86 — The 6 Stages of Change: How to Tran...

Amy Morin
About this episode

Whether you want to change an eating habit, or you're trying to change a relationship, there's a series of stages you're going to go through along the way. The stages don't necessarily happen in a nice, neat order, however. Progress rarely comes in a straight line.

Understanding the stages of change can help you create and stick to change better. When you learn to recognize where other people are in their transformation, you'll then be able to know how to support them best. Some of the things I share are the six stages, what to do to move yourself along in your journey, and how to support someone else based on where they are in the process.
