Let's be honest, becoming a mom can throw your life-long habits in the trash, chew it up & spit it out...I invited @jamesclear, habit expert &  author of the New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits (currently #1) to help us dive into using habits as parents & moms. The book has sold over 8 million copies worldwide & has been translated into more than 50 languages.I initially wanted to read the book with entrepreneurship in mind, & quickly realized that the guidance he wrote about surrounding habits was secretly speaking to every mom trying to find their identity as parents who want to take care of themselves physically, be there for their new family but get back to those things that made them feel like themselves.Now a parent of 2 kids under 2,  James shares how to make the small changes that will transform your habits & deliver remarkable results.  I use the concepts in Atomic Habits on a daily basis with my clients!James & I discuss the special challenges parents face building habits when there is no such thing as atypical day in parenthood. James shares ways to avoid common pitfalls people face when they are trying to establish a new habit, & so much more! I am SO EXCITED for you to hear this interview, our podcast season finale!We talk about: ?4 laws of building habits (these are clutch!)?setting up your physical space to outsmart yourself?embracing the season you’re in  ?casting a vote for the type of person you are ?buying all the things for the thing v. doing the thing?the 2 minute rule v. the perfect thing?making the habit before you can build it?finding balance in manageable bites (aka #momlife)If you ❤️ what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 start rating and review.
