How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed Live Class: https://michellegauthier.mykajabi.com/offers/gAtYyHen/checkout  


What if the reason you can't stick to your habits isn't a lack of discipline—but that the habits were never designed for your real life?

If you're an overwhelmed working woman juggling invisible labor, unpredictable schedules, changing energy levels, and constant interruptions, traditional habit advice can leave you feeling like you're failing when the real problem is the method. In this episode, Monica Packer explains why perfectionism can show up as both over-functioning and under-functioning, why women's invisible labor changes the way habits need to work, and how flexible habits can help you make sustainable progress without constantly starting over.

3 benefits you'll gain from listening:

  •  Understand how perfectionism can keep you stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle, even when you appear successful on the outside. 
  •  Learn how to create a flexible baseline habit that supports you on your worst days instead of requiring perfect consistency. 
  •  Discover how compassionate, sustainable habits can change not only what you do, but how you see yourself and your ability to follow through. 


 Play the episode to learn how to build habits that support your real life, so you can finally become more consistent without demanding perfection from yourself.
