Let’s talk about perfectionism. You know, that voice in your head that tells you, “If you can’t do it perfectly, why bother doing it at all?”

It’s the same voice that has you procrastinating on that new habit or beating yourself up for falling short (again).

Spoiler alert: that 'all or nothing' mindset is keeping you feeling stuck.

In this episode, I’m joined by Monica Packer, an expert in creating sustainable systems for high-achieving women who feel like they’re always falling short. With years of experience helping women shift from self-criticism to self-compassion, she’s here to unpack why women must approach habits differently, how to reframe failure, and practical tools to create habits that stick—even when life feels overwhelming.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

The top 3 keys to creating consistent habits, even when you’re busy or exhausted.
The sneaky ways procrastination shows up in your life and keeps you stuck.
The real reason you’re struggling with habits (hint: it’s not you!) and how to break the cycle of failure.

If you’ve ever felt like habit-building is just another thing to check off an already-overwhelming list, this conversation will change the way you think about progress.

Monica’s tips will help you ditch the guilt, simplify your systems, and start creating habits that work for your real, messy, beautiful life.
