Habit Nerd

Dr Bree Hurn

Few things can have a more powerful impact on your life than improving your daily habits. Essentially, your habits matter because they help you become the type of person you wish to be. So what are the work, health and mindset habits that lead to a remarkable life? And what can the research tell us about forming positive habits and overcoming those that don’t serve us?

    EP 63: Summer Series w/ Dr. Emily Musgrove

    In this Summer Series episode, I’m revisiting a conversation that so many of you told me stayed with you long after listening. I’m joined by clinical psychologist and author Dr. Emily Musgrove to explore what’s really going on when we feel “stuck” and why it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you. Feeling stuck is a deeply human experience, and when we understand it through a psychological and neuroscience lens, it becomes something we can work with, not fight against. We talk about how habits shape who we are, why goals often fail when they’re disconnected from our values, and how flipping that relationship can change everything. Emily explains the role of the inner critic — how it can sometimes protect us, but also keep us frozen — and why compassionate self-talk is essential for sustainable change. 📚 Connect with Dr Emily Musgrove: Website: ⁠www.dremilymusgrove.com⁠ Instagram: ⁠@dremilymusgrove⁠ Unstuck (book): ⁠Link to purchase Book Your FREE 30-Minute Clarity Call This call is designed to help you get clear on what’s draining your energy and where to start.

    The mindset tool that I wish I learned earlier

    Fear gets such a bad rap. In this episode, I’m sharing a mindset tool I really wish I’d learned earlier in life because for a long time, fear quietly ran the show for me. It stopped me from speaking up, going after things I wanted, and becoming the version of myself I knew I was capable of being. But here’s what I’ve learned: fear isn’t a stop sign, it’s information. We unpack why most of the things we worry about never actually happen, how fear is often just a forward projection of worst-case scenarios, and why the discomfort you’re feeling might actually be pointing you toward growth. I also share how reframing fear (instead of trying to eliminate it) helped me take braver action and build a new identity over time. ✨ Bonus Replay ✨If you’re a busy, multi-passionate mum who wants to build energy, boost productivity, and create sustainable systems at home and work, this is for you. 👉 Catch the replay of my Free Webinar and discover how to manage your energy, avoid burnout, and finally start doing less while achieving more.

    Sleep Smarter: Science-Backed Habits for Restful Nights

    Let’s talk about sleep — the habit we often push to the bottom of the list, even though it quietly runs everything. In this episode, I’m breaking down why sleep isn’t passive rest, but active repair for your brain and body. If you’re waking up tired, wired at night, or feeling foggy during the day, this episode will help you understand what’s actually getting in the way and what to do about it. I walk you through five science-backed habits that support better sleep without perfection, gadgets, or unrealistic routines. We talk about consistency over catch-up, how your environment shapes your nervous system, and why your bedtime routine matters far more than you think. This isn’t about sleeping longer. It’s about sleeping smarter so your days feel clearer, calmer, and more energised. ✨ Bonus Replay ✨If you’re a busy, multi-passionate mum who wants to build energy, boost productivity, and create sustainable systems at home and work, this is for you. 👉 Catch the replay of my Free Webinar and discover how to manage your energy, avoid burnout, and finally start doing less while achieving more.
