Linda Fogg-Phillips & Pearl Habits

Stories of Change & Creativity

Challenge and change are a part of life. And it's often difficult to find the strength to carry on and keep moving forward.
In this episode, Linda Fogg-Phillips shares her personal story of resilience and determination. She faced the triple blow of a family business collapse during the 2008 financial crisis, the heart-wrenching loss of her son Garrett and the death of her husband. These tragic events eventually led to the creation of the Pearl Habits Method.
The Pearl Habit Method was created by BJ Fogg Ph.D. and developed by Linda Fogg-Phillips as a way to implement behavior change through small, easy steps. During our interview, you'll hear some of Linda's most successful Pearl Habits. Pearl Habits are simple. There are two parts: the irritant and the pearl.
Linda Fogg-Phillips has spent more than 30 years studying health behaviors, including nutrition, fitness, and mental health. She is on a mission to help others live a happier and healthier life. As the CEO and Co-Founder of the Tiny Habits® Academy, Linda's work focuses on behavior change and habit design. She is a regular guest lecturer at Stanford University and is a featured family health expert in the media and in publications.

As the mother of eight children, Linda has had her own behavior change and habit design laboratory for more than 40 years. During our interview, Linda and I talk about grief, the power of choice and gratitude. She always tells her children, "Be better, not bitter." During tragedy, Linda worked hard to be her 'best self' for her children.
