It's the new year, and I know for me this is the time of year that I do from a place of empowerment,

not pressure, think about habits, think about small things I want to shift.

And so there just couldn't be a better time to have a conversation with Charles Duhigg.

He is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.

He is the author of the power of habit and super communicators. But before you get any

ideas about, oh, this is going to feel heavy. This is going to feel impossible. One more thing to

make me feel like I'm not doing enough. No, us parents, we do not have time for that. Charles is

someone I've gotten to know over the last couple of years. And he talks about habits and communication

in a way that feels new and empowering and makes you have the thought, oh, that's simple. I can do

that today. And that's why I love talking to him and I love the conversation you're about to hear.

This episode is about starting the year with intention,

but not morality intention, not perfect intention, just the intention of there might be one small

thing I want to change. That will make the rest of my year better. And I think that's something

we could all use. I'm Dr. Becky, and this is good inside. We'll be back right after this.

Hi, Charles. Hey, how are you?

Oh, good. I've been waiting for this conversation because there's just so much overlap. And whenever I hear you speak, it just crystallizes things that have been floating around for me, but living without an organized way of putting things together and moving it forward.

And I'm just so grateful for your work and how practical it is.

It's always so much fun to talk to you.

I'm so excited to be able to do it on tape.

That's even better because I get to review it sometime.

Exactly.

Okay. So we're going to review it sometime. Exactly. Okay.
