Are you trying to do all the things at once?
You’ve got big goals — getting healthier, managing your time better, being more present with your family — but the problem? You’re trying to tackle them all at once.
You’re setting alarms to wake up earlier, planning a new fitness routine, cutting out sugar, organizing your pantry, decluttering your home, and learning a new skill… and you expect to stick with all of it immediately.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing: This approach to habit-building rarely works.
In this episode, I’m diving into this common mistake people make when trying to create new habits, and I share one key shift that does work... really well actually.
I’ll explain:
-
Why taking on too much at once backfires.
-
How to avoid overwhelm and burnout.
-
The secret to creating habit loops that actually stick.
-
A simple framework for layering habits over time.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of starting strong, then losing momentum, then giving up, this episode is for you.
Let’s stop the overload and start making real progress — one habit at a time. 🙌
