Habits That Actually Work: Habits Aren’t about Willpower—They’re about Awareness

Описание: Habits shape our days more than we realize—but most of us never stop to question whether they’re actually working anymore. In this live, co-hosted episode, we’re slowing things down and taking an honest look at the habits we’re living on autopilot.

Together, we explore how to recognize habits as they are (not as we wish they were), how to notice when a habit has quietly outlived its usefulness, and why creating new habits without a meaningful “why” almost always leads to burnout or frustration. We share real-life examples of what’s worked for us, what hasn’t, and what we’ve consciously let go of as our lives and priorities have evolved.

We also offer simple, practical strategies for building habits that actually stick—without pressure or perfectionism. And because life isn’t all self-improvement, we wrap things up with a fun segment on what we’re loving right now in fashion, beauty, and everyday wellness.

If you’re ready for habits that support who you are now, this one’s for you.
