From Numbing to Thriving: A Year of Radical Habit Change | Katie Day (EP47)

Diane sits down with Katie Day to explore her powerful journey of radical habit transformation. A former theater kid and improv comedian, Katie opens up about how the COVID-19 pandemic became a turning point—pushing her to reevaluate not only her routines but her sense of identity and purpose. Katie shares what happened when she eliminated alcohol, sugar, social media, and negativity for a full year. Through that bold experiment, she discovered the transformative impact of intentional living, the brain’s capacity for change, and the freedom that comes from breaking away from habits that no longer serve us. Whether you're feeling stuck in your habits or simply curious about the art of personal reinvention, this episode offers practical tools and heartfelt encouragement for becoming who you’re truly meant to be.
