Description

If your habits never seem to stick past January, this episode is for you.

In this final episode of 2025, I'm breaking down why waiting for January is the worst habit strategyβ€”and how busy moms can build routines that actually survive real life.

You'll learn:

  • Why habits fail when life gets busy
  • How to shrink habits so they stick
  • What "phase one" really looks like


If you're ready to stop starting over every year, this is where it changes.

🎧 Subscribe for more realistic routines, family systems, and time freedom strategies for moms.
