About Zenbehavior

Zenbehavior is a podcast about the art of becoming the person who can build the life she actually wants. Hosted by Chinecherem Udegbunam, also known as zenstateofmindwriter—a writer, speaker, and founder of New You Lab, a space for women to reinvent themselves and learn to become the experience they want to have. She also writes The Game W/ zenstateofmindwriter, a newsletter on Substack about the psychology of desire—sex, love, money, ambition, and everything in between. Zenbehavior explores the ideas, behaviors, and uncomfortable truths that help you become more self-possessed, ambitious, discerning, and free. We talk about the things that shape the quality of your life—love, sex, money, friendship, family, work, ambition, desire, standards, power, identity, and the rules you’ve inherited without ever deciding whether you wanted them. This is not a podcast about becoming a better-behaved person. It’s about becoming more conscious of the game you’re playing, understanding why you play it, and deciding what you want to do from there. If you’re interested in thinking for yourself, wanting more from life, and developing the nerve and competence to actually go after it, you’ll probably find something here worth keeping.

#153. How to stop being Nice

Published 1 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Every time. Because comfort is safe and truth is risky. Nice is a reflex trained into you by your parents, by your friends, your teachers, your classmates, your colleagues, your boss, your partner, the world that wanted you manageable. Niceness has no backbone because the backbone would sometimes mean saying the thing that makes the room uncomfortable. And nice would rather die than make the room uncomfortable. Kind is different. Kind is a choice made from a position of strength. The kind person can say no because saying no is sometimes the kindest thing you can do for somebody, even if it stinks in the moment. […]
