Episode notes

New York Times Bestselling author Annabelle Gurwitch was not familiar with New York Times Bestselling author James Clear until recently. TV writer and aspiring author Laura House gets to take credit for telling Annabelle about Clear’s wildly successful book Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones. There’s even a tease on the book’s cover that makes it all the more surprising it escaped Annabelle’s notice: “Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results”.

 

In this week’s episode, Laura reveals how she plans on applying the lessons of Atomic Habits to achieve one of her lifelong goals, and inspires Annabelle along the way.

 

It’s 2023. Let’s be tiny, so we can be GREAT…or, you know, the best we can be with whatever 2023 decides to throw at us.

Do YOU have a tiny victory to share?

We want folks to share their tiny victories on our hotline because, frankly, we’ll assume we’re just talking into the void every week and nothing matters. Prove us wrong. Did you finally do that thing you were putting off? Tiny victory! Reconnect with someone you haven’t been in touch with for ages? Victory! We only ask that you try to keep messages to under a minute so we’re able to play it on the show.

 

If you prefer, you can record a tiny victory on your phone and then email us the audio.

About the show

Tiny Victories is the 15 minute podcast that pushes back on the notion that you have to “go big” or “go home”. Sometimes just going is the victory. Each week, hosts Annabelle Gurwitch and Laura House invite listeners to adopt a TINY victory frame of mind, and share tales of fleeting joys and minor accomplishments in this majorly messed-up world.

What’s your Tiny Victory? Annabelle and Laura invite audience members to share stories on the Tiny Victories Hotline. To send in your Tiny Victory, call (323) 285-1675 or record a voice memo of your victory and email the file to tinyvictories@maximumfun.org.

Follow Tiny Victories at @GetTinyPod on Twitter and Instagram.
