Podcast Overview

You know exactly why you're stuck. The question is: how to move? You leave work drained, not inspired. You haven't touched that workout routine in months. You rehearse the argument instead of having the conversation. Nonstatic is about the moments when you know what needs to change but can't seem to do it. Clinical psychologist Dr. Josh Beulke and his brother Jon examine one concept each week: why starting drains you, how to recover momentum after you've stopped, what happens when your goals no longer match who you've become. You don't need the perfect plan; you need one degree of motion.
