The Courage to Change: Weekly Preview

Is there something you want to try, but you keep waiting for the right time? It’s week two of my 30 Days of What’s Next experiment, and we’re talking about the courage to change when you’re still figuring things out.  Here's what's coming up in the next few days.   On Monday, I talk with Western fashion storyteller Jane Stewart about grief and finding her way back to herself and something she loved. After Jane lost both of her parents, a question in therapy took her back to who she was at 16. She remembered how much fashion had meant to her. Jane reminds us to Wear the Clothes!  Inspired with Jane.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, behavior design expert Stephanie Weldy joins me for a two-part conversation about making a habit small enough to fit the day you already have. Then on Thursday, come with me to Georgetown, Texas. I sat down with artist and master hatter Nate Funmaker in his shop near the square.  We talk about how a favor for a friend turned into his life’s work. Nathaniel's Custom Hats.  On Friday, I’ll share one idea you can use from BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits. I’ll be back Saturday with what stayed with me and Sunday with a look at what’s coming next.  Questions we explore How did Jane Stewart reconnect with herself and something she loved after loss? A question in therapy got Jane thinking about who she was at 16. It helped her remember how much she loved fashion. Note: This conversation is about much more than fashion.   What is the movie test for understanding behavior design? Stephanie asks whether a film director could show the action on screen. “See my friends more” becomes something you can picture, like picking up your phone and texting one friend to meet for coffee.  How did Nate Funmaker become a master hatmaker?  A friend asked him to help, and Nate figured he’d stay a few months. Years later, he builds hats in his Georgetown shop using equipment that’s more than a century old.   One idea to take with you Pick one change you’ve been putting off. Now try Stephanie’s movie test.
