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.

If fatigue, brain fog, or feeling like you just aren't a consistent person keep you from following through on healthy habits, self-sabotage just might be at work.

When you hear the phrase self-sabotage, it’s easy to think “Not me.” But my guest today, clarity coach Sam Hawley, is here to help us see it differently — and maybe even spot where it’s quietly draining your energy and affecting your autoimmune health. From overthinking to people-pleasing, hyper-achieving to procrastinating, Sam shares how self-sabotage patterns often start in childhood as a way to protect you…and how you can shift them into habits that actually support your health. You’ll learn tools like “permission slips” and a 12-second grounding practice that can help you make better choices, preserve your energy, and feel more in control of your day.

Key Takeaways:

• What self-sabotage really is (and why it’s not an attack on your character)
• Ten common sabotage patterns and how to spot the top ones affecting your energy and health
• Why “permission slips” can instantly lower stress and open up possibility
• How to use a 12-second, 5-senses grounding practice to interrupt self-sabotage in the moment
• The surprising connection between self-sabotage, self-trust, and your ability to follow through on healthy habits
• Why breaking a sabotage pattern in one area of life makes it easier to shift others

DO of the DAY:
Notice a moment when you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or “should-ing” yourself. Pause for three deep breaths and try a simple, grounding, and mindful practice to bring yourself back into the present moment before you act. This quick reset can save your energy and help you choose the next best step for your health.

The #1 skill you can master for your health isn’t cooking, exercising, or even stress management—it’s the skill of making and breaking habits. In this episode, I share why habit change is the foundation for autoimmune health, why information isn’t enough, and how building this one skill makes every other health goal possible.

Key Takeaways:

• Why habit change is the #1 skill that determines your health success
• The difference between knowing what helps and actually living what helps
• The micro-skills that add up to the umbrella skill of habit change
• A CLUB Happening that shows how thinking differently leads to doing differently
• How to use the “on-deck circle” of fall to prepare for the New Year. Yes, 2026 goals start today.
• What happens when you make this skill your top priority before any other health goal

“Skills are freedom. Get skilled up.” – Pat Falvey

DO of the DAY:
Ask yourself: What am I doing right now to put the belief that habits matter into action? If the answer is nothing, you may believe it in your head but not live it in your body. Commit to one thing—time, money, help, or a new approach—during this “on-deck” season.

Sometimes the most powerful health tool isn’t food, movement, or rest—it’s connection. In this episode, I share one simple question that has transformed how I support others and how I feel supported myself. You’ll hear the science behind why this matters for autoimmune health and how asking (or being asked) this one thing can lower stress, ease fatigue, and strengthen your relationships.

Key Takeaways:

• The “help or hug” question and how it can transform connection.
• Why social connection can trigger the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response for both people involved.
• The research showing connection lowers distress and improves quality of life in autoimmune disease.
• How being the person others turn to with hard news has become one of my most meaningful measures of health.
• Why inside CLUB Habit Hub, the space to ask for help or a hug is a game-changer for making healthier habits stick.

DO of the DAY
Ask someone close to you: “Do you want help or a hug?” Then invite them to ask you the same when you bring something hard their way.

You might think "responsibility" sounds heavy, maybe even guilt-ridden. But in this episode, I’m flipping that word on its head. We’re talking about fierce responsibility—not blame, but empowerment. You'll hear the belief that changed everything for me, and how it's helping me and my clients take control of their autoimmune health in practical, feel-good ways. I’m also introducing a new belief seed worth planting, sharing one of my biggest takeaways from a creativity retreat, and giving you one simple way to start shifting from reaction to response today.

Key Takeaways:

• The life-changing redefinition of responsibility as response-ability
• Why reacting is human—but learning to respond is powerful
• A new “belief seed” to plant for autoimmune health: I am responsible for my health
• What it means to control the controllables—and what those actually are
• What I learned about how to distill big life lessons into actionable change...and how you can do it, too

"We don’t have control over everything in life, but what we can control, we need to take a fierce responsibility for." – Elizabeth Gilbert 

DO of the DAY:
Ask yourself: What is one problem I can take some fierce responsibility for today?
Then, follow it up with: How can I take responsibility for it—starting now?
Challenge yourself to find just one answer and act on it. This is how you build the ability to respond and start becoming someone who feels in control of their health.

As I approached a milestone birthday last year, I found myself checking-in with a future version of me. And now, it's earned a spot in my annual habit rotation. In this episode, I share the exact habit I practiced to build a deeper relationship with “Amy at 41,” how it changed my thoughts, actions, and results, and how you can use this same birthday-based fresh start effect to create autoimmune health and lasting change. Spoiler: it starts with writing a love letter to the future you.

In this episode:

• How to use your birthday as a powerful fresh start to build habits that last
• What it looks like to create a meaningful relationship with future you
• The specific physical strength habits I tracked and practiced all year
• How I used weekly reflections, metrics, and mindset tools to measure progress
• What I wrote in my email to “Amy at 41”… and what’s coming next for 42

DO of the DAY:

Give yourself the gift of communicating with future you. Plan for him or her and commit to following through on that plan to get you closer to your feel-good self. Choose a date—your next birthday works beautifully—and send a note from today’s you to the version of you you're becoming. Be honest. Be specific. Be loving.

If you’ve ever picked up a journal and thought, “Is this really going to help?”—this episode is for you. I’m joined by Jennifer Faherty, founder of PsychPaper and creator of the Positive Psychology Planner, to explore how journaling isn’t just a creative outlet—it’s a science-backed strategy that rewires the brain, regulates emotions, and helps us move from knowing to doing. Whether you’ve been writing for years or never journaled a day in your life, this conversation is packed with insight, strategy, and encouragement to make journaling a habit that sticks.

Jennifer’s story is one of science meets soul. Her personal journey—from being gifted her first journal by a best friend to studying positive psychology at Penn—beautifully mirrors what I teach inside the CLUB: how writing down your thoughts can support your health from the inside out.

Key Takeaways

• How journaling supports emotional regulation, memory, sleep, and resilience
• Why writing by hand activates more areas of the brain than typing
• What counts as journaling—and why there’s no one right way to do it
• A fresh perspective on gratitude and other positive emotions worth tracking
• How journaling helps apply what we know to what we do
• Tips to personalize your journaling practice and make it feel good to stick with
• The overlooked role of journaling as a foundational habit for all other habits

"What feels like love?"
—Jennifer Faherty, on her favorite go-to journaling prompt

DO of the DAY
Use journaling to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Try a prompt like “What feels like love?” or “I am a person who…” and write whatever comes up. No rules. No pressure. Just pen to paper—and see what shifts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you really belong—in a group, in a space, in your own body—this episode is for you. I’m sharing a real coaching session with my client, Sara, who brought this vulnerable question to me as her coach. Together, we unpack the deeper belief behind it, explore where it might be coming from, and build a real-world strategy she can use to feel more grounded and connected—inside and out.

It’s a powerful peek into the kind of work we do inside the CLUB—and the kind of support available when you stop trying to figure it all out alone.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why “I'm not sure I belong here” is more than just a passing thought—it’s a habitual belief that you can shift
• How we spot brain drama versus real-world evidence when it comes to belonging
• The importance of finding a safe space to build awareness, feel more acceptance, and take more guided action to create the healthy life you want
• The surprising bonus benefits Sara has experienced through coaching
• A peek at the real conversations that help clients make lasting habit change
