The Habit Theory That Changed My Life, Explained

When I started the podcast I wanted it to be all about life improvement from every angle, not just the ones we're all taught about.

We've put so much effort into improving the guest episodes this year, but if I'm totally honest I felt the solo episodes needed re-vamping to make them the most useful resource possible. I LOVE explainer podcasts on everything from history to celebrity scandals. So we're trialling a new 15-minute explainer format. I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important.

So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: habit theory and why everyone on Instagram says it changed their life (including me).

The episode is only 15 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk! Let me know what you think!

  • As someone with adhd, this video is perfect! Quick, straight to the point & really educational! Thank you ❤
  • I like these, they’re quick for mornings & like you said “refreshers” which we all need
  • @Larisodr
    YES! I LOVEEEE! Please keep these coming 🥹 as a busy mum to a 3 year old, who’s a full time student and work part time, I’m very limited in time to be able to read these great books and actually take it all in, these episodes are PERFECT
  • I absolutely love the bite-sized episodes. Honestly videos that are 15min+ I lose interested way faster because my attention span is absolutely garbage (something I actively need to look into how I can improve.. so.. if that's something you are also interested it... that could be a video idea hehe). Also watching someone talk about something they actively have interest in makes it more enjoyable because the viewer can feed off the excitement of the broadcaster which then subsequently makes it easier for them to absorb the actual information! This was fantastic Grace, was here in the early days, then went on a Lord of the Rings adventure and just found you again and it made my heart soar at how you've established yourself in that time!
  • @OyindaAkinyanju
    Yes to more episodes like this Grace! Absolutely loved this format and the curation of the information collected.
  • @amyvrd17
    I love these explainer / short form videos - perfect for a lunch break when you can’t commit to a full poddy!
  • @ineslima5784
    Yesssss! Love these episodes, in-depth and actually practical enough to apply straight away
  • @KeianaByfield
    absolutely love how in-depth and digestible this is!
  • I just loved it. Especially the way Grace explains things to the point is obvious, and straightforward forward, and quickly feels like we are saving a lot of time while also getting plenty of knowledge out of these podcasts. I am going to apply this to my top most prioritized goal. Thank you Grace Beverley for bringing amazing stuff.
  • @MaryamJeremy
    How can one make “Making money a habit?” I just realized 80% of my goals depend on my finances 😢
  • Thanks for this episode Grace! Absolutely loved it, I watched it for my own personal improvement but I want to help others create good financial habits so I'll be watching again for my community. 🙌
  • @Rachelmay97
    I've been loving these types of videos this year! It feels like they come around just at the right time!! - would love to hear anything else you're passionate about that can also help us reach our goals of being better people
  • @ellisrose333
    Honestly I really really love this! Bite sized/refresher videos are amazing. I just listened to this whilst doing my make up before work. I’ve read the book but I like daily reminders and this was perfect… more on self improvement please!!!!!
  • @malikrudo2759
    Your videos about productivity are my favorite thing ever!
  • @lizanarska
    exactly what I needed to hear on a Monday morning, amazing vid to see at the start of the week, convinced me to make a to-do list for today/this week and I already can't wait to fulfil it lol, thank you so much :))
  • I don’t know how I managed to find your channel, but this specific video appeared and I enjoyed every minute of it. I’m glad it wasn’t too long, just straight to the point and loved the examples. Please continue to make more of these!
  • @abbielobb
    Definitely needed to hear this today!! The way you explain things is so easy to consume but is also so needed and relevant. Every time I hear you say something I think why didn’t I know this before😂 You are such an incredible source of knowledge & life advice for us girlies. I’d love to see more videos like this.
  • @activeary
    Loveeed this!!! So good, thank you for sharing! Loved the length as well, easy digestible and so informative 🙏🏾 Also found it so interesting that he explained how certain behaviours can never become habits but become part of your routine. Thank youu Grace!
