Habit Nerd

This week’s episode is a little different, I got to be the guest!

Ange Davies invited me onto her Work and Wellness podcast, and we had such a rich conversation about habits, energy, and what it really takes to stay well at work.

I opened up about my personal experience with chronic fatigue and how it completely shifted the way I think about energy.

These days, I see energy as one of our most precious resources and I share how the concept of the “energy envelope” has helped me (and many of my clients) figure out how to spend it wisely.

We also talked about the habits that actually support us at work, from creating white space in our day to taking the smallest possible action when we’ve lost momentum.

Ange asked great questions that led us into some honest reflections on shame, values, and why self-alignment matters so much for habit change.

If you’ve ever felt like your work habits drain more than they give, this conversation will leave you with fresh strategies (and hopefully a little more compassion for yourself too).

Be honest, how many times have you started a new habit, felt really motivated for a week or two… and then slowly let it slide? You’re not alone. In fact, most of us fall into the same common traps when trying to make habits stick.

In this episode, I unpack the four biggest barriers that stop habits in their tracks:
🧠 Cognitive barriers – the beliefs and misconceptions that hold us back
🏠 Environmental barriers – the way our surroundings either support or sabotage us
👯 Social barriers – the influence of people around us (for better or worse)
🔥 Motivational barriers – why we lose steam, even with the best intentions

More importantly, I’ll share simple, actionable ways to overcome these challenges from reducing friction and making habits obvious, to pairing them with things you enjoy and tracking your wins.

If you’re tired of starting habits that never last, this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need to finally make them stick.

Hi Habit Nerds 👋

This episode is a little different — it’s just me, sharing the story behind The Habit Nerd.

Back in 2020, like so many of us, I was trying to do it all. Full-time work, parenting two kids, and studying for my doctorate… all during a global pandemic. On the outside I kept going, but inside I was completely overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I finally hit pause. That moment of reflection led me to dig into the research I knew and loved, and to start applying it in my own life. Those evidence-based strategies helped me manage my energy, graduate early from my Doctor of Education program, and most importantly, be more present for my daughters.

Out of that season, The Habit Nerd was born. The framework I now teach, balancing productivity and wellbeing, and focusing on what truly matters, came directly from this experience.

This isn’t just my story, it’s the foundation for why I’m so passionate about helping others build habits that support both their success and their wellbeing.

If you’d like to take the next step with me, doors are now open for the Life in Sync Beta Coaching Program, where I’ll guide you through the same systems and strategies that changed my life.

👉 Join the Beta Coaching Program here

Thanks for listening to this special episode, I hope it reminds you that change is possible, even in the most challenging seasons.

Be honest , does clutter creep into your home or workspace more often than you’d like? You’re not alone.

Disorganisation isn’t just about the “stuff” we can see, it’s also about our habits, our systems (or lack of them), and sometimes even the emotions we attach to the things we own.

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Revell, a decluttering expert and host of The Art of Decluttering podcast. Amy has a warm, practical way of helping us think differently about the spaces we live and work in.

Amy reminds us that decluttering isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating spaces that support our wellbeing, energy, and focus. And sometimes, the smallest step can make the biggest difference.

If you’ve been looking around your home or office and feeling overwhelmed, this conversation will give you both the motivation and the tools to get started.

You can connect with Amy at https://www.amyrevell.com.au or tune into her podcast The Art of Decluttering.

We spend so much time trying to manage our time but have you ever thought about how you manage your energy?

In this episode, I share a framework that completely changed the way I think about productivity and burnout: the energy envelope. It’s an idea that originally came from research on chronic fatigue, but honestly, it’s something we can all use in our everyday lives.

Here’s the gist: your energy works just like a bank account. Every task, decision, and conversation either deposits or withdraws from that account. When you overspend, you end up in debt, aka exhausted, overwhelmed, or burnt out. But when you stay within your envelope, you protect your energy and actually get more done with less stress.

🎧 Tune in, and let’s start protecting that precious energy of yours.

Hey Habit Nerds 👋

Let’s be honest, feeling stuck is something we’ve all been through. Maybe it’s in work, relationships, health, or just a general sense of meh. And sometimes, the more we try to “push through,” the harder it feels to actually move.

That’s why I loved this week’s conversation with Dr Emily Musgrove, a clinical psychologist and author of Unstuck. Emily brings such a compassionate, grounded perspective to what it really takes to get moving again, and why being stuck doesn’t mean you’re broken.

Emily also shares how books like hers can be a steady guide when access to mental health support is hard to come by.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re spinning your wheels or not sure what step to take next, this episode will help you slow down, get clear, and move forward in a way that aligns with what matters most to you.

This one’s personal.

In this solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my return to exercise after major surgery and let me tell you, it’s taken every bit of habit knowledge I’ve got to make it stick.

If you’ve ever found yourself starting from scratch with something that used to be easy (or maybe never was), I hope this encourages you.

I also share how I’m leaning on environment, self-reflection, and accountability — not because I have to be perfect, but because I want to feel good in my body again.

🎧 Tune in if you’re looking for practical tools, real-life honesty, and a reminder that slow progress is still progress.

We don’t always talk about the in between moments when motivation is low and habits feel hard, but this episode is one of those moments. Thanks for being here with me through it.

💛 Bree
