In today’s episode we conclude our Change Is Not Linear series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.
This episode explores the relapse stage, or what is often referred to as “recycling” through the stages of change.
Relapse is one of the most misunderstood and shame-filled parts of behaviour change, yet it is also one of the most human.
In this episode we explore:
We also talk about how relapse does not erase growth, awareness, healing, or progress, and why many people move through the stages of change multiple times before long-term transformation becomes sustainable.
This episode is an invitation to view setbacks with compassion instead of self punishment, and to remember that healing doesn't equal perfection but an opportunity to return to yourself again and again.
If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that setbacks do not erase progress, and that healing can still continue after difficult moments.

In today’s episode we continue exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.
This episode explores the maintenance stage, the stage where change is sustained and gradually integrated into everyday life.
Maintenance is often misunderstood as the point where things become easy, but in reality it is an ongoing practice of continuing to show up for yourself long after the excitement of change fades.
In this episode we explore:
We also talk about how maintenance is less about becoming perfect and more about learning how to remain connected to yourself through all seasons of being human.
This episode is an invitation to explore what it means to build a life you no longer need to constantly escape from.

This episode explores the action stage, the stage where change becomes visible.
Action is where people begin actively changing behaviours, creating new routines, interrupting old patterns, and practising a different way of living.
But while action can look exciting from the outside, it is often one of the most emotionally vulnerable stages of change.
In this episode we explore:
We also talk about how healing is not about becoming a completely different person overnight, but about practising a new relationship with yourself one choice at a time.
This episode is an invitation to honour the courage it takes to take action — especially when change feels uncomfortable, emotional, and uncertain.

Understanding the Preparation Stage of Change
This episode explores the preparation stage, the stage where change begins becoming intentional.
This is the stage where someone may still look the same from the outside, but internally something has shifted. Awareness has deepened, willingness is growing, and a person is beginning to imagine that another way of living might actually be possible.
