Why is it so hard to follow through on goals, even when we really want to?

In this episode, Oliver explores how your brain’s design, especially the tension between your prefrontal cortex and your amygdala, can quietly sabotage your best intentions. You’ll learn why stress, uncertainty, and emotionally charged moments often derail progress, not because you're weak, but because your brain is wired for safety, not growth.

We’ll also dive into how this plays out with money decisions, why willpower isn’t the answer, and what it means to work with your brain rather than against it.

Plus: a powerful question to help realign your actions with what actually matters.
