    Why Do I Keep Going Back to Habits I Swore I’d Change?

    Why do I keep going back to old habits, breaking promises to myself, and struggling to change bad habits even when I know better? If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, procrastinating, stress eating, overspending, scrolling, people-pleasing, or abandoning healthy habits you genuinely wanted to create, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks offers a different way to look at the problem. What if the habit you’re trying to eliminate is actually doing something FOR you? An old habit may provide comfort, escape, relief, approval, control, distraction, or another short-term benefit, even when you don’t like the long-term result. In this short episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why willpower and motivation alone may not be enough to break an old habit, how to become curious about the need underneath your behavior, and one simple question that can help you understand why you keep returning to patterns you swore you’d change. Instead of only asking, “How do I stop this habit?” you’ll learn to ask: What does this habit give me in the moment? And then: What’s another way I could give myself that?

    What Are You Getting from Putting Yourself Last?

    Why do I keep putting myself last, people-pleasing, over-giving, and taking care of everyone else before myself? If you’ve struggled with putting yourself first, setting boundaries, saying no without guilt, asking for help, or prioritizing your own needs, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks explores a question you may have never considered. What are you getting from putting yourself last? You may not consciously choose to over-give or exhaust yourself. But sometimes an old pattern continues because it’s meeting a deeper need. Maybe being needed makes you feel valuable. Maybe saying yes helps you avoid guilt or disappointing someone. Maybe doing everything yourself gives you a sense of control. Or maybe being “the strong one” has become part of your identity. In this short episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores the connection between people-pleasing, self-worth, boundaries, identity, over-giving, receiving support, and the hidden reasons women keep putting themselves last. You’ll also get one simple question to help you recognize what’s underneath the pattern so you can begin making different choices. Because getting unstuck isn’t only about changing what you do. Sometimes you have to understand why the old behavior has been so hard to let go of. Want to go deeper? Carrie Marie’s Stuck Point Quiz and Stuck Point Scan help uncover what’s keeping you stuck, and inside the Rich Girl Network women’s community, you’ll work on the habits, beliefs, boundaries, self-talk, worth, receiving, and identity that help you become the woman you want to be.

    I Don’t Know What I Want Anymore. Now What?

    I don’t know what I want anymore. If you’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else, managing responsibilities, putting your own dreams aside, or simply getting through everyday life that you no longer know what YOU want, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks is for you. But what if you haven’t actually lost sight of what you want? What if you’ve simply gotten so good at talking yourself out of what you want that you’ve stopped hearing yourself? In this short episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why women can become disconnected from their dreams, desires, goals, and future selves, and why every “I’d love to…BUT” may reveal a deeper stuck point. You’ll discover a simple exercise to help you reconnect with what you actually want, without immediately filtering your answer through money, time, responsibilities, fear, guilt, or what everyone else might think. Because before you can create a life that feels like yours, you have to be willing to admit what you want from it. ✨ Want to uncover what’s keeping you stuck and start becoming the woman who creates the life she actually wants?

    When Did My Life Become One Giant To-Do List?

    Does your life feel like one giant to-do list? If you’re overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, carrying the mental load, taking care of everyone else, and constantly wondering how you’ll get everything done, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks may change the way you look at your to-do list. Because the problem may not simply be that you have too much to do. It may be that you’ve taken responsibility for things that were never actually yours to carry. In this episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why busy, overwhelmed women can become the person who remembers everything, plans everything, fixes everything, takes care of everyone, and automatically says yes. You’ll learn how over-giving, people-pleasing, weak boundaries, guilt, and old patterns can quietly turn your life into one endless list of responsibilities. Most importantly, you’ll hear one powerful question that can help you identify what’s actually yours to carry and what may finally be time to put down. You’ll also discover why changing your to-do list may not be enough if you don’t address the stuck point underneath the pattern. This week’s challenge is simple: find ONE thing you’re carrying that doesn’t actually have to be yours. Because being capable of carrying everything doesn’t mean you should. ✨ Ready to uncover what’s keeping you stuck and become the woman who creates the life she actually wants?

    Why Do I Feel Guilty Every Time I Do Something for Myself?

    Why do I feel guilty every time I do something for myself? If you feel guilty taking time for yourself, spending money on yourself, resting, saying no, prioritizing your needs, or doing something simply because YOU enjoy it, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks is for you. So many women have become accustomed to taking care of everyone else that self-care can actually feel selfish. You finally take the afternoon off…and think about everything you should be doing. You spend money on yourself…and immediately question whether you should have. You say no to something…and feel guilty. You prioritize your health, happiness, dreams, or goals…and wonder whether you’re letting someone else down. But where does that guilt actually come from? In this episode, Carrie Marie explores why women can feel guilty prioritizing themselves and how the invisible rules we’ve accumulated about being a “good” mom, wife, daughter, friend, employee, or caregiver can influence the choices we make. You’ll discover: ✨ Why doing something for yourself and being selfish are NOT the same thing✨ The hidden “shoulds” that may be creating guilt✨ One powerful question to uncover the invisible rules you’re living by✨ Why you don’t need to “earn” rest, joy, or time for yourself✨ How to stop asking whether you deserve something✨ Why small acts of choosing yourself can help change old patterns✨ What your choices may be modeling for your daughters and other women✨ 3 simple shifts to help you prioritize yourself without letting guilt make the decision And you’ll leave with a simple challenge you can try today to start changing your relationship with self-care, guilt, and putting yourself first. Because taking care of yourself doesn’t mean you’ve stopped caring about everyone else. It means you’ve finally included yourself among the people you’re responsible for caring about. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and then ask yourself: What would change in my life if taking care of myself stopped being something I felt guilty about?

    You’re Not Bad at Relaxing… Your Body Forgot How

    Why can’t you relax even when you finally have time to rest? If you feel guilty relaxing, struggle to slow down, constantly feel stressed or overwhelmed, or always think about what you “should” be doing, your nervous system and stress response may be part of the reason. In this episode of the Holistic Mama Speaks podcast, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why so many busy women have become so accustomed to rushing, doing, caregiving, multitasking, and being needed that actually slowing down can feel uncomfortable. Maybe you finally sit down…and immediately start thinking about your to-do list. You take a day off…and somehow fill it with chores and errands. You go on vacation…but your mind keeps wandering back to everything waiting for you at home or work. Or maybe you’ve spent so many years taking care of everyone else that you’re not even sure what YOU enjoy anymore. Sound familiar? In this episode, you’ll discover: • Why your body can become accustomed to constantly being “on”• How chronic stress and fight-or-flight can make slowing down difficult• Why you may feel guilty when you’re not being productive• The connection between your nervous system, identity, stress, and rest• Why rushing can become an unconscious habit• 3 simple ways to begin making rest and self-care feel more normal• How to start putting yourself back into your own life• A simple 10-minute challenge you can try TODAY This isn’t about abandoning your responsibilities or spending your entire day doing nothing. It’s about learning that you don’t have to earn the right to enjoy your own life. And maybe the next version of you doesn’t need to become better at doing MORE. Maybe she needs to become comfortable with slowing down, receiving support, experiencing joy, and actually enjoying the life she’s working so hard to create.
