This monthly series features an episode sharing my recent highs and lows, how my habits are going, a Do Something List update, plus what I'm loving lately and my commitments for the upcoming month. I hope this glimpse into my life, my family, my work, and my own self development encourages you in your own journey. Around here the goal is never perfection, just to keep trying, even if in very simple ways. I think you'll see that with all of the big changes going on for me, taking the smallest of steps has helped to keep me afloat and feeling like myself. As always, I encourage you to get messy, too!   ⁠Preorder Sticky Habits ⁠book today! Join the ⁠Book Launch Committee⁠ for behind-the-scenes and first peeks at all things book.

Monica Packer, a coach and host, guides About Progress with a refreshingly grounded perspective. She operates from a simple but powerful idea: meaningful change in our health, fitness, education, and mental well-being isn't about becoming a flawless machine. Instead, this podcast explores the tangible, often messy steps of real growth. You'll hear conversations that feel like a supportive talk with a clear-eyed friend-someone who offers both compassion and a necessary nudge forward. Each episode is designed to move you from intention to action, focusing on strategies that integrate into an imperfect life. The discussions naturally span the categories of self-improvement, from practical fitness tips to mental health insights, all without demanding perfection. This isn't about theoretical ideals; it's about what works when you're juggling the complexities of daily living. Tune in for a resource that feels both gentle and effective, a space where progress is measured in sustainable shifts rather than dramatic overhauls. The About Progress podcast, from Cloud10, builds a community around this practical approach, offering listeners the tools to grow in ways that genuinely stick. You can expect candid stories, actionable advice, and a consistent reminder that moving forward is always possible, exactly where you are.
