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
Pick one small habit from this episode—protein, fiber, electrolytes, more sleep, or more movement—and start today. Don’t wait for next week. Doing one tiny thing today is how you build the ripple effect of better health and energy.

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
Pick one spoke of The Habit Hub for Autoimmune health—mindset, food, movement, rest, connection, or "good" stress—and ask: what’s one tiny habit I can start today to strengthen this area?
