How to Get Unstuck: Behavioral Science Strategies

In this special episode of Behavioral Grooves, we discuss what keeps us stuck — and more importantly, how we can get unstuck. Drawing on insights from behavioral science and our vibrant Facebook community (join us!), we tackle the challenges of quitting, risk-taking, and pushing beyond our comfort zones. Whether it’s the fear of speaking up or the inertia of staying in an unfulfilling job, this episode offers both personal reflections and science-backed strategies to help listeners move forward.

Throughout the conversation, we explore why the status quo feels safer than it is, how sunk cost bias and escalation of commitment trap us, and how reframing our fears can help shift our behavior. We also share some of the most insightful listener responses to groove questions like, “What helps you take more chances?” and “How do you know when it’s time to quit?”

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your job, relationship, or creative work, this episode delivers practical wisdom wrapped in Behavioral Grooves’ signature warmth and wit. By the end, you’ll feel more equipped — and maybe even inspired — to challenge your own comfort zone and get back in your groove.
