Are you feeling a bit restless? Ready for a reset—or simply curious about what’s next? Do you have a fleeting desire for more connection IRL?

If so, TINY HABITS, REAL LIFE, the third gathering in our STIRRED, NOT STUCK series of casual Sunday evening conversations in the upstairs listening room, may be just the thing.

Host Melissa Hicks, who has a background in learning design, will guide the evening—helping you take stock of your current life: what’s working, what’s not, and what you want more of in 2026. Together, you’ll name a few priorities and sketch one or two tiny, low-pressure experiments to try this month.

This is a plain-English, no-pressure evening that feels more like a relaxed lab than a self-help boot camp. Expect engaging conversation, shared stories, and a simple “design my day” exercise—so you leave with a few concrete tweaks that fit your real life, not someone else’s ideal routine.

OVERVIEW: An evening to turn vague good intentions into tiny habits that can survive real‑world chaos. Participants scan a few areas of life, pick one that matters now, and design “After I , I will ” habits that are small, specific, and attached to moments that already happen in their day, with help from tablemates to shrink and refine them.

WHO SHOULD COME: People who are exhausted by big resolutions that never stick. Folks with a long mental list of “I should…” and no bandwidth for overhaul. Anyone who wants change that fits into a messy, already‑full life.
