138. The Magic of Starting Small: 5-Minute Habits That Change Everything


Listen Later

Are you a Type B or Type C mom feeling overwhelmed by your home, drowning in clutter, or stuck in that frustrating “where do I even begin?” spiral?

This episode of The Slay At Home Podcast is your gentle lifeline. We’re diving deep into the science, psychology, and soul behind the power of 5-minute habits—why they work, how they transform your identity, and how they’re especially powerful for moms battling decision fatigue, perfectionism, and burnout.

No more waiting for motivation. No more aiming for perfect. Just small, doable, deeply meaningful progress—5 minutes at a time.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • Why overwhelm—not laziness—is the root cause for most moms who feel stuck

  • The neuroscience of clutter and how your brain responds to visual overload

  • How tiny actions (yes, even one wiped counter!) can trigger real dopamine hits and emotional momentum

  • Why BJ Fogg’s “Tiny Habits” method works like magic for busy, overstimulated moms

  • How to build habits that stick even if you're exhausted, neurodivergent, or allergic to routines

  • Real-life stories from Type B moms who’ve transformed their homes with only 5 minutes a day

    💛 Gentle Homework:

    Pick one 5-minute habit this week. Tie it to an existing cue (like pouring coffee or brushing your teeth), and just start. Celebrate yourself out loud when you finish. Then come share your win with us in the free community Type B Mom Society Facebook group! 

    Your home doesn’t need a miracle makeover—it just needs a little bit of love, over and over again.

    You’re not behind. You’re just starting. And starting small is still starting.
