Do you ever feel like you can only make progress on your health goals when you're “in the mood” or feel motivated?

So many people with autoimmune diseases wait for motivation to show up before taking action on habits that could help them feel better. But what if motivation isn’t something you wait for — it’s something you can actually build on demand?

In this episode, you'll:

• Learn why most people unknowingly sabotage their own motivation and how to fix it using belief, desire, and commitment.
• Hear real-life coaching examples that show exactly how turning motivation into a habit leads to long-term autoimmune health.

Press play now to learn how to generate motivation anytime you need it — and finally stay consistent with the habits that make you feel better.

Diet Coke: love it, hate it, or can’t quit it? In this fun and real conversation, I sit down with Emma, a CLUB Habit Hub member and fellow Diet Coke dropout, to unpack why this fizzy favorite has such a powerful pull. We explore why it’s been called a “fridge cigarette,” what it really takes to quit, and the ripple effect one habit shift can have on your energy, health, and pride. Whether your “thing” is Diet Coke or something else, this episode will help you see you’re not alone—and remind you that every tiny shift adds up to you doing what can feel impossible.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why Diet Coke has been nicknamed the “fridge cigarette” and why that it makes so much sense.
• The surprising role of pride in breaking stubborn habits.
• How Emma used a mix of “TRUST in the Tiny” and a “Quit Date” to finally step away from a habit she never thought she could.
• Why answering a simple question about yourself can change everything.
• The ripple effect: how one bold habit shift can spark confidence and momentum in other areas of health.

Powerful Quote:
"Healing doesn’t mean you have to give up everything you love. It means finally learning those simple shifts that keep your energy steady, your inflammation low, and your sanity intact." – Emma

DO of the DAY:
Write down one habit that feels impossible to change and set a simple goal around it. Whether you start tiny or draw a bold line in the sand, the act of naming it and making a plan is your first domino.

Blood sugar might not be something you think about every day—but maybe it should be. In this episode, I sit down with Ben, a nutrition expert who also happens to live with type 1 diabetes. His lived experience and professional expertise combine to deliver practical wisdom we can all use—whether or not diabetes is part of your story. From the top three food habits for stable blood sugar, to the non-food habit he calls the “unsung hero,” Ben shows us how better blood sugar means better energy, better health, and better autoimmune resilience.

Key Takeaways:

• The top 3 nutrition habits that help balance blood sugar (diabetes or not!)
• The surprising non-food habit Ben calls the “unsung hero” of blood sugar control
• Why consistency and mindset matter just as much as carbs and protein
• The truth about type 1 vs. type 2 diabetes—and the myths that drive Ben crazy
• Why decision fatigue is real in chronic illness, and how to simplify with habits that stick
• How lifestyle and conventional medicine don’t have to compete—they can and do life each other up

DO of the DAY

Sometimes a conversation had over on another podcast is just too good not to share here on this one. I was recently a guest on Too Human with Nurse Nell and loved her questions and energy. It’s one I want to air here, especially if you’re looking for a refresher on the six spokes of the Habit Hub for autoimmune health—mindset, food, movement, rest, connection, and "good" stress.

In this conversation, we explore how to shift from feeling powerless with autoimmune disease to discovering the 70–90% of your health you can influence. We dive into how tiny habits can spark massive shifts, why celebrating what’s working changes everything, and how our identities can transform through a diagnosis.

You’ll hear:

• What it looks like to shift from “my life will always be worse” to “my life could be better.”
• Why “trust in the tiny” is the key to building sustainable habits.
• How celebrating progress fuels energy and momentum.
• The unexpected ripple effect your health habits can have for future generations.

DO of the DAY

If fatigue, brain fog, or feeling like you just aren't a consistent person keep you from following through on healthy habits, self-sabotage just might be at work.

When you hear the phrase self-sabotage, it’s easy to think “Not me.” But my guest today, clarity coach Sam Hawley, is here to help us see it differently — and maybe even spot where it’s quietly draining your energy and affecting your autoimmune health. From overthinking to people-pleasing, hyper-achieving to procrastinating, Sam shares how self-sabotage patterns often start in childhood as a way to protect you…and how you can shift them into habits that actually support your health. You’ll learn tools like “permission slips” and a 12-second grounding practice that can help you make better choices, preserve your energy, and feel more in control of your day.

Key Takeaways:

• What self-sabotage really is (and why it’s not an attack on your character)
• Ten common sabotage patterns and how to spot the top ones affecting your energy and health
• Why “permission slips” can instantly lower stress and open up possibility
• How to use a 12-second, 5-senses grounding practice to interrupt self-sabotage in the moment
• The surprising connection between self-sabotage, self-trust, and your ability to follow through on healthy habits
• Why breaking a sabotage pattern in one area of life makes it easier to shift others

DO of the DAY:
Notice a moment when you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or “should-ing” yourself. Pause for three deep breaths and try a simple, grounding, and mindful practice to bring yourself back into the present moment before you act. This quick reset can save your energy and help you choose the next best step for your health.

The #1 skill you can master for your health isn’t cooking, exercising, or even stress management—it’s the skill of making and breaking habits.

Key Takeaways:

• Why habit change is the #1 skill that determines your health success
• The difference between knowing what helps and actually living what helps
• The micro-skills that add up to the umbrella skill of habit change
• A CLUB Happening that shows how thinking differently leads to doing differently
• How to use the “on-deck circle” of fall to prepare for the New Year. Yes, 2026 goals start today.

“Skills are freedom. Get skilled up.” – Pat Falvey

DO of the DAY:
Ask yourself: What am I doing right now to put the belief that habits matter into action? If the answer is nothing, you may believe it in your head but not live it in your body. Commit to one thing—time, money, help, or a new approach—during this “on-deck” season.

Sometimes the most powerful health tool isn’t food, movement, or rest—it’s connection. In this episode, I share one simple question that has transformed how I support others and how I feel supported myself. You’ll hear the science behind why this matters for autoimmune health and how asking (or being asked) this one thing can lower stress, ease fatigue, and strengthen your relationships.

Key Takeaways:

• The “help or hug” question and how it can transform connection.
• Why social connection can trigger the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response for both people involved.
• The research showing connection lowers distress and improves quality of life in autoimmune disease.
• How being the person others turn to with hard news has become one of my most meaningful measures of health.
• Why inside CLUB Habit Hub, the space to ask for help or a hug is a game-changer for making healthier habits stick.

DO of the DAY
Ask someone close to you: “Do you want help or a hug?” Then invite them to ask you the same when you bring something hard their way.
