Every January, we promise ourselves this will be the year we're more consistent, more organized, and more on top of things. And every year, most of those habits quietly fade by February.

In this episode of The At Last Podcast, Erica breaks down why New Year habits fail, what Atomic Habits by James Clear teaches us about building habits that actually last, and how systems, not motivation, are the real key to change.

This episode is especially for wedding musicians and creative wedding vendors who want to build businesses that support their lives, not consume them.

You'll learn:

• Why focusing on goals instead of systems keeps you stuck
  
  

• The four principles from Atomic Habits that make habits easier to maintain
  
  

• Real-life examples of habits built through systems, not willpower
  
  

• How small environmental changes create massive long-term consistency
  
  

• Why identity-based habits are more powerful than intention-based goals

Whether you're trying to get more organized, prepare better for weddings, or simply feel less scattered in your day-to-day life, this episode will help you rethink habits in a way that actually feels doable.

🎧 Listen in and start designing habits that work with your life, not against it.
