The Walk with Me Podcast: Simplify Your Relationship with Food & Fitness

Let’s Walk 1 Mile!

What do you do when life suddenly feels chaotic? When work ramps up, family emergencies hit, or you’re simply stretched too thin, it’s easy to let your health habits slide. In this episode, Sherie introduces the concept of “basic order”—three anchor habits you can lean on when everything else feels out of control. Whether you’re in survival mode or just short on time, this is the ultimate permission slip to simplify your health and still move forward.

✔ 3 Anchor Habits That Work in Chaos – No fancy routines or perfect plans—just simple, grounding practices

🚶‍♀️ Your Action Item: Visualize Your Backup Plan

• Think of a recent time when your health habits had to take a back seat (work stress, travel, summer chaos).
• Now, imagine how you might have still followed through on just these 3 habits:
  1. Prioritize protein
  2. Eat a substantial first meal
  3. Move more (ideally walk)
• How would that have changed your experience? Write it down. Use it to prepare for the next time life gets messy.
