Fast food is not the enemy on a wellness journey!

Cadbury eggs, deviled eggs, and Brunch. Easter here we come!

You’ve got the Q’s and we’ve got the A’s!

This week we are answering questions from YOU, the listener. We got some pretty great ones and really wanted to take the time to give each question the respect it deserves. If you ever have any questions for us please reach out to us at [email protected] or on our Instagram “DroppingIntoHappinessPod”

A big part of a wellness journey is setting goals. And, let’s face it, sometimes even that can become a struggle. So, big goals, little goals, and all the goals in between, we talk about how we lay them out and how we make a plan to keep them top of mind. And…..what we do when we don’t reach a goal. It happens.

Spoiler alert: Rachel loves her a good planner and Maggie is the Post-It note queen!

Having a support system can make or break a wellness journey. And guess what, it is going to look different to every single person. And that’s OK!! There is no secret formula for having a good support system. This week we talk about who is in our support system, where our support system has grown, and how indirect support (i.e. Instagram, wellness group chats, etc.) can play a big role as well!

Say you enjoy having a glass of wine on Friday nights after a long week. Or going out with friends a couple times a month for cocktails to catch up. Just because you are now on wellness journey doesn’t mean those things have to end! Let’s talk about how you can be a healthy person and STILL go have those cocktails or that glass of wine.

Sometimes we give the scale too much power on a weight loss journey. And when we do this, it can affect our mindset. So, this week we are posing a question. If the scale did not exist….how would you gage your success? We discuss all sorts of ways to measure and celebrate a wellness journey WITHOUT even looking at a scale.

No matter how well prepared you are, or how excited you are about starting a wellness journey…...a negative mindset can pop up. Out of nowhere. It is human nature. Our motivation won’t always be strong. Our dedication can slowly dwindle. This week we talk about recognizing what a negative mindset could look like, how we dealt with them, and how we moved past them.

Don’t worry, it’s totally normal.

When thinking about a wellness journey, lots of times we tend to plan out our meals first and foremost. But what about the snacks?! We can have the best intentions when it comes to meals, but those snacks can just sneak up on you. This week we share our go-to snacks that get us through a busy day, after workouts, and even our favs for travel!

Have you ever heard that one quote or mantra that totally spoke to you? It just seemed to be exactly what you needed to hear, exactly when you needed to hear it?
