January motivation is loud—but it’s also fleeting. In this episode, Ruth breaks down why most people burn out by February and what actually creates lasting change instead. This isn’t about more discipline or willpower. It’s about building the right habits—habits that support your life instead of draining it.

Ruth shares the foundational habits she’s used to lose 49 pounds, build multiple successful businesses, and stay consistent through changing seasons—without crashing and burning every January.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why habits that rely on willpower are destined to fail
• The difference between project-based goals and habit-based goals
• The one habit Ruth says she’d keep forever—and why it changes everything
• How weekly planning protects your time, energy, and priorities
• Why urgent tasks always crowd out important ones (unless you intervene)
• How habit stacking makes consistency easier—not harder
• Which habits should be non-negotiable vs. flexible by season
• How to build habits that support your life instead of adding pressure

Key Quotes:

• "Habits aren’t meant to require willpower—they’re meant to replace it"
• "You don’t need to change everything at once to change your life"
• "Weekly planning is where intention replaces reaction"
• "Consistency comes from structure, not motivation"
• "The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress you can sustain"
