What if the habits you've been trying to build were never designed for your life in the first place?
In this insightful conversation, Dana Irvine sits down with identity coach and author Monica Packer to explore how perfectionism, invisible labor, and shifting life seasons can disconnect women from themselves. Together, they discuss why traditional habit formation often fails women and how reclaiming your identity is the key to creating sustainable habits that truly support your well-being.
Monica shares her personal journey from perfectionism and burnout to developing a more compassionate, flexible approach to growth. She introduces the concept of "sticky habits"—habits designed to fit real life rather than demanding perfection.
Whether you're navigating menopause, an empty nest, career changes, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode offers practical wisdom to help you build habits that honor who you are and who you're becoming.
