It's easy to see your partner as the problem when things feel unfair—but often, the patterns we feel stuck in are ones we've unwittingly helped create. In this NEW episode, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife joins Monica Packer of the About Progress podcast to talk about what it means to be a thoughtful change maker in your relationship. They explore how to recognize when you've been over-accommodating—and how avoiding conflict or ignoring your own desires can quietly erode both your well-being and the strength of the partnership. Dr. Finlayson-Fife teaches that change begins by owning your role in the current dynamic—and using that clarity to engage in honest, collaborative conversations with your partner.

Tune in to hear why consistently doing a little is better than sporadically doing a lot, why trying on other peoples' habits doesn't work, and how to  create new habits… and a new life.

Today's episode is all about a topic that hits close to home for many of us: revenge bedtime procrastination

Welcome back to Voices of Your Village and today Monica Packer and I got to dive into how to create habits when you're drained and overwhelmed. For me, when it comes to habits, it can feel like, okay, I'm going to do this thing and then I go all in on something and then it feels really overwhelming and it doesn't continue. Or I look at it and I'm like, oh, that sounds great and I'm so spent or beyond my bandwidth that I cannot add another thing in. Even if my current system isn't working, that sometimes even accessing the bandwidth for change feels overwhelming and hard. I love that Monica has broken down specific steps, ways to form habits with little time, low support, limited energy, and how we can form supportive habits without being perfect at them. There was so much room in her approach for fluidity for it not to always look the same because we are in different seasons of life at different times and I love that it makes it feel accessible and achievable and really helps with the like perfection side to feel like okay don't have to be perfect at this for it to be helpful or effective. So without further ado, let's dive into how to create habits when you're drained and overwhelmed with Monica Packer. All right, folks, let's dive in.

In today's episode, our guest Monica Packer, a leading expert in personal development, introduces her unique "progress model." Get ready for an eye-opening discussion on sustainable growth, breaking free from the "all or nothing lie," and leveraging your intuition to navigate your path to progress.

If you've been stuck on Exploring on the 5 Step Path from Surviving to Thriving, this week's episode is for you! Monica Packer shares how a Do Something List can be a powerful tool for exploring and discovering who you are and what you love. It's a practical push to find fulfillment in your everyday life. It is separate from a goals or resolutions list. It's more about exploration than competition.  Monica is also no stranger to struggles and survival seasons and you will hear how she has learned to navigate those seasons a little more gracefully and find peace with things looking differently when life gets hard. For Monica, the biggest lesson from the Do Something List is that the transformation lies in the process, not the outcome. It's not completing the list that brings fulfillment. It's in the trying that you rediscover who you are, be more of yourself, and experience the trickle-down effect that comes from that. Monica's Tips for a Do Something List Pick a timeframe that this list applies to (for example, the whole year or a season). Start with a lot of reflection on different parts of yourself that you want to bring back and things you want to try or are curious about. Finalize the list based on the things that are right for the season - not paying prices that are too high for the season you are in. It is a push to find time, but not to break you. Start small and in doable ways so you can gently stretch this part of yourself. You can take things off or add things to the list. Start with the funnest thing on your list that also seems doable or something that fits into what you are already doing (like trying new recipes). You don't need to complete your list! Monica never has in the last 8 years. You can get a step-by-step through and more ideas in this week's episode and dive deeper with Monica at: https://www.workinprogressacademy.co/dsl

Monica Packer is a recovering perfectionist and is sharing what she has discovered along her journey. Her big question is What if you're stuck but not lazy, what if you're actually a perfectionist? In this episode Monica and Sara will talk about perfectionism, and not just the stereotypical overachiever, but rather the spectrum, one that can be all-controlling and make you feel like you aren't making progress, then blame yourself, and so the cycle begins.   How many of us feel lost? Paralyzed by fear? Burdened by the obsession to be perfect but never seeming to measure up? Caught up in bad cycles that enable you to stay stagnate? Unsure of your own gifts? Many women feel lost in the cycles of perfectionism and procrastination. Sara is the biggest champion of getting women to overcome fear and grab life by the horns. And her guest today has the same desire to propel women into feeling good about what they do and how they live. Monica created her About Progress community and podcast that guides women to grow into living with purpose and connecting to their greater potential.  So, choose Progress over Perfection and Remember: Small wins build over time. And don't be too hard on yourself.

“Life is about progress not perfectionism” is the motto of our guest in this relaxed episode of the Super Entrepreneurs Podcast. Perfectionism is often fear and underachievement in disguise; this is why Monica Packer dedicated a period of her life to solving this mindset problem.   By solving a personal problem and developing a system to overcome that problem, Monica Packer became super.   Who Is Monica Packer? Monica is a dynamic and inspiring Progress Coach who has made it her mission to help women overcome the destructive patterns of perfectionism and move towards a life of real progress. As a recovering perfectionist herself, Monica knows firsthand the toll that self-doubt, negative self-talk, and the constant pressure to be perfect can take on a person's mental and emotional well-being. Through her podcast and coaching services, Monica provides a safe and supportive space for women to explore their gifts, confront their fears, and take meaningful steps towards the life they truly desire. How is Monica Packer Super?   Love of learning new stuff constantly and her determination are Monica Packer's innermost superpowers. Her strong faith in her inner strength to overcome self-imposed obstacles that spring from fear is another superpower that gives Monica Packer the mindset for success that she has.   Shahid Durrani's Key Insight: Shahid Durrani's key insight from this episode is the importance of realizing that changing your mindset is simple. However, that doesn't make it easy. Simple things are often the hardest to do because we approach them from the wrong place.   This is why mentorship from people who are more advanced on the path to success is such a vital thing to seek. Remember that the journey to success is not a race; it's more like an adventure where everyone collaborates.   Chapter Stamps:   00:00 Introductions: It's important to pronounce names correctly 01:57 Monica Packer's “About Progress” Podcast and other endeavors 03:17 Shahid Explains childhood paradigms and how they develop 05:10 Perfectionism is a coping mechanism 07:20 lust for results prevents good outcomes 10:07 Simple, but not easy (Miracle Equation by Hal Elrod) 14:00 Carl Jung's secret to mindset change 19:32 Love/faith, not fear 25:33 Family should be the ultimate focus 28:13 Super Entrepreneurs Podcast is about love 31:32 The knowing/doing gap (even mentors need mentors) 33:33 Monica Packer's Superpower: two-fold power 35:10 Final words: Monica's podcast is a must-listen     Pullout Quotes: "We don't even allow that flow, the nature, the flow of nature to work through us because we're creating all these barriers and blockages." “When our heart is poured into our business and our work, it's really easy to get wrapped up in the outcomes.” “Disappointment is a huge part of the journey that we're on as business owners.” “It's more than the goal we are reaching. It's who we are becoming along the way.” “A shift in your mindset is a shift in results.” “Don't misplace your sense of worth.” “If you want your business to succeed in the long-run, you gotta navigate from love.” “Your identity is separate from your outcome.”   Socials: About Progress: https://aboutprogress.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aboutprogress/?hl=en

In this episode, I discuss with Monica Packer the importance of expanding ourselves and how constricting this process and taking refuge in stasis, limits not only our peace with ourselves, but also our ability to whole-heartedly love our partner.
