Welcome back everyone! As you all know this Podcast's purpose is to be able to come together and talk about growth, courage, and the small steps that help us build a healthier, kinder life. We are your hosts today, Luis & Ashlee, and today we're diving into Week One of your SMART fitness goals, that crucial first stretch where excitement meets reality.If you've set fitness goals for the new year, this episode is for you. If you meant to set goals but haven't started yet, this episode is also for you.And if you're already feeling yourself slipping a little… you're definitely in the right place. Let's get into it. We'll go into "WHY WEEK ONE MATTERS" Week One is powerful. It sets the tone. It builds momentum. It teaches your brain, “Hey, we're doing this now.” But Week One is also where people tend to overdo it, burn out, or get discouraged. So today, we're going to slow it down and focus on SMART goals.Last week we touched on what those are, but just as a quick refresher here, smart goals that are: Specific / Measurable / Achievable / Relevant / Time‑bound and we're going to talk about how to stay accountable in a way that feels supportive, not stressful. Because fitness isn't punishment. It's a form of self‑respect."SETTING YOUR WEEK ONE SMART FITNESS GOAL"Let's walk through a simple Week One SMART goal. A lot of people start with something like: “I'm going to work out every day for an hour.” That sounds great… until life happens.A SMART Week One goal might look like: “For the next 7 days, I'll walk for 15 minutes, three times this week, to boost my energy and build consistency. ”Notice the difference: It's clear, It's doable, It's flexible, It builds confidence instead of pressure. Here are a few more. Week One SMART fitness goal examples: “I'll stretch for 5 minutes every morning before I check my phone.” “I'll drink one extra glass of water each day this week.” “I'll do a 10‑minute beginner workout on Tuesday and Thursday.” Week One is about showing up, not showing off.Let's dive into the next piece: "HOW TO TRACK YOUR FIRST WEEK" Tracking is where SMART goals come alive. It turns invisible effort into visible progress.Here are simple ways to track Week One:A calendar with check-marksA notes appA fitness appA whiteboardA sticky note on your mirrorThe method doesn't matter. What matters is that you can see your consistency. Because when you see progress, you want to keep going.Let's talk about "ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAME". Let's talk accountability, the supportive kind, not the “beat yourself up” kind. Here are four ways to stay accountable in Week One:Choose an accountability partner who roots for youNot someone who pressures you. Someone who says, “How can I support you today?”Celebrate micro‑wins. Did you walk for 10 minutes instead of 15? That's still a win. You showed up.Adjust instead of abandoning. If your goal feels too big, shrink it. If it feels too small, grow it. Adjusting is not failing, it's strategizing.Use “habit anchors” Attach your fitness action to something you already do: After brushing your teeth → stretchAfter lunch → take a 10‑minute walkAfter work → fill your water bottleAnchors make habits automatic. aka habit stacking"WHAT TO EXPECT EMOTIONALLY IN WEEK ONE"Let's be real. Week One isn't just physical. It's emotional.You might feel:ExcitedNervousImpatientProudDoubtfulAll of the aboveThis is normal.Your brain is adjusting to a new pattern. Your body is waking up. Your mindset is shifting. So just give yourself grace guys..You're not supposed to be perfect... you're supposed to be present."A QUICK GUIDED REFLECTION"Take a breath with me. Think about the fitness goal you set. Now ask yourself:Why does this matter to me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What's one small action I can take today to support that feeling?Hold onto that answer. That's your anchor.If you're starting your fitness journey this week, I'm proud of you. If you're restarting, I'm proud of you too and if you're listening because you want to feel inspired again… you're already on your way. Thanks for joining us today on the Podcast!If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting their own goals this year.And remember — kindness, consistency, and small steps will take you farther than perfection ever will. So as always be kind to yourself and everyone else, be that change you want to see in the world and keep being You!See you next time! Tip of the Day:Week One is about building trust with yourself. Every small step counts. Every checkmark matters. Every moment you choose to show up, even for five minutes, is a victory.Shoutouts!

Welp, it's almost 2026! Today we're breaking down how to set New Year's goals that actually stick, without pressure, guilt, or perfectionism. Just clarity, compassion, and small steps forward.Let's jump in!Step 1: WHAT MAKES A GOAL SMARTSMART goals are:• Specific• Measurable• Achievable• Relevant• Time‑boundMost goals fail because they're too vague. “Get healthier,” “be more confident,” “save money” — great intentions, zero clarity. SMART goals give you a roadmap instead of a wish.Step 2: THE KINDER APPROACHBefore you set any goal, ask yourself:• Does this goal come from pressure or from purpose?• Does it make my life heavier or lighter?• Is this something I want, or something I think I should want?When your goals come from self‑compassion, they last longer.Step 3: QUICK SMART GOAL EXAMPLESLet's take “I want to get healthier.”SMART version:“For the next 30 days, I'll walk 10 minutes a day to boost my energy.”Or “I want to be more confident.”SMART version:“Every Monday, I'll write down one thing I did well that week.”Small. Clear. Doable.Step 4: MICRO‑GOALSMicro‑goals are tiny actions that build momentum:• Drink one extra glass of water• Read for five minutes• Clean one drawer• Spend 10 minutes on a creative projectThese small wins build trust with yourself — and trust fuels consistency.Step 5: ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT SHAMEAccountability doesn't have to feel like judgment. It can be supportive:• Share your goal with someone who roots for you• Track progress visually• Celebrate tiny wins, you can do this by tracking what you are doing, whether with an app or journal etc• Adjust the goal when life changes, life is what happens on the way to your plans, so learn to pivot! you only fail when you quit, so don't...Accountability should feel like partnership, not pressure.As you step into the new year, remember: you don't need a new version of yourself — just a clearer, kinder plan for the version you already are. If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's setting goals too. And if you're working on your own SMART goals, I'd love to hear them. See you next time!TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

The holidays are often portrayed as joyful and picture-perfect… but for many people, this time of year can feel incredibly lonely. One of those symptoms is known as S.A.D. Seasonal Affective Disorder, which usually portrays feeling low, irritable, and usually caused by lack of sunlight amongst other things. And if that's you, I want you to hear this clearly:Your feelings are valid. You're not broken. You're not failing. You're human.Loneliness doesn't always mean being physically alone.Sometimes it's being surrounded by people and still feeling unseen.Sometimes it's missing someone who isn't here anymore.Sometimes it's wishing the holidays felt different than they do.But there are ways to soften that loneliness and reconnect — with others and with yourself.Tip 1: Reach Out Before You Need To A simple text, call, or message can open a door you didn't know was waiting for you. That is tough for me with what I do for a living, I'm supposed to HAVE the answers, what about you? Tip 2: Shift From Receiving to GivingActs of kindness — volunteering, donating, helping a neighbor — create connection and purpose. I LOVE "paying it forward" with coffee!! aka marinated bean water! what's yours? drop it in the comments!  Tip 3: Create Your Own TraditionsIf old traditions bring sadness, build new ones that reflect who you are today. I have one that I have tried to do Yearly with my nephews where we find a new comicbook store and explore that town for the dayTip 4: Use Technology as a BridgeVirtual dinners, group chats, or online communities can provide real emotional support.Tip 5: Acknowledge Your Feelings Without JudgmentLoneliness is not a flaw. It's a signal — a reminder that you deserve connection.I want YOU to know:“You're not alone in feeling alone. Many people are walking through the same quiet spaces.”SECTION 3: 5 More Healthy Holiday Tips reminders Tip 6: Use the “One Plate” Approach. Commit to one intentional plate instead of grazing all day.Tip 7: Bring a Dish You Feel Good About. Guarantee there's at least one balanced option you enjoy.Tip 8: Slow Down Your PacePut your fork down between bites. Let your body catch up with your brain.Tip 9: Alternate Alcohol With WaterKeeps you hydrated and helps you stay mindful.Tip 10: Protect Your SleepGood sleep reduces cravings and supports emotional and hormone balance.As we head into the holidays, remember this:Taking care of yourself is not selfish — it's essential.Whether that means making mindful choices at the dinner table or reaching out when you're feeling alone, you deserve to feel good in your body and supported in your spirit.The holidays can be complicated, but you're stronger, more resilient, and more worthy than you know.From all of us here at The Live to Progress Podcast, we're wishing you peace, connection, and moments of joy — big or small — wherever you find them. Stay kind to yourself. Stay connected.And I'll see you in the next episode! TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Welcome to another "Monday Morning Brew" Series! Today we're diving into a topic that affects all of us this time of year: healthy eating during the holidays. The season is full of joy, connection, and... let's be honest, lots of food. But how do we enjoy it all without feeling weighed down? Let's explore 5 practical tips.Tip 1: Don't Skip Meals Before the Big Feast. Skipping meals often backfires, leading to overeating later. Instead, eat a balanced breakfast or snack with protein and fiber to stabilize your appetite. For Example: Greek yogurt with berries or a handful of almonds.Tip 2: Prioritize the “Stars ” of the Table. Fill half your plate with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This ensures you enjoy holiday favorites without crowding out nutrient-rich foods. Think roasted veggies, turkey, or quinoa salad before diving into desserts.Tip 3: Practice Mindful IndulgenceDon't forbid holiday treats—savor them slowly. Mindful eating helps you enjoy food more and prevents overconsumption. So definitely enjoy the pies, but make it a conscious choice, not a mindless habit.Tip 4: Hydrate Before You CelebrateThirst is often mistaken for hunger. Drink water throughout the day and have a glass before meals. This reduces unnecessary snacking and balances alcohol intake.Tip 5: Balance Indulgence with Movement. Pair festive eating with light activity: a family walk, dancing, or holiday shopping laps. Staying active helps digestion and keeps energy levels steady.Overall, remember, the holidays are about joy and connection. Healthy choices help you feel goodenough to enjoy every moment. Sending you all big love from mi familia to yours!TEAM LTP:Voice-over credits

Do not let yourself fail!!

Bryan Parady, former “hopeless skinny guy” that could not put on muscle regardless what he did, shares his journey of how he learned the importance of really balancing out what he did with not just believing blindly everything he was told and how he learned nutrition is a huge part of that overall progress.

This guy really has come a long way from 118lbs (basically a wet noodle) to 165lbs!

Today we talk to Leah Alvarez Stroud who I met through a previous mutual sponsor a few years back and we’ve kept in touch for the past few years so I knew I had to have her on the show to share her story! From a list of broken bones since she was 16yrs and then after retiring from Pro-Skiing she knew she wanted to do more which led her to starting her own business and we talk about the struggles of that as well, we talk about it all! I hope you enjoy listening to her great story! You can follow her on IG: @leeeeeyuh And her company is: @KilosFitnessVoice-over credits: @joncartervoice

Today we talk about what got Hannah aka “Handstand Hannah” into the fitness realm, how she literally somersaulted out of her crib which I say is what led to her gymnastic days at a young age, also shares her daily struggles and how she has dealt with them.

Thank you so much Hannah for sharing your journey with us!You can follow her on IG: @hndeutsVoice-over credits: @joncartervoice

Today we talk about what brought Tony to PartnerMD, how he struggled with making the right choices and how having a Coach that listens has been extremely helpful with his progress by keeping him accountable.

Hope you enjoy listening to his great testimonial!
