What To Do When Your Comfort Zones Aren’t Serving You Anymore

The Real Mother Effort Podcast

We all love a good comfort zone. Whether I figured out something that works that I set on auto-pilot long ago, or it’s ‘just the way I do things around here’, these are a necessity for busy parents who don’t have time to ask "Ok, What’s Next" for every single thing in the day. But we know that it’s high time some of our comfort zones expand or that we need to figure out and set a new auto-pilot routine.

That’s exactly what Lauren is diving into today. But, per usual, we are looking at it only from the perspective of a parent. She breaks down a simple process for change that will actually stick. This isn't about perfection or major overhauls; it's about recognizing when something isn't serving you anymore and taking one tiny step toward feeling better about it.

Key Points Discussed:

• A quick breakdown of comfort zones and habits, and what this looks like in the life of a parent.
• Many of these feel "comfortable" because they're familiar and require less decision-making in the moment, but they're actually creating long-term stress and resentment.
• The process everyone goes through when they realize a comfort zone isn’t serving them anymore, but it seems scary to change it.
• A simple guided process you can do through to take action today.
