Happy Mindset Monday!
If your New Year habits don’t stick, it doesn’t mean you failed.
It means the approach needs to change.
In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I break down why most habits fall apart after the initial motivation fades—and what actually helps habits last.
This episode isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about building habits that align with who you are and how you live.
💡 In this episode, I explore:
Why motivation-based habits don’t survive real life
How identity-driven habits create lasting change
Why consistency matters more than perfection
How small habits rebuild self-trust
The role gratitude plays in staying grounded and present
You don’t need to start over.
You need a more compassionate, intentional approach.

Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means you’re in a moment that’s asking for honesty, patience, and intention.
In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I share my perspective on what it really means to feel stuck — and what to do when motivation is low, clarity is missing, and pressure is high.
This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, uncertain, or tired of pretending they’re okay.
💡 In this conversation, I explore:
Why feeling stuck is more common than we admit
How trying to “fix everything” keeps us frozen
Why small steps rebuild momentum and confidence
How gratitude helps us reconnect with the present
What to focus on when you don’t know what’s next
You don’t need a full plan.
You need a starting point — and permission to begin imperfectly.
