In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey kick off the 2nd episode in the Building Better Goals series featuring habits. These are the building blocks of goals – those repeated actions we do day in and day out that shape us and form us, oftentimes so much more than we realize. We dig into the science of the brain that form habits and why they’re so powerful, and how to cultivate the right habits and good habits for you. It’s only the tip of the iceberg here, but it’s a meaty episode to dig into if you want to change the habits in your life!
