Drawing from personal experience, I share three practical strategies that transformed my approach to habit-building, making habits more enjoyable and sustainable.

Whether you're struggling with how to make a habit stick or looking to create a weekly routine that honors your natural rhythm, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on consistent habit-building that works in real life.

Why Traditional Approaches to Making Habits Can Be A Struggle

Through my experience as both a content creator and parent, I've discovered that the hustle culture mentality of never skipping habits creates unnecessary pressure. I explain how shifting from a daily to a weekly mindset transformed my relationship with habits, making them more enjoyable and sustainable long-term.

3 Powerful Strategies for How to Make a Habit Consistent

I outline three game-changing approaches that have helped me maintain consistency with my habits: • Connecting habits deeply to your values gives you a meaningful "why" behind each action • Thinking weekly instead of daily removes the pressure of perfection • Recognizing there are multiple ways to live out your values provides needed flexibility.

How to Create a Weekly Routine That Fits Your Life

Using my podcasting journey as an example, I demonstrate how understanding my core value of connection allowed me to:

• Shift from an unsustainable twice-weekly schedule to a more aligned bi-weekly approach

• Implement seasons in my content creation for better work-life balance

• Enhance both my content quality and personal connections

The Secret to Making Habits That Last: Flexibility Over Perfection

Discover how consistency doesn't have to mean doing the same thing every day by:

• Setting flexible weekly goals that respect your natural rhythm

• Choosing different ways to fulfill the same value on different days

• Removing the guilt from days when habits don't happen as planned
