The Habit Healers

How a Smoothie Explosion Taught Me the Secret to Lasting Habits


Listen Later

I didn’t expect a life lesson from my blender—but my Vitamix had other plans. What started as an innocent smoothie experiment turned into a full-blown explosion of berries, beans, and humility all over my kitchen ceiling.

In this episode, I share how that messy moment became one of my favorite “messages in the moment.” You’ll hear what a failed smoothie taught me about the power of flow, structure, and patience—and how the same principles apply to building lasting habits.

I’ll walk you through the three big takeaways:

* Why more isn’t always better (and why doing everything at once backfires)

* How rushing the process leads to burnout—and sometimes, a magenta-streaked ceiling

* Why mastery isn’t about perfection, but about respecting the basics, every single time

By the end, you’ll see why habit change works best when it’s blended—not forced. Because whether it’s your health, your routines, or your morning smoothie, real transformation happens when you stop cramming, start pacing, and give yourself room to breathe.

🥤 Join me for this one—it’s a little messy, a little funny, and full of lessons you can actually use.Link to Dr. Marbas Substack:
