“Maybe the real problem isn't that you don't know how to change. Maybe you don't yet know why you do what you do.”
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This announcement episode shifts the focus of Johnny Lawrence’s long-running show and sets out a fresh, sharper mission: helping people understand why they do what they do.
Johnny, known as The Self Development Coach, reframes his podcast around one central question: "Why do I do this?" Rather than just talking about what to change, the show now zeroes in on the deeper reasons behind repeated patterns, from overthinking and people-pleasing to anger, procrastination and picking the wrong relationships. If you’ve ever asked yourself why you keep doing the things you promised you’d stop doing, you’ll feel seen here.
The episode explains that every conversation Johnny has in coaching, workshops and interviews keeps circling back to the same issue: people often don’t know why they behave the way they do. He suggests that "Maybe the real problem isn't that you don't know how to change. Maybe you don't yet know why you do what you do," setting the tone for a show that’s practical but gently challenging.
You’ll get a clear sense of format and style: weekly episodes answering real questions, looking at psychology, emotions and hidden patterns behind human behaviour, plus a monthly guest bringing fresh angles and lived experience. The tone is honest, warm and straightforward, aimed at anyone who wants to understand themselves better, including those dealing with addiction, trauma and tricky habits. Johnny stresses that self-understanding is not the final destination, but "where the real change begins".
So if you’re tired of repeating old cycles with alcohol, relationships or your own thoughts, this refreshed podcast may help you start asking better questions about yourself. Ready to face that nagging thought: "Why do I do this?"
