Description:Sometimes a wake up call doesn't arrive as a crisis. Sometimes it arrives as a quiet realization: the way I'm living isn't actually working. In this encore episode, we revisit a powerful conversation with James Clear, bestselling author of Atomic Habits, whose work has helped millions rethink how real, lasting change actually happens. Not through willpower, reinvention, or overnight transformation—but through the small, often invisible choices we make every day. This conversation is a wake up call to the myth of “someday”, a wake up call to waiting for motivation before we act, and a wake up call to the belief that big change requires big drama. James breaks down why habits are less about self-discipline and more about identity, environment, and systems—and how the patterns we repeat, often unconsciously, are shaping our lives for better or worse. Together, we explore how paying attention to what we practice daily can wake us up to the lives we're actually building. If you're standing at the edge of change—feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, exhausted by self-improvement cycles, or longing for a more sustainable way forward—this episode offers a grounded, hopeful reset. Let this be your wake up call to begin again, not perfectly, not dramatically, but honestly, intentionally, and one doable step at a time. Thought-provoking Quotes: “The most powerful change doesn't happen when you decide to achieve a goal—it happens when you decide to become a different kind of person. Every small habit is a vote for the identity you're building, and over time those votes add up to who you believe you are.” — James Clear “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” — James Clear “If you can get 1% better every day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better.” — James Clear “Fix the inputs, and the outputs will fix themselves.” — James Clear “The goal isn't to run a marathon. It's to become a runner.” — James Clear “Lasting change isn't about doing something perfectly or dramatically. It's about showing up consistently in small ways, even when it feels insignificant, because that consistency is what makes transformation inevitable.”— James Clear Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear - https://amzn.to/4pQLrh6 James Clear's 3-2-1 Newsletter - https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1 Guest's Links: Website - https://jamesclear.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jamesclear/ Twitter - https://x.com/jamesclear Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/jamesclear Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

She explains that while protein is crucial for providing the necessary amino acids for muscle repair, it is the act of resistance training that initiates the muscle-building process. The discussion highlights the interplay between mechanical tension and protein intake in achieving optimal muscle growth and repair.TakeawaysYour body will not build or preserve muscle mass unless it senses some kind of mechanical tension.The tension triggers muscle protein synthesis and adaptations.Protein is helpful for providing amino acids to repair and build muscle.Resistance training is the stimulus that gets the process started.Mechanical tension is key for muscle adaptation.Lifting, pushing, and pulling create muscle tension.Strengthening muscle fibers prepares them for future stress.Protein alone isn't enough; resistance training is essential.Amino acids are crucial for muscle repair and growth.Muscle growth requires both protein and resistance training.TitlesUnderstanding Muscle Growth: The Key ComponentsThe Essential Role of Protein in Muscle RepairSound bites"Strengthening muscle fibers for the future""Amino acids repair and build muscle""Protein provides amino acids for muscle repair"Chapters00:00 Understanding GLP-1 and Its Impact on Weight Management00:34 Integrating Resistance Training into Your Routine

In this solo episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, Laurel Boivin explores how tiny, consistent actions can create extraordinary change. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this conversation is for you. Laurel shares stories from her own journey—including the lessons learned while walking 1,500 miles in a single year—and client experiences that show how starting small builds momentum, confidence, and self-trust. You'll discover: * Why small, ordinary steps are more powerful than giant leaps * How consistency shapes confidence and strengthens self-trust * The importance of celebrating progress as much as setting goals * Practical ways to recommit when you've fallen out of rhythm * Journaling prompts to help you gain clarity and take your next step Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration: 1. Where do I feel overwhelmed by the size or magnitude of the change I want to make in my life? 2. What's one step I could take in the next 24 hours to move toward my goal? 3. What kind of support do I need to keep going day after day? (Do I need a system, a tool, or a person?) 4. How would my life feel if I trusted that small steps are enough to accomplish what I want to accomplish? 5. How does it feel to be more confident and have more self-trust, knowing that I have the ability to do what I set out to do?

Benoy was an Alumni Scholar at the Stern School of Business. Li Wang Squarespace Website Designer, Marketing Director of Reneu Energy and the Solar Maverick Podcast I'm a former journalist turned website designer. I work solely on the Squarespace platform and have embraced its esthetic beauty and ease of use. I work with people who have a strong vision for their business and I simply unearth what makes them shine. I tell your brand story through the same processes I used as a former newspaper reporter. I currently have a waitlist for website design projects, but you can reserve your place here. Squarespace Circle Member Squarespace Authorized Trainer Background and philosophy Better every day. That's the way I aspire to live. I was born in 1973 in Philadelphia. My parents immigrated from Taipei and my dad's first job out of graduate school was in Philadelphia. I'm a die-hard Eagles fan and being raised in that city has shaped my identity. Hip-hop culture served as my first artistic influence. Run-DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys shaped how I created my own environment. During the summer of O.J. trial I interned at the Philadelphia Daily News. I became hooked on journalism. I went on to another internship at the Des Moines Register and started my career as a business reporter for the Times of Trenton. I was the arts editor for the Honolulu Weekly and then the film critic for the Harrisburg Patriot-News. Website design I could see the end of the print industry so I decided to get a professional certificate in digital marketing from New York University. I started an agency with a partner doing SEO, PPC , content creation and website design. My partner decided to focus on software development and I turned my attention to website design. Today I help small business owners shine online with compelling websites to resonate with their target audiences. Personal interests I'm a fitness enthusiast (CrossFit), watch collector (14060M, PAM112, SBGA085), and father (Matthew and Noemi).
