In part 2 of our conversation Monica Packer discusses how to build habits without shame or all-or-nothing thinking in ways that are built for our real lives.

Her new book Sticky Habits is out TODAY!! And is truly incredible. Hands down the best habit book I've ever read.

If you have read habit books, made a fresh-start plan, tried to overhaul your routine, and then blamed yourself when it did not last, this episode is for you. Monica shares a shame-free, flexible approach to habit formation that accounts for real life: unpredictable schedules, caregiving, limited energy, changing seasons, anxiety, and the mental load so many women carry.

Monica's central reframe is simple and powerful: habits are helpers. Their job is not to prove your discipline, worth, or productivity. Their job is to support you in feeling more like yourself.

"Habits are helpers. Their only job is to support us—to help us feel like ourselves."

"You want sustainability far more than you do intensity, especially in the beginning."

You do not need routines, habits, or a home that demand you become someone else. You deserve support that meets you in the life and season you already have.
