New here? Start with our Start Here playlist — five episodes that will change how you think about motherhood.
You've tried the habit trackers, the 21 day challenges, and every "just be consistent" article out there, and none of it sticks for more than a week. Certified habit coach Monica Packer joins JoAnn to explain why most habit advice was never built for moms in the first place, and what actually works when your day never goes as planned.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why the habit advice you've been given fails women's actual lives, and it's not a discipline problem
How to build a baseline version of any habit so one hard day doesn't wreck your progress
Why consistency and flexibility work together instead of competing against each other
The three step sticky habit formula for making any new habit actually stick
How invisible labor and mental load make typical productivity advice unworkable for moms
