For this episode, Gabby sits down with author and speaker Catherine Gray for an honest, curious conversation about the habits that shape our lives — and the tiny patterns that quietly run the show.

Best known for her writing on behaviour change and sobriety, Catherine joins us to explore the ideas behind her book Little Addictions, unpacking how small compulsions — from scrolling and sugar to work and worry — can subtly steer our choices, moods, and identities. Together, we look at why humans cling to rituals, what it really takes to shift ingrained habits, and how self-awareness can open the door to something more intentional.

This episode marks a reflective pause in the journey: a chance to examine the everyday dependencies we often overlook, and to ask what freedom might look like — not in dramatic transformations, but in small, meaningful changes.

A thoughtful Midpoint conversation about awareness, agency, and the stories we tell ourselves about control.
