Behaviour Change Expert: How To Break Any Habit...The Method that Changed My Life!

Feel like you're stuck in a cycle? This is how you free yourself.

Reset Month 3: Habits 

In this episode of Begin Again, Shahroo Izadi, award-winning psychologist and bestselling author, shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming food addiction and how self-compassion became her key to lasting change.

As part of Reset Month, Shahroo discusses how her Kindness Method goes beyond just food, it’s a powerful tool for anyone looking to find balance in areas where moderation feels difficult. Whether it’s sugar, alcohol, social media, or any other habit, her method helps you break free from unhealthy cycles by shifting away from self-punishment and embracing a more compassionate, mindful approach.
Shahroo explains how years of dieting, restriction, and shame led to her struggles with food and how shifting from guilt to kindness brought about lasting change. Through her approach, she shows how small, sustainable changes can lead to freedom in not just food, but any area of life where you're looking to break free from old patterns.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone ready to reset their habits and find a more balanced, compassionate way to live.
