Episode 211 - Making New Habits Stick After Major Life Changes

Let’s talk about building our personal success! Today, Mardi Winder gets real about something we all deal with, and that is our habits. You know, those little routines that can either make our lives easier or trip us up, especially when we’re going through big changes like a divorce.

Mardi chats with Ronnie Loaiza, life coach, personal trainer, journalist, and honestly, just an all-around inspiring person. Ronnie shares her own story of how she turned her health around and discovered the power of habits in every area of life.

Together, they break down simple ways to ditch old habits that don’t serve you, build new ones that actually stick, and why tiny changes make the biggest difference. From self-care to money mindset, there’s something here for everyone, whether you’re divorced, thinking about it, or just want to create some positive changes.

Mardi and Ronnie take a dive deep into why habits are so hard to change, how our brains are wired to resist anything new (even if the old ways aren’t serving us), and the secret to building habits that truly stick—hint: it’s all about starting small and making it realistic for your own life. They cover everything from that classic “New Year’s resolution” gym rush (and why it fizzles out) to the ways scrolling on your phone or careless spending can become invisible routines that eat up time and energy.

You’ll definitely pick up practical tips, maybe a few laughs, and feel empowered to make your own shifts. Plus, Ronnie’s got a special freebie for listeners and shares how you can reach out to her if you want more support. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s get started!
