  • #133 | Why It’s Worth Quitting A Habit That Feels Impossible In The Name Of Autoimmune Health (Yes, Even Diet Coke)

    Send us Fan Mail

    We all have one. That one habit that feels impossible to change. Maybe it’s a drink, a snack, a scroll, a loop you can’t seem to break—even though part of you really wants to.

    In this episode, I sit down with CLUB member Emma to talk about the habit that once had a grip on both of us (hello, Diet Coke)—and how letting it go opened the door to something bigger. This isn’t about perfection or pressure. It’s about proof: that small shifts (even with a “big” habit) really can change everything.

    You’ll hear:

    • What makes some habits feel harder than they are
    • The role of identity, shame, and pride in habit change
    • How to know when it’s time for a “quit date” vs. a “tiny step”
    • What happens when you start believing you can do the hard thing
    • The ripple effect: how one habit leads to more energy, clarity, and control

    What’s your version of that “too hard” habit? Name it. Write it down. Get curious. The press play—and hear how someone just like you tackled theirs (and what happened next). It might just be your turn.
