Summary
Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Nutrition and Life podcast! Today’s guest is Monica Packer, a habits and identity coach, and host Lisa Franz dives into the real roots of perfectionism, identity, resilience, and the practical habit strategies that set the foundation for sustainable change—both in weight loss and in life. Monica shares her journey from “recovering perfectionist” to self-compassion evangelist, and unpacks the invisible labor women face, why compassion creates sustainable habits, and exactly how women can adjust habit formation to work with—rather than against—their real lives. You’ll walk away with the “sticky habit formula,” a practical playbook for lasting change, plus relatable stories on coping with invisible labor, finding self-worth beyond achievement, and setting boundaries that honor your deepest values. Tune in for refreshing honesty, actionable tools, and the supportive wisdom you need to build habits that actually serve you.
