Celebrating all of the hard work you've done along your fitness journey can be very liberating. One of the most common ways to check on your progress is to step onto a scale to see your current weight. However, there are many other ways that you can check your progress and celebrate your accomplishments which don't involve following numbers which can be very intimidating for some people. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Why it's important to recognize and celebrate your health and fitness progress when you hit your milestones. 2). How losing weight is usually the primary reason why most people exercise and why reading your weight on a scale has become the "standard" way of measuring progress. 3). The emotional and mental toll that constant weight measuring can take and why focusing on other "wins" can be more effective to recognize your weight loss accomplishments. 4). How noticing enhanced physical abilities and increase in strength can be helpful motivators in celebrating the work you are doing in your fitness journey. 5). Why monitoring your flexibility and agility are good indicators that your hard work is paying off. /// We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be on their own health and fitness journey. We all like to see and feel the progress that we make especially if you are trying to lose weight. But don't forget that being healthy and taking care of yourself doesn't always have to involve numbers and weight measuring. Feeling good and being proud of yourself that you are putting in the work to live a active and healthy lifestyle should always be of precedence over constant weight measuring.

Dan Carnat, CEO and co-founder of Fiera Cosmetics, breaks down the actual impact of pricing on conversion, acquisition, andmost importantly: reorder rates and LTV. We dig into why a $40 customer is fundamentally different from a $16 customer, how “cheap growth” distorted channel signals and buyer mix, and why Fiera reversed course by introducing a higher-priced, improved SKU while protecting existing demand.We also unpack a pragmatic attribution stack for operators who care about truth over dashboards: platform numbers as a directional input, MMM for hypothesis generation, and incrementality tests for validation, including how Meta campaigns created measurable halo on Amazon even when the product wasn't listed there. Dan details Fiera's “reality testing” process for new products (closing the loop between 5-star lovers and 1-star detractors), the operational cadence required to ship 20+ products in development without eroding trust, and supply-chain tradeoffs in a color-heavy category. If you're navigating margin pressure, price strategy, channel diversification (including performance-driven affiliates), or product-market fit at scale, this episode will give you concrete frameworks you can implement immediately.//CHAPTER TITLES:00:01:29 - What Went Wrong With Price Testing?00:08:12 - Making Mistakes Can Reveal Truth About Business00:10:02 - Unit Economics In Your Business00:11:20 - Introducing A New Product with High Price Point00:19:38 - Product Development Process 00:23:56 - Dan's Fitness Goals & Growth Hacks00:25:03 - Operations & Supply Chain For Fiera00:33:36 - Where Is The Value In A Cosmetics Business?00:35:58 - Rebranding00:39:02 - What Makes Dan Sleep At Night???00:41:52 - Highlight of Incrementally Testing00:44:08 - Complexity of Lead Attribution//SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL FOR 2X/WEEKLY UPLOADS!//ADMISSIONGet the best media buying training on the Internet + a free coaching call with Common Thread Collective's media buyers when you sign up for ADmission here: ⁠⁠https://www.youradmission.co/andrew-faris-podcast⁠//FOLLOW UP WITH ANDREW X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/andrewjfaris ⁠Email: podcast@ajfgrowth.comWork with Andrew: ⁠https://ajfgrowth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this episode, I'm sharing how I'm locking in my health and fitness goals as we head into the final stretch of the year — because this season doesn't have to be a total free-for-all (or a stress spiral!). I talk through what it looks like to live in sync with this season of life instead of trying to force something extreme or unsustainable — and how I'm approaching Q4 with a mindset of steadiness, not burnout. Here's what I cover: My go-to mindset shift for finishing the year strong (but not frantic) Why I'm following the plan, not my feelings What I'm focusing on daily: hydration, nutrition awareness, and consistent movement How I'm planning for social events and indulgences without spiraling Simple ways I'm tracking progress and adjusting as I go The role of uplifting content, supportive routines, and communities — plus a few recs! If you've ever felt like the end of the year is just “survival mode” — this episode is your reminder that you can still honor your body, take care of yourself, and feel really good going into a new year.

Send us a textIn this episode of The StrongHer Way, Alisha Carlson reveals why most women struggle to reach their health and fitness goals—and how the missing link is identity.

You'll learn why identity-based behavior change is the key to lasting health, and how every choice you make is a “vote” for the stronger, healthier version of yourself.Whether you're looking to build new habits, create sustainable routines, or finally transform your relationship with fitness, this conversation will inspire you to rethink your approach and step into a new identity.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why health goals fail without identity shiftsHow willpower is limited but identity is renewable energyThe role of small daily actions in creating transformationWhy flexible routines are more sustainable than rigid rulesHow to align your actions with your self-perceptionPractical steps to begin building a stronger identity todayTake the Next Step:Ready to create results that last without obsession?

Description: One partner travels. The other holds down the fort. Then the suitcase rolls back in and suddenly, everything feels off. In this episode, Chris and Annie dive into the real-life tension couples face during the often-overlooked “re-entry” phase after solo parenting. Whether you're the one coming home or the one who's been home, there's a disconnect that can sneak in fast and create frustration, resentment, and miscommunication if you don't handle it intentionally. Let's talk about the unspoken expectations, the invisible scorecards, and how to reconnect without blowing up. What You'll Learn: Why the re-entry moment is harder than most couples expect What both the solo parent and the returning partner really feel Common mistakes that spark conflict and how to avoid them 3 simple rituals that help couples reset fast A few hilarious “what not to say” lines (from real life, of course) Real Talk Moments: “I didn't miss him like I thought I would…” and why that's okay The post-trip tension of one partner needing rest while the other needs relief How the invisible scorecard (“who did more?”) shows up subtly That one time, the suitcase sat in the hallway for days Tools & Tips: The Re-Entry Chat — a 5-minute pulse check before jumping back into family life Decompression Zones — 15 minutes for each partner to reset after time apart Reconnect Rituals — walk together, share coffee, or catch up with zero kid interruptions Mini Segment: “What Not to Say…” — guaranteed conflict-starters and how to rephrase them  Listener Challenge: Try one re-entry ritual this week, even if it's just a short walk and a “what do you need right now?” question. Watch how fast it shifts the vibe.  Got a funny or disastrous re-entry story? DM us on Instagram @FitCoupleMethod,  we might feature it in a future episode!  Like what you heard? Share this with a couple who knows the solo-parent grind and leave us a review to keep the conversation going.

   Episode Summary We've been in the fitness world for over two decades, and we've heard just about every myth, fad, and gimmick out there.
