Summary

If you are scattered and inconsistent, or are trying to balance busy family life with personal goals, most habit advice won’t work for you. Jen rejects the popular Atomic Habits theory and advocates for Iconic Habits, which work much better in a village setting. She rails against the advice that makes it sound like consistency in your daily routine is everything.

She also talks about:
-- why everyone should support sports, even if they’re not sportsfans
-- how crazy one of her kids was as a toddler, and how she recently met someone who gave her encouragement

P.S. Jen gets so wound up she starts shouting at 56 min lol
