      Monday Morning Brew Series - Fueling Your February: Simple Nutrition Habits That Don’t Feel Overwhelming
      Feb 8 2026
      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...

    • Monday Morning Brew Series - SMART Goals Week 4: Your Momentum Checkpoint

      Monday Morning Brew Series - SMART Goals Week 4: Your Momentum Checkpoint
      Jan 27 2026
      Welcome back! Today we’re stepping into Week Four of your SMART fitness journey... the wrap‑up, the checkpoint, the moment where we pause and look at everything you’ve built over the last three weeks. If you’ve been here since Week One, you’ve shown courage, consistency, and a whole lot of heart and if you’re joining us now, you’re right on time because today is all about reflection, momentum, and setting yourself up for what comes next. Let’s dive in!Let’s take a moment to look at how far you’ve come.Week OneYou set your SMART goal.You showed up.You proved to yourself that you could start even if it wasn’t perfect, even if it felt messy.Week TwoYou strengthened your streak.You learned how to stay accountable without shame.You discovered that consistency isn’t about intensity, it’s about returning.Week ThreeYou upgraded your identity.You moved with intention.You completed four days of movement and proved that you’re becoming the kind of person who honors their body on purpose.That’s not small.That’s not accidental.That’s growth. And now, in Week Four, we’re taking everything you’ve learned and turning it into momentum.Week Four isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about integration. This is the week where you ask:What habits are stickingWhat habits need adjustingWhat habits feel goodWhat habits feel forcedWhat habits are becoming part of who I amWeek Four is your chance to refine, not restart. You’re not going back to zero. You’re building on a foundation you’ve already created.Here's your official Week Four Listener Challenge. “The Momentum Checkpoint”Over the next 7 days, complete this simple three‑part reflection:1. What worked? Think about the last three weeks.What habits felt natural?What actions made you feel proud?What routines actually fit your life?2. What needs adjusting?Not judging, adjusting.Maybe your workouts were too long.Maybe your schedule needs flexibility.Maybe you need more rest days.Maybe you need more variety.Adjusting is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.3. What’s one habit you want to carry into next month?Just one. Not five. Not ten.One habit that feels meaningful, doable, and aligned with who you’re becoming.This challenge helps you transition from “I’m trying” to “This is part of my life now.”Let’s talk about long‑term accountability, the kind that lasts beyond January.Here are a few ways to stay grounded:1. Keep your goals flexible. Life changes. Schedules shift.Your goals should move with you, not against you.2. Use identity‑based languageInstead of “I’m trying to work out,”say “I’m someone who moves my body.”Instead of “I’m trying to drink more water,”say “I’m someone who stays hydrated.”Identity fuels consistency.3. Build community. Share your wins. Share your struggles. Invite someone into your journey.Accountability grows stronger when it’s shared.4. Celebrate the small stuff. Every walk. Every stretch. Every mindful moment.Every return after a setback.Small wins build big momentumTake a deep breath with me.Think about the version of yourself who started this journey.Now think about the version of yourself today.What’s different?What’s stronger?What’s softer?What’s more aware? Now ask yourself:What do I want the next 30 days to feel likeWhat kind of energy do I want to carry forwardWhat’s one promise I can make to myself that feels kind and realisticHold onto those answers.They’re your roadmap for the next chapter.Week Four isn’t the end, it’s the checkpoint. It’s the moment where you recognize your growth, honor your effort, and choose your next step with intention.You’ve built consistency.You’ve built confidence. You’ve built identity.And now, you’re ready for whatever comes next.If this Monday Morning Brew series has helped you, share it with someone who’s starting their own journey and as always be kind to one another and be the change you want to see in the world!Stay tuned for next week, because we'll share some of our own tips and tricks that we use to stay consistent and accountable throughout the week and we'll talk about the importance of fueling properly before and after our workouts!

    • Monday Morning Brew Series - SMART Goals Week 3: The Consistency Upgrade

      Monday Morning Brew Series - SMART Goals Week 3: The Consistency Upgrade
      Jan 19 2026
      Welcome back! Hope you are all having a great start to your Day, grabbing your marinated bean water or tea and I have to say I'm so thankful you choose to listen to us and I hope that we help kickoff your Day in a positive and focused way! Well today we’re stepping into Week Three of your SMART fitness journey. If you’ve made it this far, take a second and acknowledge that. Most people fall off after Week One. But not You! You’re still here. You’re still showing up. That matters. Week Three is where your habits start to take shape. It’s where your brain begins to recognize, “Oh… we’re doing this now.” But it’s also where boredom, doubt, or life’s distractions can creep in. So today, we’re talking about how to upgrade your consistency, keep your momentum alive, and stay connected to your “why.”SEGMENT 1: WHAT MAKES WEEK THREE UNIQUEWeek Three is a turning point. Not because you’re suddenly doing harder workouts, but because you’re building identity.In Week One, you were trying something new. In Week Two, you were proving you could stick with it. But in Week Three? You’re becoming the kind of person who moves their body on purpose.This is where fitness shifts from a task… to a lifestyle. But here’s the catch: Week Three is also when the novelty wears off. You might feel:A little boredA little tiredA little tempted to skipOr even a little unsure if you’re making progressAll of that is normal. It doesn’t mean you’re failing whatsoever, it means you’re transitioning.This week is about leaning into the routine, not running from it.SEGMENT 2: RECONNECTING WITH YOUR “WHY”I'd love to pause and reconnect with something important... your “why.”Why did you start this journey?What were you hoping to feel?What were you hoping to change?What were you hoping to prove to yourself? Your “why” is your anchor.It’s the thing that keeps you going when motivation fades. Take a moment and bring that reason back to the front of your mind. That’s what’s going to carry you through Week Three.SEGMENT 3: THE WEEK THREE CHALLENGE — “THE CONSISTENCY UPGRADE”Alright, here’s your official Week Three Listener Challenge. “4‑Day Consistency Upgrade”. For the next 7 days, your goal is simple: Complete 4 days of intentional movement, any style, any length. Not perfection. Not intensity. Just four days where you choose to move your body on purpose.Movement options include:A 20‑minute walkA 10‑minute strength routineA stretching or mobility sessionA dance breakA yoga flowA beginner cardio videoA bike rideA swimA hikeEven cleaning or yard work if it gets your heart rate up The goal is intentional movement, not performance.You may be wondering Why this works:It strengthens your habit loop, It builds confidence, It keeps your goals flexible, It reduces the “start over Monday” cycle, It helps you feel proud of your consistency. Four days. That’s it.You can absolutely do this.SEGMENT 4: ACCOUNTABILITY BOOSTERS FOR WEEK THREE:Let’s talk about how to stay accountable this week as always without shame, without pressure.1. Use a simple tracking system A calendar. A notes app. A whiteboard. A sticky note on your fridge. Whatever works for you! Seeing your progress keeps your brain engaged.2. Celebrate the small winsDid you move for 10 minutes? That counts.Did you stretch instead of skipping entirely? That counts too. Small wins stack up.3. Pair your movement with something enjoyableA favorite playlist.A podcast episode.A walk with a friend.A show you only watch while on the treadmill. Pleasure makes habits stick.4. Don’t let one missed day turn into a missed weekIf you skip a day, don’t spiral.Just pick up where you left off.Consistency is built on returning, not perfection.SEGMENT 5: QUICK GUIDED REFLECTIONTake a breath with me.Think about the version of yourself you’re becoming.The one who moves with intention. The one who honors their body. The one who shows up even when it’s not exciting. Now ask yourself:What’s one small action I can take today to support that version of me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What would make me proud seven days from now?Think on these, I'd even suggest writing down and holding onto those answers.They’re your compass for Week Three.Week Three is where consistency becomes identity.Where effort becomes routine.Where small steps start to feel natural.You don’t need to be perfect.You don’t need to be intense.You just need to keep showing up, four days this week, with intention and compassion.Well that's a wrap! If this episode helped you, share it with someone who’s on their own fitness journey.As always, thank you for taking time out of your Day to join us! Remember to be kind to yourself and to be kind to each-other, be helpful, be useful and tell your loved ones how much you love them, call that friend who crossed your mind randomly and just say hi! Pay it forward... buy that person...
