In this episode, Brad and Kayleen break down how to optimize your daily routines for recovery success. You’ll learn how to identify what’s working, what’s not, and how to make small, smart tweaks that help you reach your goals faster.

You’ll also discover the importance of defining your routine’s core goal, how to avoid “cowboy optimization” (changing too much too fast), and the mindset shifts that make optimization sustainable. Brad and Kayleen share real-life examples from their own routines, including how to remove resistance, manage internal dialogue, and design environments that make consistency easy.
