So how do you build new ones when there's no such thing as a typical day in parenthood?In this Summer Rewind — our season one finale — Dr. Carrie Pagliano sits down with James Clear, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Atomic Habits. Carrie picked up the book thinking it was about business... and realized it was secretly written for every mom trying to find herself again after kids.They get into systems over willpower, the four laws of behavior change, identity-based habits (casting a vote for the person you want to be), the two-minute rule, and how to set up your space to outsmart yourself. If you've ever set a goal to get back to movement in postpartum or perimenopause, this one was built for you.Lane note: returning to activity looks different for everybody — loop in your maternity care team and pelvic floor PT as you go.Time Stamps1:00 introduction1:35 setting habits for parents7:20 life as a series of seasons 10:00 comparison on social media15:22 navigating your identity as a parent 22:20 taking the first step to building the habit27:25 scaling to build momentum37:00 mental toughness as flexibility versus rigidity40:15 James’ experience as a parentCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH JAMESIG: https://www.instagram.com/jamesclear/Website: jamesclear.com Atomic Habits: atomichabits.comNewsletter: https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1The Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.  This show has been a long time in the making!   You can expect conversation with moms and professionals from all aspects of the industry.   If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!  If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating and review.
