[264] “I’m Not a Routine Person” ... Why That’s Not the Real Problem
Send us a textEver feel like you're just not a "routines person"? Before you blame yourself, listen in. In this episode of the Real Happy Mom Podcast, we’re breaking down five reasons why your routines aren’t sticking—and none of them have to do with your motivation or willpower. If you’ve ever tried someone else’s perfect system and felt like a failure, this is your reminder: it’s not you, it’s the routine.What You’ll Learn:Why most routines are built for ideal conditions (and what to do instead).How to build a routine that fits your energy, season, and lifestyle.Why flexibility—not perfection—is the secret to consistency.3 Takeaways:Make It Fit Real Life: Routines built on someone else’s perfect day won’t survive real-life interruptions. Yours should bend with your season, not break at the first challenge.Keep It Simple + Flexible: Small, repeatable routines—like a 10-minute tidy or 3-step morning reset—are more effective than rigid, overwhelming systems.You’re Not the Problem—The System Might Be: You don’t need more discipline—you need tools that support you, not stress you out. A Trello board or 3 go-to dinners might be your real secret weapon.Links & Resources Mentioned:🔧 Get the Get Stuff Done Toolkit📥 Join the Confident Mom Life waitlist🧽 Listen to Episode 98: Get Kids to Help with Chores Without Complaining📋 Grab the Sunday Prep ChecklistSupport the show

Hey there, mom! Are you juggling all the things in motherhood from managing your time, getting healthy meals on the table, to being a present wife all while making yourself a priority without feeling guilty? I get it! It’s overwhelming... and guess what? The fact that you need support... doesn’t make you a bad mom! That’s why I created the Real Happy Mom Podcast. The Real Happy Mom Podcast is a weekly show for busy working moms juggling it all. Each week, I’m bringing you inspirational stories from real-life moms as well as interviews with leading experts in various fields to encourage you on your motherhood journey and help you live an authentic life. In this podcast we will not only navigate motherhood by talking about time management, gentle parenting and self-care. But we will also go deep into topics you may have been afraid to explore, like intimacy with your spouse, communication with your kids, health, wellness and frustrations that come through inner confidence as a mom and wife. Mom life is beautiful and fun, but it's also challenging and messy at times. Motherhood is the one job that we don't get proper training or an instruction manual when we come home with our new baby. Every day is on the job training. I’m here to help you navigate motherhood that's true to you so that you can be a real happy mom. Welcome to the Real Happy Mom Podcast, mom friend! You are in the right place. Learn -- www.realhappymom.com | Be a Guest- www.realhappymom.com/guest
