The funny one. The strong one. The one who holds it all together. Is that who you are, or how you learned to cope?

A lot of what we call "just who I am" may have started as a way of getting through something. In this episode we ask whether a trait that began as protection is still really you, why the things people praise most in us can be the things costing us most, and whether you can change a trait that works.

We also look at research that suggests personality keeps changing through adulthood, which makes "I've always been like this" a bit harder to defend.

That's the card we pulled this week. No theories and no big studies, just the team being honest about what actually helps when life gets heavy.

You keep saying you'll change. So why haven't you?

If nothing changes, nothing changes. Most of us know it. Most of us still wait for Monday, or the new year, or the right time. In this episode we talk about why "I want things to be different" never gets you anywhere, and what happens when you work backwards from the change you actually want. Get specific about what it looks like and when, then put the steps in.

Then we get to the more interesting question. If we know all this, why don't we do it? What's really going on when we stay with something we keep saying we want to leave behind?

Tickety Boo is a podcast about why we do what we do, from the team at Piece of Mind in Glasgow. With Andy, Ian, Iona and Ann.
