The Power of Small Wins with Zoia Ye
Friday Mar 21, 2025
Friday Mar 21, 2025
Have you ever brushed off your own progress, waiting for that one big achievement to feel successful? In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Saima sits down with Zoia Ye, a powerhouse in personal transformation, to talk about the science and psychology behind celebrating small wins. Zoia, an expert in neuro-linguistic programming, sexology, psychosomatics, and neuroplasticity, explains how rewiring our brains for small victories can break toxic cycles, combat burnout, and create lasting transformation. If you're stuck in a loop of self-doubt or constantly moving the goal post on your own success, this episode is your wake-up call to break that pattern—for good.
About the Guest - Zoia Ye:
Zoia Ye is a transformation expert who helps individuals rewire their brains and step into unshakable personal power. With a background in neuro-linguistic programming, sexology, psychosomatics, and neuroplasticity, she provides science-backed strategies to help people escape toxic cycles and build resilience. Zoia is all about results—not just motivation—and she teaches how small wins lead to massive breakthroughs.
Key Takeaways:
- Your Brain Craves Wins – When we ignore small victories, our brains become exhausted and demotivated. Recognizing progress fuels momentum and motivation.
- Small Wins Trigger Dopamine – Acknowledging even minor successes releases dopamine, the brain’s reward chemical, making progress feel rewarding and sustainable.
- Perfection Kills Progress – Striving for perfection often leads to procrastination. Focusing on small, achievable goals keeps you moving forward.
- Burnout Prevention – Celebrating small wins prevents burnout and keeps you engaged without overwhelming stress.
- Rewiring Your Mindset – Training your brain to recognize success reduces self-doubt, anxiety, and limiting beliefs, helping you build long-term resilience.
- Simple Challenge – For the next 24 hours, reflect on how far you've come. Compare yourself to who you were five years ago, not someone else today.

Together, they dive into the real meaning of self-care—beyond bubble baths and spa days—exploring practical strategies to set boundaries, delegate, and shift your mindset so that rest becomes a priority, not a luxury.
