Listen "The Spillover Effect: Why Small Wins Change Everything"
Episode Synopsis
Small wins look tiny from the outside, but inside your system they light up like a switchboard. They activate movement, shift your internal state, and open channels that were previously shut. And one of the most reliable places to spark that shift is through a genuine, curiosity-led hobby.In this episode, Kaitlin explores how momentum spills over throughout your internal landscape, why identity shifts begin with tiny actions, and how the structure of a simple hobby can spark a full-body transformation. Through science, story, and lived experience, we look at how one small corner of your life can become the ignition point for renewal everywhere else.You’ll hear:How a single win starts a chain reaction inside the brain, including insights from the prefrontal cortex “tube study”Why hobbies create the perfect conditions for evidence, feedback, flow, and identity movementThe five elements that turn a hobby into a momentum engine: just for you, measurable, slightly challenging, low friction, and identity-expandingWhy physical movement (EMDR mechanics, walking, driving) opens space in the mind and dissolves stuck patternsHow the eight areas of life form your internal structure and why each one needs a bit of energy to keep the whole system rollingThe behavioral science behind fresh starts and why you can choose one anytime you wantA personal story about evidence, inner dialogue, and the moment a “bad day” revealed massive progressThis is an invitation to pick something that feels like yours, follow the thread of interest, and create one intentional win. That’s the beginning of movement.Want more?Head to thealignmentengine.com to explore recalibration sessions, creative tools, and resources for high-capacity humans moving toward deeper clarity and alignment.Your Hobby Checklist is here: https://thealignmentengine.com/hobby
