“People think once you hit retirement age you're in decline, but we really have the most amazing years ahead of us.” –Nadja PiatkaYou're not too old to reinvent yourself. Whether it's getting stronger, launching a new business, or eating healthy, you can start anytime. I'm really excited to talk with Nadja Piatka, a health influencer in her 70s, who is living proof.Nadja lost everything and hit rock bottom when her husband left. She started a business making muffins locally and, within a year, had products in McDonalds, Tim Hortons, Subway, and more. When she retired, she found herself seeking something else. Her pilates teacher suggested that she share how to stay fit and healthy on social media. She went from no Instagram account to viral posts and hundreds of thousands of followers at Nadja Eat Move Glow. We talk about: Building consistency with exercise and with foodShowing up with the joy of what you do to attract peopleThe importance of identifying your target market and choosing what products or services to share with your audience80-20 living Getting leukemia and choosing how we want to live in later life as motivatorsLeaving or letting go of what's not working for you to make room for what is really meant for youABOUT NADJAAs an unemployable single mother of two, plagued by creditors and no income, Nadja Piatka began baking muffins and brownies at home and testing them on her two teenage children. She was soon selling her baked goods to local coffee shops. With a one hundred dollar investment she grew her business from her kitchen to becoming an international supplier to the food industry and a Best Selling Author. She's now a health influencer showing that reinvention has no expiry date.LINKShttps://www.nadjaeatmoveglow.com/https://www.instagram.com/nadja__eat_move_glowhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nadjapiatka/Pause Magazine, issue 5DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:BRING THE JOY. If you are creating social or other content feeling like you have to do it, your audience can tell.Try to bring more joy, liveliness, and your genuine excitement or passion to what you create. Think more about what you love and less about how you are supposed to dot it.MORE PROTEIN. We need more protein as we age for day to day and long-term health. Start adding protein to breakfast and weave some into meals and snacks all day. Ideally, you get most of your protein from healthy whole foods, but you can also add protein powder to smoothies as a way of adding in more. Think about swapping high sugar snacks for high protein snacks for double benefit.PRACTICE 80-20 EATING. Try nourishing your body with high-protein, high-fiber, and low-sugar foods 80% of the time. The rest of the time you enjoy your favorite treats — without guilt. Commit to this shift for two weeks and see how you feel.

“When your business model is really optimized, the money's good. You have the kind of lifestyle you want. You have the kind of income you want. You're working towards your legacy and it meets your why.”–Carolyn HerfurthIs a fuzzy business model slowing you down? Carolyn Herfurth is a strategist and business model geek, and we're diving into something a lot of us don't have clear when we start our business or experience growth. In the simplest language, the business model is all the offers, products and services that you make in order to make money. But you can have low, medium, or high touch offers. It's not one size fits all—but finding the right fit for you at every stage of your business makes such a difference.We talk about: Variety in filling your funnelHaving the confidence to charge the right rates and changing rates to allow for the support you need to fill a programGetting clear on what we are offering and why and what the price isDecluttering your business modelWhy a thought partner is so importantQuarterly check ins on the five pillars of your business.

Even if people love it, if it doesn't work for you and the rest of your business, you can move it out.DO A QUARTERLY CHECK IN. Check in on each of the five pillars: What is your relationship with your business now? Is your business model clear? How are you regarded as a thought leader? How easy and effective is your marketing? How are sales (is it easy to close)? Rate each of these on a scale of 1–10. Then explain in a sentence why you rated yourself that way. What does it show you about what needs to change.

“I know in advance what my body and soul need in order for me to call it a summer that feels just how I want summer to feel.” – Mia MoranWe think summer will take care of itself. It's a go with the flow time, a less structured time, a different time — and it really needs a plan. Your summer plan needs to honor the vibe of the season and keep you connected to the things you want in this season. I'm going to talk to you about Anchoring, but we're not going to jump into it right away. So often when I see people feeling overwhelmed or struggling with planning, it's because they're skipping the first steps in the process: Centering, Visioning, Deciding. Anchoring is when we make space for the things that really matter. It's the part when we actually put things on our calendar. One way to anchor for summer is to start with some key dates. Some things I'm starting with:Vacation time (don't forget to add things you need to do to prepare or re-enter)Business events or launchesStart and end of summer dates (these might be different for different people in your family)Key family events — graduations, celebrations, appointmentsFlexible space for things you want to happenAnd then there is the restorative summery part … the reading more, the gardening, the moving your body differently, the relaxing. We plan for that too. Join me to plan a summer that turns out just how you want it to feel: https://plansimple.com/summerLINKSA Smarter Way to Plan Your Summerhttps://plansimple.com/summerDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action.

You need to know that before you put anything on the calendar.HONOR YOUR BUSINESS. What commitments have you already made for your business this summer? What have you been doing that you don't want to lose momentum on and have to restart this fall? Make a list. You'll want to make sure these things are part of your summer plan.ANCHOR KEY POINTS. Pull out your calendar and make sure key dates are on there: start and end of summer (this might be determined by when kids are home or when you are at a summer place for example), vacations, business events or standing appointments, family celebrations or other events. You'll add other things — like the morning swim you want to take daily or the weekly family dinner — but having some of the big rocks as anchors gets you started. One more doable thing you can do!

Dale Sellers and Joseph Bennett talk with former lead pastor Michael Hidalgo about why pastoral rest is a crisis-level need, how real sabbaticals differ from a leave of absence, and how his ministry Menuah helps small churches create practical, sustainable sabbatical plans—including pulpit supply, congregational care, and re-entry.  Michael has over 25 years experience in local church ministry as a teaching pastor and lead pastor. He is a speaker, author, and coaches pastors. His passion has always been to support spiritual and emotional health for faith leaders. When he's not working he loves skiing, cycling, and spending time in the mountains of Colorado. Michael, his wife and children live in Denver, Colorado.Show Notes: https://95network.org/95podcast-337-summary-pastoral-sabbaticals-made-doable-rest-renewal-and-a-plan-for-small-church-pastors-with-michael-hidalgo/Support the show

“Once I put the plan in place, I have to let go of it, meaning that there needs to be space in my life to listen to my intuition.” –Dr. Mary SandersYou are highly intuitive. Are you listening and trusting the golden nuggets you are receiving? I'm talking with Dr. Mary Sanders, a chiropractor, a medical intuitive, and a positive psychologist about intuition, energy, and grounding.Mary's story, like most, isn't linear. She takes us around the globe and through many years of learning and opening up to her gifts. We agree that planning allows you to be more in the present — even when things don't turn out as you planned. The plan allows you to keep moving and the movement opens up new channels.We talk about: Mary developing different ways of perception due to her hearing deficitHow travel can be disorienting (and what else can disorient us)What can ground you anywhere in the worldLong spiral routes to what you are meant to doCentering our energetic body in the present, not the past or futureHow planning and intuition can work together. ABOUT MARYDr. Mary Sanders is a Doctor of Chiropractic with an emphasis in Functional Nutrition and Positive Psychology. She also obtained a Master's Degree in Intuition Medicine from the Academy of Intuition Medicine. Her life's purpose is to guide you in aligning with your true self, embracing your inner wholeness, and transforming your physical, emotional, and energetic well-being. Her unique expertise lies in an integrative healing approach that combines the intuitive power of energy medicine with the proven tools of positive psychology.

Change comes from action. Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from. Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation. CHECK YOUR RESOURCES. At one point Mary refers to chocolate and red wine as resources — right before burnout. Sometimes we do rely on resources that aren't really serving or helping us. What are you using for “resources” right now? Are they helping?WHAT GIFT HAVE YOU IGNORED? What is something you are good at or meant to do that you haven't studied or tried because it wasn't practical? How could you explore this gift — either a giant leap or a tiny step? Journal things you could do.PRACTICE PLANNING AND PIVOTING. Do you avoid planning because too much seems up in the air? Or create a plan and hold onto it rigidly? What if you made a plan and acted on it, with room to adjust and change? Check in before your next step. Is your intuition on board? Go for it.

“If it ain't joyful, I ain't doing that shit.” –M. Shannon HernandezI'm talking to M. Shannon Hernandez, author of Practical Joy: Simple Tools to Cultivate More Joy Every Day and founder of Joyful Business Revolution. She opens with her mantra: If it ain't joyful, I ain't doing that shit,” and we dive in from there.Shannon explains the difference between joy and happiness this way: Joy is an inside job, while happiness comes from things on the outside. Joy is living in alignment with our core values. And you can plan for joy.Shannon shows us how to weave joy into our marketing — and the shift that happens when you stop thinking about marketing and start thinking about messaging.We talk about:Planning your day based around your 3-4 top values and how your future self drives joyCultivating joy every day, no matter what's going on — with examples — and working through the non-joyful parts to get to joyThe difference between marketing and messaging, and bringing joy to the messaging of your businessFinding your messaging pillarsWhy making time to connect with people is essentialUsing AI — how to show up as you, how to use AI to streamline not make things busierABOUT SHANNONWhen consultants, strategists, speakers, and trainers know their work has outgrown their message, and they need messaging that reflects its depth and converts without compromise, they call M.

Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:PLAN FROM YOUR VALUES. Identify your top 3–4 values. Each morning for a week, identify what you will do each day to live each value. Notice how it changes the way you approach your day. What things easily fit in? What things feel challenging? What things fit if you shift the way you think?IDENTIFY YOUR MESSAGING PILLARS. What are the three things you talk about in your messaging? Start by looking at what you are already talking about. Think about what your future self wants to be doing — what are three things important to that work? What things already bring joy or spark real connection with people? Work with these pillars or anchors to streamline your messaging on your website, in emails, in podcasts or blogs, in talks and workshops.REACH OUT TO OTHERS. Connecting with others is essential to your business success. Do it as a joyful thing. Do it as a real human looking to connect with someone else. If you are bringing networking energy or a checklist of numbers energy to it, try leading with a different gesture, with connection, with real curiosity or interest.

It's spring cleaning, Thrivesters and today's episode  started as a closet clean-out conversation.But boy did we change course – and quickly.What started out as  “three tips to help streamline your closet cleanout” quickly became a powerful conversation about identity.Today we welcome back wardrobe stylist Elisa Ellis, and we get into the real reason your closet feels overwhelming – AND what to actually do about it.We keep it practical. Tactical. Doable.We also go where this always goes as we talk about who you were, who you thought you'd be and who you actually are now.Because your closet is a timeline, Thrivesters.And if you're not careful, you're walking into a version of yourself every day that no longer fits.A few highlights:Why closet clutter is rarely about “too many clothes”The subtle identity gap that keeps you holding on to things you don't wearThe difference between liking something… and actually wearing itWhy “I spent money on it” is one of the biggest trapsWe'll link everything to Elisa in the show notes and if you're ready for some style support, she's your person.And if this episode hit you?Text a friend.Send it to her.Or better yet… invite her over and clean out one drawer together.Now go out there and thrive like you mean it.

“That's why the natal chart is so cool and human design and gene keys are these beautiful tools that give us permission to be ourselves.” –Danielle HendricksonI'm a Gemini. For a long time, that's all I knew about astrology. But it fascinated me. Turns out, all I knew was my Sun sigh, and I'm really interested in Moons, because the moon maps to the feminine cycle.I'm excited to share this conversation with Venusian astrologer Danielle Hendrickson, who writes the Astrology Report for Pause magazine every month.I asked Danielle for Astrology 101, and she used this analogy. You're in a car, and you are the driver. The car is being fueled by your sun. Your sun is the gas in the tank, and it's making you move towards your ascending sign, which is who you are here to become. To find out who else is in the car, and why they matter, take a listen.We talk about:The shift in our creative center when we reach menopauseVenus returns happening every eight years and how you can see your feminine rising over timeUnderstanding your signs to understand your path and be more yourselfHow your relationship with the moon may change in perimenopause, menopause, and beyondMapping the moon, your cycle, and your Venus weekThe 19-month Venus cycleABOUT DANIELLE Danielle Hendrickson is a women's spiritual guide, Venusian astrologer and priestess devoted to helping women remember and embody their Sacred Feminine blueprint.

Use our moon tracker, the moon board Danielle mentioned, or any other way to track where the moon is in its cycle, where you are in yours (if you are cycling) and what you notice about yourself in different parts of the cycle.GET A BASIC CHART. I highly recommend you get a reading from a real astrologer, especially if you are interested in the sacred feminine. If you're ready, your doable change is to book an appointment. Not ready, try asking AI about your chart to get a starting point. What resonates?

When a student pushes a piece of work off their desk, puts their head down, pulls out their phone, or starts cracking jokes, it can feel personal. Like, really personal. Especially when you've poured your heart into that lesson.But here's the thing: none of that behaviour is random. And it's definitely not about you.In this episode, I'm giving you a front seat to something I wish I'd known back in my second year of teaching, when I planned what I thought was an epic observation lesson, complete with immersion stations, bells, whistles, the lot… and watched it completely fall apart in real time (yes, a kid literally jumped out the window).This episode kicks off a three-part series on differentiation, and before you click away because that word makes you want to lie down on the floor,  stick with me. Because this is not the differentiation that has you creating 180 individual lesson plans. This is the real, doable kind.But first, we need to talk about what's actually going on in your students' brains when they see a piece of work and decide nope. Because once you understand the link between the learning you're designing and the behaviour you're seeing, everything starts to shift.In this episode, you'll learn:Why "work refusal" behaviours (avoidance, disruption, withdrawal, escalation) are almost always a stress response — not defianceWhat actually happened in my chaotic observation lesson and why it was always going to go that wayThe four ways students' stress responses show up when they feel set up to failWhy you cannot separate classroom management from teaching and learning, and why that's actually good newsWhy differentiation has such bad PR (and why that's making things harder for all of us)What's coming up in parts 2 and 3 of this series (spoiler: it's practical, it's doable, and it's going to save you time)Have a question, comment, or just want to say hello?

Ever wonder why your kids' “school projects” either fizzle out or turn into frantic, last-minute glue-sticking marathons? Or maybe you secretly dread “interest-led learning” because you picture glitter explosions and science fair-level chaos? I get it. But what if project-based learning—done right—could actually bring joyful curiosity, deeper learning, and family connection…without sending you to the craft store (or losing your mind)?In this episode, I sit down with my real-life friend and local homeschool teacher, Karla Schlatter. Karla's a mama of four boys, a champion of lifelong learning, and a pro at weaving meaningful projects into home education. Together, we peel back the curtain on what project-based learning really looks like in our actual, messy homeschool lives.We share what sparked our love for this hands-on approach, how it's played out with both our self-motivated and less-eager kids, and some hilarious mishaps along the way (never underestimate a determined kid with a cardboard stash or the allure of rabbit poop “science experiments”).We unpack:Why “interest-led” projects are more than just crafts or busywork—and how they differ from those assembly-line curriculum assignmentsHow Karla designed a high school project course that has our teens actually caring about deadlines, peer feedback, and creativity (hello, executive function skills!)The magic (and mild panic) of letting go of control as a homeschool mom—and why that's where the real learning happensPitfalls we've both hit, including perfectionism, decision-paralysis, and that ever-present urge to “just do it my way”How to scaffold and support reluctant or overwhelmed kids so they can actually succeed (and learn from mistakes)What you'll learn:The two types of project-based learning—and which one sparks more meaningful growthHow to create accountability, positive peer pressure, and genuine motivation (even if your kid is a world-class procrastinator)Strategies for building projects around your child's true interests—even if those interests seem a bit out-there (rabbit fertilizer, anyone?)Why it's worth teaching kids to “break big goals into small steps”—and how project learning does just thatWays to start small and make project-based learning a natural part of your family culture, whether you have a group or you're flying soloResources Mentioned:Land That I Love from Homeschool Better TogetherNavigating High School Course4-H and county fairs for kid-friendly project experiencesColleen

Today I'm sitting down with Melissa Griffiths of Bless This Mess a mom of five and food blogger who has been making dinnertime doable since 2009. Melissa shares how her blog grew from sharing everyday family recipes into a thriving business, all while embracing simplicity, flexibility, and real life in the kitchen. We talk about practical ways to take the stress out of meal planning, including creating simple meal rhythms, getting out of a dinner rut, and letting go of perfection at the table. Melissa also opens up about burnout, learning to ask for help, and redistributing the mental load at home so dinner doesn't fall on one person alone. The conversation weaves into life beyond food as Melissa reflects on her family's move from Utah to Vermont, embracing seasonal living, and building community through open doors and shared meals. This episode is a warm reminder that you're doing enough, simple food is more than enough, and small mindset shifts can make everyday life feel lighter and more intentional. Mentioned in This Episode:

Okay, let's be honest. You missed a day and your brain immediately went to "welp, guess I blew it" and now you're starting over for the 47th time this year. Yeah, we're stopping that today. This is bonus episode #1 supporting the Doable 26 - a 26-day habit experiment where you test one simple habit per day to find the 1-3 that actually fit YOUR life (not your trainer's, not your coworker's who loves 5 AM workouts, YOURS). We're about a week in, but before you panic, you're not late, you're not behind, and you definitely didn't already mess this up. In this episode, we're covering: Why hitting the reset button is actually what's keeping you stuck The thought reversal that'll change everything about how you show up What this whole #doable26 thing actually is (spoiler: it's NOT another challenge) How to stop spiraling every time you miss a day The Bruce Lee quote that explains this entire experiment Real talk: You don't need more discipline. You need way less drama around this whole thing.

Welcome back to the Monday Morning Brew series! Today we're talking about something that can feel complicated, emotional, and honestly… overwhelming for a lot of people: nutrition.But don't worry, this isn't a diet episode.This isn't a “cut everything out” episode.This is a "kindness" episode.Because February is all about intentional movement, consistency, and showing up for yourself. And part of showing up is fueling your body in a way that supports your energy, your mood, and your confidence without stress, guilt, or perfection.So today, we're breaking down simple, realistic nutrition habits that you can start this month… and actually keep. Let's get into it.SEGMENT 1: WHY NUTRITION FEELS HARDLet's be honest, nutrition is one of the most confusing parts of health.There's so much noise out there:“Eat this, not that.”“Cut carbs.”“Only eat clean.”“Try this new trend.”It's exhausting.And for a lot of people, food is emotional.It's comfort. It's culture. It's connection. It's coping.So when someone says “just eat better,” it's not helpful.What is helpful is focusing on small, doable habits that support your body without taking over your life. That's what we're doing today.SEGMENT 2: HABIT #1 HYDRATION MADE EASYLet's start with the simplest habit: hydration.Most people walk around dehydrated and don't even realize it and dehydration affects:Energy, Mood, Digestion, Cravings, Headaches, Motivation.So here's your February hydration habit:Drink one extra bottle or glass of water each day.... that's it! Not a gallon.Not a strict schedule.Just one extra.If you want to make it even easier:Keep a bottle near youAdd lemon or fruitDrink a glass before your morning coffeePair water with a daily habit (like brushing your teeth)Small hydration wins add up fast.SEGMENT 3: HABIT #2 ADD, DON'T RESTRICTHere's a mindset shift that changes everything: Instead of focusing on what to cut out… focus on what to add in.Restriction creates stress. Addition creates balance.Here are simple “add‑ins” for February:Add a serving of fruit to breakfastAdd a vegetable to one meal a dayAdd a source of protein to your snacksAdd a handful of nuts or seedsAdd a fiber‑rich food like berries, oats, or beansWhen you add nourishing foods, your body naturally feels better and you don't feel deprived. This approach is gentle, sustainable, and perfect for listeners who struggle with all‑or‑nothing thinking.SEGMENT 4: HABIT #3 PROTEIN FOR ENERGY + SATIETYLet's talk about protein, not in a bodybuilder way, but in a "support your energy" way.Protein helps keep you full, Stabilize blood sugar, Support muscle recovery, Improve mood and focus.Here are easy February protein wins:Greek yogurt, Eggs, Chicken or turkey, Beans or lentils, Cottage cheese, Tofu, Protein shakes, Tuna packets, Nuts or nut butter.Your habit for this week: Add one source of protein to at least one meal or snack each day and keep it under 30 grams per MEAL. That's it... Simple, Supportive, Doable.SEGMENT 5: HABIT #4 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, NOT THE INTERNETThis one is big. Your body is always communicating with you, but most of us are too busy, stressed, or distracted to listen.This month, try this: Pause before you eat and ask: “What does my body need right now?”Not “What should I eat?”Not “What's the healthiest option?”Just… “What do I need?”Maybe you need something warm.Maybe you need something hydrating.Maybe you need something grounding.Maybe you need something with protein.Maybe you need something comforting, and that's okay too.Listening builds trust.And trust builds healthier habits.SEGMENT 6: HABIT #5 THE 80% FULL CHECK-IN Here's a gentle habit that helps with overeating without restriction: Pause halfway through your meal and check in with your fullness.Ask yourself:Am I still hungry?Am I satisfied?Am I eating out of habit?Am I eating because it tastes good?Am I eating because I'm distracted?You don't have to stop eating.You don't have to change anything.Just check in.Awareness IS the habit.SEGMENT 7: WEEKLY CHALLENGE “Fuel With Intention” Alright, here's your February nutrition challenge for the week.THE CHALLENGE: “Fuel With Intention”For the next 7 days, choose one of these habits:Drink one extra glass or bottle of waterAdd one fruit or vegetable to your dayAdd one source of protein to a meal or snackDo one 80% fullness check‑inPause before eating and ask, “What do I need?”Just one.Not all five.Not perfection.Choose the one that feels the most supportive right now.Nutrition doesn't have to be overwhelming. It doesn't have to be restrictive. It doesn't have to be stressful.It can be simple. It can be gentle. It can be supportive. This February, focus on fueling your body with kindness, one small habit at a time.If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's working on their health this month. And stay tuned, we've got a really neat charity event coming up in March that Velotric, an e-bike company will be sponsoring and you have a chance to win an E-bike! As always, be a kind human, let's help each-other whenever possible, like Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers, make sure when someone looks for the Helpers, they see YOU, be the change you want to see in the world and thank you thank you for sharing this time to listen to us and we will see you again soon, have a great rest of your day! See you in the next episode!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

If you're over 40 and thinking, "Why does nothing work the way it used to?" this Fit Girl Magic episode is going to hit. Today I'm joined by Emily Kaplan, co-founder of MetFix and the Broken Science Initiative, and we're pulling back the curtain on what's actually going on with midlife health, metabolism, hormones, and why the old advice is failing so many women. We talk about why trainers often know more about your real health than doctors, how insulin quietly drives weight gain and fatigue, and why eating less and moving more can backfire hard in midlife. This is one of those conversations that makes everything finally click. In This Episode, We Cover: • Why workouts and "clean eating" stop working after 40 • The real reason midlife weight gain isn't about calories • How insulin affects fat storage, energy, and cravings • Why doctors only get 12 minutes and trainers hear the real story • The problem with "just move more" health advice • How hormones, stress, and sleep change the rules after 40 • Why food quality matters more than tracking • What metabolic health actually means (without the jargon) • Why community and coaching matter more than perfection You'll Walk Away Knowing: ✔️ Your body isn't broken✔️ You're not failing at health✔️ You don't need another extreme plan✔️ You do need better information If this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode made you say "ohhh… that explains a lot," make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who's convinced she's the problem (she's not). And if you're wondering what season your body is actually in right now, fat loss, restore, build, or maintain, check the link in the show notes to go deeper.

Thinking about a Disney Cruise but not sure if it's really worth it? In this episode of the Dream Wish Plan Podcast, I'm breaking down what actually makes Disney Cruise Line different — and why so many families come home saying it was the easiest vacation they've ever taken. Disney cruises are designed to keep everyone happy. Kids are entertained, adults get real downtime, and parents aren't stuck managing every detail. From rotational dining and Broadway-style shows to character interactions and included room service, so much is built into the experience that planning feels refreshingly simple. In this episode, we talk about: What makes Disney Cruise Line different from other cruise lines Why Disney cruises work so well for families of all ages Rotational dining and why it's a game-changer What's included (room service, drinks, entertainment, and more) Disney's private islands: Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point The truth about Disney Cruise pricing — and why it's often more doable than people think Shorter 3- and 4-night Disney cruises for first-time cruisers If you've been looking for a vacation that feels magical and relaxing, a Disney cruise might be exactly what you need.

Ever notice how the more rules you add… the faster everything falls apart? Yeah. Same. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm continuing the Doable 26 conversation and calling out the real reason most women over 40 feel "stuck" with their health. Psst.... it's not lack of discipline. It's doing too damn much. This isn't a how-to episode. It's a permission slip. We're talking about why: Checking all the boxes doesn't equal results "All or nothing" thinking keeps you spinning Consistency has nothing to do with intensity And why curiosity beats control every single time I also share: What my own do-or-die fitness era looked like (hello burnout) The trip that completely changed how I approach health Why habits don't fail, but overload does How to stop trying to go back to what worked when you were in your 20s and 30s And how to choose 1–3 non-negotiables that actually fit your real life The Doable 26 isn't a challenge to win.

Healthy eating shouldn't feel like a second full-time job — but if you've ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or like you're failing at “doing it right,” this episode is for you.In today's conversation, I'm sitting down with nutritionist, chef, and corporate wellness strategist Chef Leigh to break down what your version of healthy can actually look like in real life — not the Instagram-perfect kind. We talk through three simple but powerful shifts that make nourishing yourself feel doable even on your busiest days: the Power Plate Pause, why snack prep often matters more than meal prep, and how to use mood–food mapping to support your energy, focus, and emotions.This episode isn't about restriction, perfection, or copying someone else's routine. It's about learning how to pause, fuel instead of just function, and make food work for your life — not against it.If you've been craving a calmer, more grounded approach to eating that actually fits your schedule, your stress levels, and your season of life… press play.

This is Part 2 of Doable 26, where we go deeper into why doing less actually works. If you want the backstory, Part 1 pairs perfectly with this episode. In this one, we're getting real about why "good habits" don't stick. It's not because you're lazy or inconsistent. It's because you're trying to do too much. We're talking about: Why checking all the boxes keeps you stuck How intensity pretends to be consistency What actually creates follow-through in midlife Why doing less is often the smartest move Doable 26 isn't a plan or a challenge. It's an experiment. You try what fits. You skip what doesn't. You stop turning habits into full-time jobs. Pick one boring thing. Let it be enough. Build something you can actually live with.

Hi, do you keep telling yourself, “I know what to do, I just need to actually do it?” Welcome. In this episode, Emily and Tiffany unpack a hard (and oddly relieving) truth: when something isn't happening, it's usually a design problem, not a motivation problem. More effort, more discipline, or more information won't fix a plan that doesn't fit real life.From nail trims and walks to client plans, business routines, and professional growth, Emily and Tiffany talk about why you shouldn't be trying harder; instead, try different. The goal isn't doing less because you care less. It's designing systems that are actually doable, for real humans, real pets, and real lives.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ If you aren't doing it, that's data – It's not a character flaw. Inconsistent follow-through usually means the plan doesn't fit your reality. Shame won't fix that, but redesigning might.2️⃣ Fit your plans to life, not life to the plan – When we stop designing for an ideal world and start designing for the one we're actually living in, progress gets a lot more accessible.3️⃣ Doing less doesn't mean you care less – Just because something is simple, smooth, and easy, doesn't mean you care less, or aren't doing enough.

January often brings a wave of pressure around food — detoxes, restriction, and the idea that we need to “start over” after the holidays. But for busy families, especially in the middle of winter, that approach can feel exhausting, unrealistic, and disconnected from real life.In this episode, Andryanna is joined by Charmaine Broughton — cooking instructor, cookbook author of Delicious & Doable, and host of In Char's Kitchen — for a refreshing conversation about feeding your family well in January without diets, detoxes, or perfection.Together, they explore how to approach food in a way that feels nourishing, practical, and supportive during the winter months, especially for parents carrying the mental load of feeding everyone.They discuss:Why January food culture often feels disconnected from real family life;How to redefine “eating well” without restriction or all-or-nothing thinking; Practical ways to feed a family using pantry staples;How to reduce pressure and decision fatigue around meals;Lessons from raising kids and feeding a family through different life stages;Simple, gentle shifts parents can make without overhauling everything.This conversation offers reassurance, clarity, and practical support for anyone who wants to nourish their family in January — without burnout, shame, or unrealistic expectations.CONNECT WITH CHARMAINE:Get Char's recipes from the episode HERE!Char's cookbook: Delicious & Doable - Recipes for Real & Everyday LifeWebsiteOn InstagramCONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:⁠Download your FREE January Gentle Intentions Check-In HERE ⁠: An invitation to pause, listen, and support yourself where you are with this worksheet for rest, alignment & a softer start to 2026.Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@andryanna.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Andryanna.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for blogs, giveaways, workshops, tools, resources and more.

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

“Take what resonates, add your own magic and swipe left on the rest.” –Heather Dressel Winter calls us inward, but the world can be noisy. What if you could get quiet enough to hear your inner guides? I'm so excited to have Heather Dressel — I call her the intuition whisperer — back on the show.We tend to love spring and summer, the energy of creation and productivity. Winter can look so still and lifeless, but so much is percolating under the snow — and within. Tending to our winter energy can lead to greater growth.That said, there is a lot to distract us from that this time of year. Add to that the programming deeply ingrained in most of us to keep pushing and striving all the time. Learning to get quiet and go inward can be challenging — even if it is appealing to you. We talk about: How going inward can feel amazing for introverts and the need to balance that with emergingBeing gentle with yourself as you learn to get quiet — it's okay if it's uncomfortableForgetting about all or nothing and remembering our ability to begin again and againGetting curious to shift practices that aren't working in a particular seasonTuning into your inner guiding voice, not your inner mean girl squad and learning to trustTools — like music and oracle decks — to help you tap inABOUT HEATHERHeather Dressel is the founder of Divinely Sensitive and the Hear Her podcast.

Join SADA's CTO, Miles Ward, and Associate CTO of AI & ML, Simon Margolis, for this special and final episode of the Cloud and Clear podcast. They share their biggest, most impactful predictions for 2026 and beyond, focusing on the massive shift required for businesses to get value from AI. Miles and Simon discuss how the conversation around AI investment is changing. Boards will no longer tolerate putting AI in the R&D bucket. The focus is shifting from "what's possible" to "what's profitable," demanding financial returns on a quarterly basis. In this insightful discussion, you will learn: The model choice: Why optimizing your model selection matters, noting that a model like Gemini Pro 2.5 can have output tokens that are 25 times more expensive than Gemini Flash. Service as software: The need to think of your business as a new startup, building "machinery to let you run service as if it's software." Democratization: How "anybody that knows their natural language is able to go and build some type of truly agentic system." The ability to build a prototype with a prompt is replacing lengthy Product Requirement Documents (PRDs). The luxury trap: Why reducing friction will become a required, contractually obligated expectation. This includes developing "user interfaces for an audience of one" to accommodate different customer cohorts. If you are a technology leader, cloud engineer, or executive looking to set your strategy for the next wave of transformation, this episode is packed with valuable knowledge.
