Tea with Dee | Episode 34: Why Habits Fail and How to Make Them Stick

In this episode of Tea with Dee, Delynn Miller dives deep into a question so many of us quietly carry: Why can’t I make good habits last? Spoiler alert—it’s not because you’re lazy, undisciplined, or broken. It’s because you’ve been trying to change the behavior without upgrading the identity behind it.

With warmth, wit, and a whole lot of truth, Delynn peels back the layers on what it really takes to make habits feel natural—not forced. This episode isn’t about another 30-day challenge or morning routine overhaul. It’s about becoming the kind of woman who naturally chooses the things she once had to force.

Through powerful analogies (yes, even dusty yoga mats and outdated iPods) and a client story that hits close to home, you’ll learn how to:

• Shift your self-image to align with your highest self
• Stop making habits a punishment and start making them an act of love
• Create new behaviors from a place of worthiness—not shame
• Ask better questions that lead to lasting change
• Take small, aligned steps that actually stick

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your inconsistency, or caught in the cycle of “all in for a week, then fall off,” this episode will help you stop fighting yourself—and start becoming her.

Because you don’t need more willpower.
You need more alignment.

Listen in. Start small. And remember: you're not behind. You're becoming.
