Addicted to Betterment: Problems? Are We the Problem?

What if the biggest barrier to the outcomes we crave... is us? Nikki and David Gregory pull no punches as they unpack how we often create the very problems we're frustrated by. From a disastrous family lunch to missed health goals and tense business meetings, they share vulnerable stories that hit close to home. This episode isn't about blame, but about the power to shift our mindset, manifest better outcomes, and pivot with purpose when things go sideways. With practical tools and honest reflection, this conversation challenges us all to stop playing checkers with our lives and start playing chess. Because betterment begins when we own our part and choose better, one move at a time. Additional Resources: Follow Addicted to Betterment wherever you listen to podcasts!
