Why It's Worth Breaking A Habit That Feels Impossible (For Us It Was Diet Coke)

Send us a text

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
