Building Ballers with Fit 4 Football

You want to live healthier. But “healthy living” isn’t some vague, Pinterest-worthy dream. It’s a demanding, real-life commitment that requires clarity about what you want, where you’re headed, and how you’re going to get there. And that comes when you make the journey clear. Yet, here’s the kicker: life will throw curveballs. Work deadlines, family drama, unexpected setbacks—they all show up. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    But that doesn’t mean your goals have to get buried. Your job is to make the journey clear, own the season you’re in, and push forward with purpose. The harsh truth? Without a clear path, a checklist, or a plan, you’ll spin your wheels. You might “start a diet,” “try a workout,” or “drink more water” without seeing progress because you don’t really know what&nbsp;exactly&nbsp;you want or how to bend your actions to your current reality. You stay stuck in what comes easy. You complain more than you take A.I.M. and let your season dictate your next steps. Of course, your season matters. But you have to connect it with your path. The K.I.S.S. ~ Establish your path!      Even though there is a time for everything, you need to be able to work in the season you are in and figure a way to work with it, not against it. So, how do you establish your path in a season where life is messy but your goals can still thrive? 1. Define What Healthy Living Means for You&nbsp;Today Forget broad, generic goals like “eat better” or “work out more.” Get specific and ruthless:  What does a healthy life look like&nbsp;right now? What habits can you realistically implement given your energy, time, and resources? What are non-negotiable actions you can commit to this week that actually move the needle?  Don’t borrow someone else’s definition of health. Maybe your “healthy” is walking 20 minutes 3x a week instead of running marathons. Maybe it’s prepping breakfast and cutting back on soda. Whatever it is, make it personal, clear, and actionable. 2. Map Your Road—Set Your Destination and Mini Milestones If you don’t know where you’re going, every step feels random. Set a clear&nbsp;distinction: What is the result you want? Less fatigue? Fit into a specific outfit? Lower blood pressure? Then, break it down into bite-sized milestones.  Month 1: Cut processed sugar by half Month 2: Add strength training twice a week Month 3: Improve sleep routine  Having this roadmap gives you a sense of direction and control, even when chaos hits. It’s fine-tuned for the season you’re in—not some pie-in-the-sky fantasy. 3. Choose Your “How” With Realism—and Build in Flexibility Doing healthy living “right” isn’t about rigid rules that fail as soon as life gets tough. How will you pursue your path&nbsp;so it fits your daily reality?  What workouts can you do in 20 minutes or less? Which meal preps align with your cooking skills and schedule? How will you track wins and course-correct without judgment?  Remember, your path is not a straight line. It bends with work, trips, family emergencies, and motivational dips. Flexibility isn’t a weakness—it’s a strategy.   Your Healthy Life Is Waiting—If You Make the Journey Clear You can absolutely have the healthy life you want. But clarity is your weapon. When you know what you want, where you’re headed, and how you’ll get there—all tailored to the season you’re living—your chances of progress skyrocket. Life will try to derail you. That’s a given. But no one else gets to map your path or own your journey. And the battles? They’re part of the process. The real win is refusing to wander aimlessly. Make your journey clear. Take the steps. Own your season. Your best healthy life isn’t a someday goal. Create your now!    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   &nbsp; #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and...

Ever feel like you're living with someone who’s always running late, forgetting things, or totally oblivious to how much time has passed? Or maybe you're that person? In this episode, we’re breaking down time blindness—a real, brain-based struggle that affects people with ADHD, whether they’ve been diagnosed or not. Chalene opens up about what it’s like to live with ADHD as an adult and how it’s impacted her marriage, parenting, and those always-chaotic travel days. You’ll hear expert insights from Dr. Russell Barkley and personal stories from both Chalene and Bret, who also shares his hilarious (and brutally honest) rebuttal about what it’s really like to travel with someone who has time blindness. Whether you’re team “why can’t you be on time?!” or team “I swear I’m trying,” this episode is full of lightbulb moments, laughs, and a whole lot of validation. &nbsp; 🎯Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!&nbsp; &nbsp; 👉 &nbsp; Join the PodSquad on Facebook!&nbsp; &nbsp; Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉 &nbsp; 💪🏼Join the all-new Phase It!!

The Everyday Toxins Harming Your Immune System and How to Defend Against Them 

 ‘A must-read for anyone committed to living a healthier, toxin-free life.’ David Perlmutter, author of #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain

‘Dr Cohen expertly dissects exactly where you are getting harmful exposures that wreak havoc on your immunity, and she gives practical advice on how to dodge and weave around those toxic obstacles. This is the book for you if you want to optimize your longevity’ William Li, New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease

Immune conditions and autoimmune diseases are skyrocketing in our modern world, driven by hidden triggers in our environment. From unregulated chemicals and radiation to light and noise pollution, these immune-disrupting agents (IDCs) push our bodies into chronic illness. While factors like age, medication use, and overall health play a role, many doctors are struggling to offer effective, sustainable solutions.

In Detoxify, integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen—drawing on over two decades of clinical experience—offers a powerful, practical guide to reducing immune system stress and activating your body’s natural detoxification pathways. Using accessible language, Dr. Cohen reveals the surprising links between everyday toxins and chronic symptoms, uncovering what’s hiding in our water, food, personal care products, and household items. More importantly, she provides simple, cost-effective steps to help you lead a toxin-reduced life, no matter your budget or lifestyle.

You’ll explore Dr. Cohen’s 4A’s of environmental health, conduct a full-body risk assessment, and follow a transformative 21-day plan to cut exposure and boost your detox process. This comprehensive resource also includes lab test recommendations, DIY recipes for household and personal care products, the Detoxify Food Pyramid©, and over two dozen delicious, detoxifying recipes. With Detoxify, you’ll have the tools to make practical lifestyle changes that can alleviate chronic illness, strengthen your immune system, and enhance your quality of life.

Detoxify: The Everyday Toxins Harming Your Immune System and How to Defend Against Them, By Dr Aly Cohen, Read by Jennifer Woodward

Talent feels like the golden ticket to success. We’re told that natural ability is what sets winners apart—the ones who get ahead with ease while the rest just fall behind. But let’s be real: talent alone won’t get you to the top. The real reason some people rise when others quit is grit—the relentless, stubborn refusal to give up. Say yes to grit! Life doesn’t pause for your dreams. Bills demand attention. Family needs your time. Work piles up. It’s easy to get swallowed by responsibilities, and before you know it, you’re abandoning what you said mattered most. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    Here’s the truth nobody likes to admit: responsibility is the price of ambition, not the excuse to quit. If you want to get to the top, you’ll face distractions, drag, and pressure. The question is—will you keep going? Grit Beats Talent, Countless Times Over Talent gets your foot in the door. Grit kicks your door wide open and drags you through. There’s always someone with more skill, more talent, or more raw ability. But most quit when the fight gets hard. Winners? They keep punching past every obstacle. The K.I.S.S. ~ Say yes to grit!   Grit isn’t some fluffy word. It’s refusing to settle when everything inside says “stop.” It’s showing up every single day—even when your energy is drained and the path seems impossible. How to Say Yes to Grit   Choose Hunger Your drive needs to come from a place deeper than fleeting motivation. It has to be a hunger that won’t let you look away when times get tough.   Commit to Consistency Talent can have off days. Grit never takes a day off. Hundreds of small wins stacked over time crush even the brightest flashes of talent that burn out too soon.   Rise Every Time You Fall Failure isn’t the end; it’s the checkpoint. Those who rise after every knockdown are the ones who eventually win.   Your Move Stop waiting for perfect conditions or some talent upgrade. Real success is brutal—requiring grit at your core. Own your story. Own the dirt, the setbacks, the relentless effort it takes every single day. Say yes to grit. Because that’s the only ticket that truly works.  No one owes you the top. But if you refuse to quit, you’ll own your place there. "Be present. Be incredible.

3761 Say Yes to Grit!

Attention is the hidden power behind learning, focus, and self-control. For parents, helping children understand how to pay attention isn’t just about getting through homework or reading—it’s teaching a skill that shapes the way they experience the world, turn distractions into focus, and tackle the challenges of life ahead; how to fight for your child's focus. Think about reading. Maybe your child eagerly picks up a book, but after a few sentences protests, “I’m bored.” That moment isn’t just about the book itself—it’s about their mind wanting constant stimulation and having trouble sticking with slower, steady work. In today’s digital world, this problem is only getting worse. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .    Our collective attention spans are shrinking. Thanks in large part to rapid-fire screen time, kids—and adults too—expect things to move at lightning speed. But the human mind processes information more slowly than these quick scene changes. After just 10 seconds of static content, we’re ready to scroll or click again. Watch what your child consumes on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or movies. Notice how fast cuts and flashy effects come one after another. You might find yourself sucked in too, scanning rapidly from one reel to the next without stopping. This constant stimulus rewires young brains to crave more extreme, faster, louder input. The result? Their attention to what really matters—in school lessons, family conversations, or personal growth—dwindles. It’s no surprise they say, “I’m bored.” Their brains are conditioned to expect entertainment that does not require patience or mental effort to process. But attention isn’t a given; it’s a skill that needs practice and guidance beyond the screen. The K.I.S.S. ~ Provide practice and guidance beyond the screen!   Without it, children will struggle to engage deeply, understand complex concepts, or develop persistence. These are precisely the skills that create success in school, relationships, and life beyond the screen. So what can we do as parents?   Set clear, consistent limits on screen time—not just in quantity but in quality. Choose content with a slower pace or that encourages critical thinking, rather than passive consumption.   Model focused attention for yourself.&nbsp;When your child sees you put your phone down, read, or fully engage in conversations, you’re showing them what paying attention looks like.   Practice short attention-building exercises.&nbsp;Start with brief reading sessions or mindfulness moments and gradually increase the length as your child builds stamina.   Encourage activities that require sustained focus, like playing an instrument, sports, or crafts. These provide natural challenges to attention without screens.   Talk about what attention really means.&nbsp;Explain that paying attention is like exercising a muscle—hard at first, but it gets stronger over time. Connect it to their goals, like finishing a book or understanding a new skill.   Attention may not feel as flashy as the next viral video, but it’s the backbone of learning and self-control. By teaching kids to slow down, resist distractions, and stick with what matters, parents are helping them build brains wired for success—not just a quick dopamine hit. Today’s screen-driven world makes this more important than ever. It’s up to us as parents to protect and grow this fundamental skill, setting our children up, not just to cope, but to thrive in the classroom, community, family, and all of life. "Be present.
