Episode #3 - Key Stone Habits
Your habits aren’t just behaviors they’re identity scripts your brain runs on autopilot.
In this episode, we explore the science and psychology behind keystone habits, those rare routines that create ripple effects across your entire life. From physical fitness to family rituals to meditation, the right habit doesn’t just change what you do… it changes who you become.
We get into:
- How habits form in the brain (cue → routine → reward)
- Why the basal ganglia makes good habits feel effortless over time
- How dopamine reinforces behavior and builds momentum
- The psychology of motivation (Self-Determination Theory)
- Real examples: fitness, family rituals, and meditation
- How to build identity-based habits and start stacking them for massive growth
Whether you’re trying to train consistently, be more present, or finally take control of your routine this episode is your playbook.
