Are you tired of hearing the same cookie-cutter advice about habits? In this episode of Goal Slayer, Kaitlin Anthony sits down with Alessia Citro, author of Higher Self Habits, to dismantle the male-centric narrative around habit formation. Together, they dive deep into why traditional habit advice often misses the mark for women and how to create a habit strategy that actually works with our dynamic lives. From small, intentional changes to redefining what success looks like, this conversation is packed with empowering insights you won’t want to miss.

Alessia shares her personal story of transformation, exploring how foundational habits not only saved her life but also became the cornerstone of her mission to help others. Kaitlin and Alessia unpack the idea that habits aren’t about rigid perfection but about meeting yourself where you are—whether that’s a chaotic morning with cold coffee or a sacred solo moment to recharge. Plus, Alessia reveals a simple yet game-changing approach to habit-building that will have you rethinking everything you’ve been taught about morning routines.

This episode isn’t just about building habits; it’s about building habits that work for you. Tune in to hear why self-awareness, flexibility, and celebrating small wins are key to transforming your life without burnout.

Key Highlights:

• The difference between women’s and men’s approaches to habits (and why it matters!)
• A refreshing take on ditching rigid morning routines and creating your own “habit menu.”
• Why perfectionism sabotages progress—and how to embrace micro-wins instead.
• The role of seasons and self-compassion in designing habits that stick.
• A new perspective on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and how it relates to habit formation.
