Why do people resist change so strongly?

In this episode of really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we unpack the phrase everyone has heard at some point: “That’s just the way we’ve always done it.” From food habits and nostalgia to education and leadership, we explore why challenging the status quo can feel uncomfortable — and why it’s often necessary for growth.

Along the way, we talk about how COVID forced adaptation in schools and workplaces, the role educators play in leading change, and why building trust with students matters more than ever. The conversation also dives into therapy, fear of failure, intentional living, and how staying connected to others helps us navigate life’s transitions.

Change isn’t always easy — but leaning into it can lead to deeper self-awareness, stronger relationships, and a more intentional life.
