11 Habits To Stop For A Happier Mom Life

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Are there habits you know are holding you back, but no matter how hard you try, they seem impossible to shake? Whether it's mindlessly scrolling through your phone, indulging in one too many episodes of Netflix, or eating sugary snacks that leave you feeling sluggish, these habits often steal your joy and energy as a mom. But what if you could replace them with habits that truly fulfill you?

 

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the 11 habits that are keeping you from living a happier, more fulfilled life. You’ll learn practical strategies for breaking free from the patterns that don’t serve you—and, more importantly, how to replace them with habits that align with who you want to be as a mom and a person. I talk about why instant gratification (like that quick dopamine hit from social media or TV) often robs us of long-term happiness, and I share my personal stories of shifting to habits that not only bring more joy but help me live in line with my deepest desires.

 

If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck in unhelpful habits and start creating lasting change for a more joyful, purposeful mom life, this episode is for you! Tune in now to discover how you can start small, stay consistent, and ultimately transform your habits—and your happiness.
