Dr. Becky and Charles Duhigg unpack habit science, why clarity creates hope, and how small shifts (better cues, named rewards, and repair over punishment) can lower tension and build connection at home - with your partner, your kids, and yourself. This episode is for anyone who wants to communicate more clearly and make change finally stick.
