Learning 180 matrix

Hey! I've been trying for a few months to slowly learn the 180 matrix on my toes, after transitioning from forwards to backwards.

I incorporate heel and toe flare drills to get my weight distribution better and try to get to the rink 2x a week, wish I could do more but my schedule is busy!

I find that after I transition from front to backwards, I'm in a staggered stance, try to engage my core and when I'm about to try the 180 matrix I can't keep my toes and knees pointed inwards very well to do the move and return forwards. One foot is supposed to lead and the other should follow, however I end making a silly turn on my toes! Any tips are appreciated!
