In this episode of The Forties Formula, Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with Leila Foster, Behaviour Change Strategist and Wellness Architect, to explore why lasting change can be so difficult, even when we genuinely want it.

They explore why our brains return to familiar patterns, how chronic stress affects our ability to change, why expectations create resentment, and how to recognise when a trigger isn't actually about you.

Finally, Leila shares her 40s formula: stop doing what you're told, make micro-adjustments, know your season, hold your paradox, ask for help, and never outsource your decisions.
