If you have ever built a habit, stuck with it for two weeks, and then watched it completely fall apart the moment life got hard, this episode is for you.

Monica Packer is a certified habits and identity coach, host of the top-rated About Progress podcast, and a recovering perfectionist who figured out why the habit advice we have all been given was never actually built for women's lives. Her book Sticky Habits comes out this fall and friend, I cannot wait for you to read it.

We talk about why the self-help and habit world is largely built on a masculine framework that ignores the reality of women's lives — the interruptions, the invisible labor, the unpredictable seasons. We talk about what to do when your routines completely fall apart. Why being bad at something is actually the point. And Monica's do something list — the simplest, most underrated identity tool I have heard in a long time.

We also get into my Gary Vee era, the ER visit that ended it, and why hustle culture advice almost took me out completely.

Habits are helpers. They work for you. You don't work for them. And by the end of this episode you are going to feel that in a completely different way.

Find Monica at aboutprogress.com and everywhere podcasts are available. Sticky Habits is available for pre-order so snag it now.
