Why Slowing Down is the Fastest Way to Change - 387

Author: Pam Howard January 6, 2026 Duration: 7:31

January can come with a lot of pressure.

Set goals. Build momentum. Hit the ground running. Fix what's not working . . . and do it fast.

Today's episode goes in the opposite direction.

Instead of talking about how to change faster, I talk about why slowing down is often the fastest way to get different results in your parenting.

When something isn't working, it makes sense to want it fixed immediately. Especially if you're snapping at your kids, feeling guilty, or watching yourself repeat patterns you swore you'd stop. The instinct is to push harder and try to do better.

What I see over and over, though, is that trying to change too quickly actually keeps moms stuck in the same patterns.

Listen to the episode to see how slowing down can move you forward faster this year.
