Habit Formation Experts - Primal 5 Recovery Strategies

In this episode Emma welcomes psychologist Dr. Matt Campbell to explore 'Our Primal 5'; sunlight, movement, sleep, meaningful connection, and mindful consumption, as the foundational elements of recovery and mental health. They dismantle the perfection myth, reframe slips as learning opportunities, and explain how small, practical changes (like stacking habits and limiting choices) are more sustainable than waiting for motivation. Dr. Matt shares real-world examples—morning sunlight, dog walks, pairing enjoyable activities with movement—and emphasizes flexibility: tailor routines to your life, not someone else’s ideal. Listeners leave with actionable steps to bolster resilience and wellbeing.
