Dr. Christiane Schroeter
I'm a behavioral economist with a PhD, a TEDx speaker, and the host of Happy Healthy Hustle, a top 1% global podcast. I've taught the science of small steps to more than 10,000 people.
And I learned this exact lesson the hard way... on a flat box cake at sixteen, when I couldn't stop stirring.
Small steps, done more deeply. That's the whole thing.
