lasting shifts


If you’re someone who ….

  • Keeps hitting the same wall in relationships, work, or social situations
  • Has tried everything but certain patterns won't budge
  • Senses there's another way but can't see it

…then you’ll want to be sure to listen in on this episode. Enjoy!
