Helping Teens Build Better Habits Ep. 191

Your teen says they want to change—but nothing seems to stick. It’s easy to assume it’s a lack of effort, but the real issue is often deeper: habits. Nearly half of what we do each day runs on autopilot, and those patterns quietly shape who we’re becoming. Instead of pushing for more willpower, this conversation helps you guide teens to notice their habits, understand what those habits are doing for them, and make small, meaningful swaps that actually last. Because lasting change doesn’t come from big promises—it comes from small rhythms repeated over time. . .
