Hey there, welcome to the Going Scared Podcast. I'm Jessica Hanager, founder of the World

Changing Brand New Day Collection, and our Going Scared Community gathers here every

week for direct and honest conversations that help you live a life of courage by leaving

comfort and going scared. We're returning to our countdown of your

top 10 listener favorite episodes celebrating two million downloads, and we are at

number six today. And this is a returning guest. I love her so much. She just came out

with a new book. This is Gretchen Rubin. She's a best-selling author, podcaster, and speaker,

and her books and podcasts explore the art and science of habits, happiness, and human

nature. With over three and a half million copies sold worldwide, Gretchen's books have

become go-to resources for organizations and individuals seeking to cultivate change

in personal growth. So this is the episode we are going to dive into actually the topic

of habits, what are habits, how different people approach different habits differently,

and she is so practical. That's what I love about Gretchen. She shares with us her practical

insights and strategies for building habits that actually stick and helps us to overcome

resistance, cultivating the mindset of self-awareness, and self-compassion, and girl, she's

out with a new book. And I am so excited about this book because it just resonates so,

so deeply with me. It's called Life in the Five Senses, and it just hit the shelves

a couple weeks ago, and she's also recently created a new quiz. So she has a quiz out

that I have taken, that I've even had my kids taken, that's so good, that tells you

how you approach habits. This one is the Five Senses Quiz, what is your most neglected

sense? And I think this book is so important because we all got so digital and so online,

and she grounds us back into our bodies and gets us having embodied experiences again,
