Most people think wellness is either a perfect morning routine or something too hard to bother with. In this episode, Niharika talks with author and executive coach Chad Betz about why that "all or nothing" framing is exactly what keeps wellness feeling out of reach.

Chad walks through why stress leads to self-sabotage, why scheduling wellness like an actual meeting works better than hoping to find time for it, and why the goal is to change the plan, not the goal, when something isn't working. If wellness has always felt like one more thing you're failing at, this conversation offers a much gentler way in.

About the Guest:

Chad C. Betz is a financial services executive, certified executive coach, and author of "An Authentic Success: You Aren't Too Old and It's Not Too Late," "The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese!," "Late Bloomer: It's Not Too Late to Succeed!," and "Expertise Expedition." His work focuses on redefining success and building sustainable habits at any stage of life.

Key Takeaways:

• Wellness feels out of reach mainly because we assume it requires a full overhaul, when small, consistent habits are what actually work.
• Stress often triggers self-sabotage, overeating, screens, overworking. Noticing that pattern is the first step to interrupting it.
• Schedule wellness like an important meeting. If it's not on the calendar, it usually doesn't happen.
• Give yourself permission to be bad at something before you're good at it. Progress starts with baby steps, not big leaps.
• When a plan isn't working, change the plan, not the goal.
• Setbacks are part of the process, not proof of failure. Staying consistent matters more than staying perfect.
