## Resource

If you've ever struggled to stick with a morning routine, workout plan, self-care practice, or healthy habit, this episode is for you. Today I'm joined by Monica Packer, host of the About Progress Podcast and author of the upcoming book Sticky Habits. Monica's work has had a profound impact on me personally. As a member of her Supporters Club, I've learned so much about letting go of perfectionism and creating habits that actually work in real life. That's why I was so excited to bring her onto the podcast for this conversation. Together, we discuss why so many women feel like they're failing at habits, how traditional habit advice often misses the realities of women's lives, and why consistency may not mean what we've been taught it means. This conversation is full of practical wisdom, compassionate encouragement, and actionable strategies to help you create habits that support your life instead of adding more pressure. Key Takeaways 1. Consistency Doesn't Mean Perfection 2. Small Actions Matter 3. Self-Care Isn't Selfish 4. Progress Is Better Than Perfection 5.
