Have you ever started a new habit feeling completely motivated, only to fall off a few days or weeks later and wonder, “Why can’t I ever stick with anything?”
I can totally relate, and if you're a mom... you might feel the same, too. For so many moms, we need to know that the answer isn’t a lack of discipline. Perfectionism, overwhelm, unrealistic expectations, and the way we’ve been taught to approach habits can really make lasting change much harder than it needs to be.
In this episode of Chick Chat, I sit down with Monica Packer, habit and identity coach, host of the About Progress podcast, and author of the book Sticky Habits. As a recovering perfectionist and mom of five, Monica knows firsthand how difficult it can be to pursue personal growth while managing the demands of motherhood.
Together, we discuss:
Why so many women struggle to make habits stick
The “hidden habit saboteur” that may be getting in your way
Why self-care can feel almost impossible for busy moms
What we’ve been taught wrong about building habits
What actually makes a habit sustainable
Monica’s five categories of Sticky Habits
Where to start when you’ve tried routines before and nothing seems to last
How one tiny shift can begin creating real momentum
What to remember when you’re convinced you simply aren’t disciplined enough
If you’re tired of starting over or feeling like you have to completely overhaul your life to make progress, this conversation offers a much more realistic way forward for us women.
