  EP 91: The social media post that knocked me flat

  Aug 9, 202612 minS2

  A few weeks ago I was on a flight home from the Gold Coast, scrolling LinkedIn on the free Wi-Fi (the small joys), when I came across a post that genuinely knocked me for six. It was from a coach named Jude Fredman, and it was about the thing none of us want to hear: that the work is going to take years, it's going to be slow and boring and uncomfortable, and there is no shortcut. In this episode, I'm sharing that post and being really honest about why it hit so hard for me. I talk about starting this very podcast, the early ambition I had for it, the reality of what it's actually looked like behind the scenes (the no's, the re-records, the nights I've wanted to quit), and why regret hurts more than the hard work ever will. Today's episode is proudly sponsored by my absolute favorite empowering stationery brand, MiGoals ! I am a total convert for life to their Goal Digger Planner. It has completely transformed how I organize my vision, short-term goals, and daily structure.

  Episode #90

  EP 90: Maria Ruberto on The Sleep Advantage: Unlocking Energy, Focus and Connection

  Aug 2, 202632 minS2

  Have you ever wondered why it feels almost impossible to stick to healthy habits, stay patient, or make good decisions when you’re running on low sleep? In this episode of The Habit Nerd , I am so excited to be joined by psychologist, resilience expert, and founder of Salutagenic Psychology, Maria Ruberto ! With over 30 years of experience, Maria translates complex neuroscience into practical, life-changing strategies. Together, we unpack Maria's core philosophy, Biology Before Behavior, and explore why sleep isn't a luxury or a reward for hard work, but a non-negotiable biological necessity for high performance, emotional resilience, and healthy habits. Connect with Maria: Website: ⁠ https://www.salutegenics.com.au/ Instagram: @salutegenics If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to join me in the Tiny Habits Reset — my 17 day challenge where we slow things down, notice what's running on autopilot, and make tiny intentional shifts that actually stick.

  Episode #89

  EP 89: How to Think Less and Do More (With One Simple Tool)

  Jul 26, 202619 minS2

  Let me ask you a quick question: Have you ever reached 10:00 AM on a weekday and felt completely mentally exhausted, even though you haven't actually accomplished much yet? If so, you are definitely not alone. So many of us walk around using our brains as glorified storage units! We carry around appointments, to-do lists, groceries we need to buy, and emails we haven't answered, expecting our minds to keep track of it all. But here’s the truth: your brain is designed to process information, not store it. In today's episode, we are diving deep into cognitive psychology to understand why carrying all those "open tabs" in your head causes massive mental fatigue and how one simple, physical tool can free up your cognitive space, cut through overwhelm, and turn your vague intentions into real action. Today's episode is proudly sponsored by my absolute favorite empowering stationery brand, MiGoals ! I am a total convert for life to their Goal Digger Planner.

  EP 88: The one question you should be asking yourself

  Jul 19, 202622 minS2

  Have you ever found yourself completely stuck, facing a situation that feels so overwhelming or scary that you assume the outcome is entirely out of your hands? Lately, I’ve been right there with you. In this episode, I’m getting incredibly vulnerable about a personal challenge I’m navigating right now: going through a grueling, highly competitive annual promotion process at the university where I teach. For weeks, I let myself spiral into a story that I couldn't succeed, focusing purely on what I couldn't control. Until I caught myself and asked the game-changing question we are unpacking today: "What's one thing I can control in this situation?" If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to join me in the Tiny Habits Reset, a 17 day challenge where we slow things down, notice what's running on autopilot, and make tiny intentional shifts that actually stick.
