Most New Year's resolutions don't fail because we don't care. They fail because we try to change everything at once, without a plan that fits our real life, our real energy, and the season we are actually in.In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I'm walking you through how to create truly sustainable health goals. These are goals that don't burn you out by February, but carry you forward all year long. We talk about why 80 percent of resolutions fail, how to use SMART goals effectively, and why small, consistent habits will always outperform extreme motivation.We also explore the powerful connection between movement and mental health. Simple activities like walking, stretching, and strength training can naturally improve focus, reduce anxiety, ease depression, and support better brain function. I share real-life examples, practical ideas you can start today, and encouragement if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or behind.Be sure to listen all the way through to the end, where you will hear Kim's testimony, a powerful real-life story from someone inside our Visibly Fit Community who put these principles into action and experienced meaningful, lasting change.Let's make this a year of habits that stick, health that lasts, and momentum you can actually feel.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:10] Welcome & New Year Resolutions[02:30] Common Health Goals for 2026 (Weight, Strength, Stress)[07:00] Why 80% of Resolutions Fail by February[07:30] How to Set SMART Goals That Work[12:22] Identifying What You Actually Enjoy[13:27] Building Habits That Stick Over Time[16:10] Movement & Mental Health Connection[20:00] Tracking Progress Without Obsession[20:53] Why Community Is Essential for Health[23:33] Visibly Fit Community[24:45] Encouragement for a Healthier 2026[25:19] Kim's Testimony P.S.

It's early January. You're motivated. You're ready to eat better, work out consistently, and finally build healthy habits that stick. But if you're like most moms, you'll quit by February. Again. In this episode, I'm not giving you another goal-setting pep talk. I'm not telling you to break your goals into smaller steps or write them down or set behavior-based goals. You already know how to set goals. You've done it a hundred times. The problem isn't your goal-setting method. The problem is deeper. As a mom of 5, I've figured out why healthy habits fail for most moms. And it has nothing to do with motivation, willpower, or discipline. It's about how you see yourself. This episode is about the shift that changed everything for me. When you see yourself this way, your New Year's goals don't fail by February. -Rachel Next Steps:  The Fat Loss Formula for Moms Program Book a Free Discovery Call to find out about the program

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about AND. What if the secret to achieving your 2026 health goals isn't about choosing between this OR that, but embracing this AND that? Jenn challenges the pervasive binary thinking that dominates diet culture—the "eat this, not that" mentality that's been marketed to us for years. But can we really have high protein AND high fiber, enjoy nourishing meals AND joyful treats, pursue professional success AND personal wellness? Jenn explores how the power of "and" might transform not just our relationship with food, but our entire approach to health, relationships, and even conflicting ideas. Is it possible to hold two seemingly opposite truths at the same time, or are we destined to choose sides? What does Jenn really think about finding balance in a world that demands we pick a lane?

Why is sticking with exercise so hard, even when we know it's good for us? In this episode, Lisa Oldson MD explains why using exercise primarily for weight loss often backfires, and how reframing it as a tool for physical and mental health, stress relief, and emotional resilience makes consistency much easier. Learn how small, realistic workouts can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and help you build a sustainable exercise habit, without punishing your body. If you're tired of starting and stopping exercise, or feeling like you're failing because weight loss isn't happening, this episode offers a more compassionate, science-backed way forward.Thanks for listening!

“Send Coach John a message”Well, the final piece is here. “Be flexible.” Changing our habits is not easy, it's hard work. But having a little flexibility sure can help us make the changes that will work for us. Love this quote from the poet John Dryden - “We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” If we are a bit more flexible, we can help ourselves find out what works for us. It's part of the journey of finding out how to connect a bit better with our new habits. I must admit for myself that anytime I can be a bit more flexible in life, things go a bit better compared to if I'm not flexible. It's good advice for many things in life.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Watch on YouTube Episode Transcript Cheryl McColgan (00:00.184)Hi everyone, I’m Cheryl McColgan, founder of HealNourishCrew. And today I wanted to chat with you about a new program that I’m starting. And it’s basically this time of year, know, everyone’s interested in making a lot of resolutions and starting new habits, but they’re really hard to maintain over time. And that’s where I really wanted to be able to help you and hopefully create a program that will actually help you meet your goals and make the challenges. that you want to make this year. So what I’m starting is a 30 day healthy habits challenge. If you’re tired of starting over, this is going to be the program for you. Everybody starts the new year, you know, with a lot of motivation. And that is something that wanes over time quite often before even the end of January people have given up. But the challenge is to create something that you can maintain for the whole year, right? And that really comes down to discipline. because while motivation may wax and wane, discipline is something that’s very real and it’s also something, a skill that you can actually train so that you will be better and better at it the more that you practice. And that’s what this program is all about. So building that skill over 30 days, it’s going to be small habits each day so we can learn to train that skill and it’s free. It’s totally free. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time because habits and consistency and discipline are something that has been in my content for years now. And I’ve always wanted to do this and I can never just quite figure out a great way to deliver it and to make it make sense. But basically it’s built on three pillars. And this is how I wanted to challenge you with this because I think it’s habits that will sustain you for your whole life, obviously. And that is daily movement, mindset and consistency. And so each day that we practice these short habits, it’s only going to take five to 15 minutes total each day, get a short video. And that’s why I’m starting this now, because this is the introduction, tell you all about it. And then there will also be audio on my podcast feed. And so if you are in a big rush and you are driving to work, you can still listen to the habit, learn the research behind it, learn a little bit about why we’re trying it. And you’ll be able to listen to that. Cheryl McColgan (02:21.898)on your daily movement, you’re taking walks or you’re biking or whatever it is you’re doing. So there’ll be the podcast feed. And then you also get an email that lays out the challenge for the day, gives you the research links. There’s a handy tracker. I’m suggesting some apps for tracking. Also, if you’d like to do that and make it completely digital. the habit tracker spreadsheet still works perfectly great too. So you don’t, if you want to keep it simple and old school, that’s totally fine. So what this is not, this is not another weight loss challenge. This is not all or nothing like a lot of you have heard of or tried 75 hard. This is not about perfect. This is about just practicing consistency day after day. And if you miss a day, it doesn’t mean you have to start over. It doesn’t mean you failed. It just means that you start over again. And that is really what I have learned over the years. And what I when I practice my discipline, it’s not that I’m perfect all the time. It’s just that I always start over and I don’t wait till Monday. I don’t wait till the next day. Once I realize that in the moment, I notice that and start again, right? That moment. And that’s the kind of practice that we’re going to be doing throughout this whole challenge. So your daily checklist will look something like this. You’ll either watch or listen to the day’s video. You’ll do the habit of the day. You’ll do your daily movement of 10 minutes. If you’re somebody that already exercises a whole lot more, this is already part of your lifestyle. Obviously you’re going to continue to do that, but I will challenge you to maybe make some different kind of choices in your movement patterns. So if you’re a runner, let’s say, maybe challenging yourself to try some yoga or try some mobility work or strength training, if that’s not something that you do currently. So you’ll do the habit, you’ll do your movement and you’ll check these off in the tracker. Hopefully it’ll give you a great sense of accomplishment. It always does for me when I’m checking off things off my list. And then optional things. are to do the journal prompts. So you’ll get a journal prompt each day and to read the PubMed link, because I don’t want you to just think I’m picking habits here at random. Obviously, a lot of these are based on my own personal experience, habits that I think are very, very helpful and contribute to your health. But the reason that we do these habits is because they’re based on research. So that there’s at least some… Cheryl McColgan (04:36.43)something behind it that why it’s good for you and you can read the study or not, or just read the abstract and read the conclusion just to get an idea. But basically, you can dig into this as much as you want. So if there’s a particular habit that really speaks to you when you try it, that might be the day where you take those items that were optional and add them in. And the reason I’m trying to keep this to five to 15 minutes is because we want the small wins here. You don’t want to take on something that’s so challenging that you set yourself up for failure for the very beginning. Small habits build into big habits and you’ve got to take it one step day by day to get to these bigger habits that we have in mind for ourselves in the future. So it’s like you wouldn’t, you know, if you want to build a beautiful house, right, you’re not just going to get a bunch of two by fours and start nailing them together. You have no foundation. It won’t hold up over time. And so that’s the same. thing that we can do here. We’re going to build the foundation and then later after you’ve built these small habits or found things that really help you on a daily basis, then you can tackle the bigger things and bigger goals and goals that are five-year goals, 10-year goals, that kind of thing. But it really starts with these everyday little habits. So we’re going to set up so that these systems help you beat willpower. You’re just going to do it every day and they’re so easy you almost can’t skip them. That’s what I like about them. You just return quickly to it if you missed one. And there’s no shame, there’s no judgment. It’s just, we’re all human, right? We’re all gonna miss a day or we’re gonna have a day that’s so busy, but these are really small. So hopefully you’ll be able to do that. The movement is very flexible. It’s really whatever works for you. I like to say that find something that’s like a joyful movement that you can do once in a while. So for me, it’s like, you know, dancing around the kitchen while I’m cooking or something like that. That just makes me happy. Put on some good music. But then of course I have my strength training that I do and walking and all of that. but you’re going to pick one that works for you. So if it’s hard to squeeze these things into work, it’s only 10 minutes. You might walk a little bit over your lunch break. You could walk five minutes in the morning, five minutes at night. And of course, if you can do more and want to do more and you have more time that day, please feel free. This is not, this is just the minimum. This is just getting you into the habit of moving your body every single day. And then we’re going to just realize that even on busy days, that’s where you fit in these little tiny things. Cheryl McColgan (06:58.31)So let’s see here. I want to make sure that I don’t miss anything. Okay, we’re not dieting. We’re not losing weight. You’ll have the tracker. So yeah, I think I covered all of the points. just was going through my notes just to make sure that I didn’t miss anything. But I think that that gives you a good sense of what this challenge is about. If you don’t know me already and you come across this, you’re like, well, who is this that’s leading this challenge? I have a whole about page over at my website, but basically my degree is in psychology. have some graduate training in psychology. I’m a registered, experienced yoga teacher. I’ve practiced yoga for over 20 years. I have been strength training now, consistent. I’ve done it my whole life, but really only gotten consistent the last three years. And so that’s been a really exciting thing for me as what I classify now as an older person. It’s so important to health. And so you’ll probably learn a little bit about that somewhere along in the challenge as well. And then I’m also studying for my personal training certification. I don’t know if ever use it, but I’ve just been so into learning all the things around strength training that I thought, hey, why not? And then it’s something that I can share with you guys and hopefully, you know, give you some further information to benefit you and your goals. But yeah, so that’s a little bit about who I am. If you want to learn more and go over to the about page of my website and I am on stories daily and Instagram. And as we start this challenge, I’m to be starting at January 1st. I’m going to be doing it along with you. A lot of you will be starting on January 1st is awesome, but the great thing about this is I’ve set it up to be evergreen content on the website. So anytime you go to the website and click and sign up, you can start the challenge that very next day. So it’s something also that if you get, like I said, there’s no off track. Hopefully you want to complete the 30 days and just if you miss a day, go again. But say you get busy and you kind of just give up on it, but you come to a time in your life again where you want to restart. You can always do that. It’ll be there for you to do 30 days. at a time, anytime of year, because like I said, that’s what I always believe in. I don’t think you should wait. I think whenever you have the inkling to make a change, to start something, start it today, start it now. Just the only thing I will say is if you happen to find this before January 1st of 2026, I am in the process still of completing the content. At this point, it is Monday, December 29th. So hopefully it’s further along by the time you find this. Cheryl McColgan (09:20.59)and it should be available. But if for whatever reason it’s up and you sign up before January 1st, then you’re just going to have to wait a couple of days before you get started. So now the most important thing, if you’re listening on audio on the podcast feed to sign up, you’re going to go to healnourishgrow.com slash habits. And if you’re here on YouTube, the link will be down below. But yeah, I hope you join me. I think this should be fun. Like I said, it is a challenge. It’s 30 days of consistency, but it is nothing that you can’t handle. And I think it’ll give you a lot of confidence and a lot of interest in learning more about discipline and practicing them on a daily basis. And it’s just like your muscles, the more you practice it, the stronger it gets. So let’s all get more disciplined in 2026 together. And I’d love to have you join me and help you meet your goals. anyway, until, if well, you’re listening to the podcast, I’m gonna say until tomorrow, I will see you soon. Okay, thanks, bye.

 "If we can't bring the kids to the kitchen, maybe we can bring the kitchen to the kids." —Carolyn Federman   Food education often gets treated as optional, even though it shapes health, culture, and opportunity from the very start. When kids lack access to hands-on food learning, the gap shows up everywhere from classrooms to hospitals. This conversation explores what changes when education meets practicality. Carolyn Federman shares how years of work alongside Alice Waters and the Edible Schoolyard revealed a major barrier. Teaching kitchens worked, but they were out of reach for most schools. That insight led to the creation of Charlie Cart, a mobile teaching kitchen now used across schools, libraries, food banks, and pediatric settings nationwide. Press play to hear how food education scales without losing heart, and why access must include skills, not just ingredients. How Charlie Cart was designed to bring cooking education anywhere kids gather Why food education is essential to food access and public health The role of culture, family, and shared meals in shaping lifelong habits Lessons learned from building and manufacturing a mission-driven product How schools, libraries, hospitals, and communities are using mobile kitchens What it takes to make food education a national priority   Meet Carolyn: Before starting the Charlie Cart Project in 2014, Carolyn Federman led Alice Waters' Edible Schoolyard Project, developed programming with the Jamie Oliver Foundation, co-founded the Berkeley Food Institute, and co-produced UC Berkeley's Edible Education course with Michael Pollan. She is a proud emeritus of the Board of Directors of the Berkeley Public Library Foundation, and the author of New Favorites for Cooks (TenSpeed Press 2018), based on children's favorites from the Carlie Cart Project curriculum. Carolyn is the parent of two fabulous kids (who love to cook and eat!)

Send us a textHoliday Eating Without Guilt: A New Way to Navigate the HolidaysThe holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for so many women, they come with food guilt, stress, and the pressure to “be good” around food.In this episode, I'm breaking down why holiday eating feels so hard, and why the stress you feel around food isn't a personal failure it's a predictable response to restriction, pressure, and outdated nutrition rules.I walk you through what I call the holiday diet trap: the cycle of restriction, overeating, guilt, and shame that shows up every year, and explain why trying to control food more actually leads to less control.We talk about how holiday stress impacts your physiology, your appetite, and your food choices, and why mindful eating isn't about willpower, it's about creating safety, presence, and freedom around food.This episode is a call to shift from restriction to nourishment, from fear to trust, and from guilt to an abundance mindset so you can enjoy holiday food, feel good in your body, and stay connected to what actually matters.If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through holiday eating, this episode will change how you approach food —not just during the holidays, but for good.Why wait until January 1 to feel better?

What voices are shaping your leadership—encouraging courage, or quietly reinforcing shame?In this episode of the Tim Ahlman Podcast, Tim sits down with pastor, coach, and author Jeff Meyer to explore the concept of your Internal Board of Directors—the inner voices that guide (or derail) your decisions, identity, and spiritual resilience.Jeff shares vulnerably about a dark season that exposed the power of negative self-talk, the theology of shame, and how leaders—especially pastors—often become their own harshest critics. Together, Tim and Jeff unpack how law and gospel shape our inner dialogue, why isolation is so dangerous for leaders, and how grace reshapes both our brains and our leadership.This conversation weaves together neuroscience, pastoral theology, Luther, Scripture, and practical habits for cultivating healthier internal leadership—anchored in baptismal identity and the Spirit of Truth.Want to stay up to date on LCMS Happenings from Pastor Tim?Join the LCMS Current: https://www.uniteleadership.org/thelcmscurrentSupport the showWatch Us On Youtube!
