Episode 25: Changing This One Habit Can Change Your Life.
Sat Jan 17 2026
This episode, Judy and Jodi introduce a new, more personal segment focused on noticing mindset patterns as they show up in everyday life.
Judy reflects on a growing sense of mental fragmentation and self-criticism—an ongoing feeling of being behind and unable to keep up. Rather than treating this as a productivity issue, she explores the deeper story beneath it and the impact constant stimulation may be having on her focus and sense of ease.
A simple moment in a sauna, where nearly everyone was on their phones, becomes an opportunity to pause and reflect on how often quiet moments are filled with distraction. The conversation opens space to consider how frequent task-switching and constant connectivity can create mental noise and reduce presence.
Jodi shares her own experience of setting her phone down more often, noticing increased focus and a greater sense of control—along with the need to balance availability and boundaries.
Together, they discuss the value of approaching change with curiosity rather than rigidity. Judy describes a few small boundaries she’s experimenting with around phone use, framing them as an experiment rather than a solution.
The episode invites listeners to gently notice where friction exists in their own lives, what stories may be shaping their experience, and whether creating a small boundary could offer more clarity, calm, or intention.
