Summary

Whether it’s racing formula 1, becoming a fire truck when we grow up, or losing 5 pounds, we’ve all said that we wanted to do something, but then haven’t done it. Most of the time we don’t take the next step and really look at what’s making it difficult to do what we say we want to do. That’s where Dr. BJ Fogg and his ability chain comes in. This week, Catherine and Donald introduce you to the 5-link chain and how using it can unlock what’s stopping you from doing the habits that will get you to your goals. Plus, Catherine breaks down the Power Rangers, Donald finally gets into wine coolers, and the word “ability” puts on a cape.
