Are you excited yet anxious about your next chapter?

In this podcast, you’ll gain things like…

All equipping you to crush your day AND your bucket list.
I’m Lorrie Mickelson. As a yoga and pilates teacher, certified personal trainer with a masters in health and physical education, I’ve found the recipe for restful nights that smoothly roll into joy-filled days. Recently, I faced sleep issues, decreased strength, and mental fuzziness. Although I was going through menopause I knew something else was going on and was feeling the toll of neglecting self-care. Never again.
If you want to regain your MOJO and ensure this chapter is your best chapter, go and listen to our fan favorite Episode 3: How to build habits that last and help you live a healthier and happier life!
227: Before You Do More, Celebrate the Habits and Routines that You're Already Doing!
What if, instead of asking "What's next?"...you simply appreciated what's already here?
In Episode #227 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're taking a break from adding, improving, and optimizing.
Instead, we're creating space to notice the habits, routines, and little rituals you've already built—the ones that quietly make your days feel good.
Together we'll explore:
Why we don't always need another habit or another self-improvement project
How to recognize the everyday routines that are already serving you
The value of pausing before the busy holiday season begins
Why celebrating what you've already created can be just as powerful as starting something new
This isn't about making another list or giving yourself one more assignment. It's about noticing those small moments that make you smile—the morning walk, the favorite mug, the meal you know by heart, the podcast you're listening to right now.
Sometimes the greatest habit isn't creating something new, it's appreciating what you've already built.
As you move through your week, I hope you'll catch yourself thinking, "I love that I do this." And when you do...just enjoy it. No need to do anything more.
xoxo

226: How to Stay Motivated and Keep Walking—Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
How do your walks change with the seasons?
In this week's episode, we're talking about something that goes far beyond getting your steps in. We're exploring our relationship with walking—how it supports our bodies, our minds, our independence, and even how we experience the changing seasons.
You'll hear practical ideas for making your fall walks more enjoyable, including:
Simple ways to stay comfortable and safe as the weather changes
Why your mindset matters just as much as your mileage
How planning, tracking, and celebrating your walks can help you stay consistent
Whether you're someone who walks every day or someone who doesn't consider yourself "a walker," this episode is really about finding movement that supports the life you want to live—today and for years to come.
Remember, every walk counts. Five minutes or fifty. Around the neighborhood, at the park, on the treadmill, or even through the mall. Every step is an investment in your energy, your sleep, your heart, your mind, and your future.

225: A Thanksgiving Loving-Kindness Meditation—From Myself to All Beings
In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we’re making space for loving-kindness. ❤️
This guided meditation invites you to extend wishes of kindness, safety, peace, and ease to yourself, the people you love, those you encounter in everyday life, and eventually, the wider world.
We’ll explore how loving-kindness can complement gratitude, help calm a busy mind, and offer a little comfort when life feels challenging.
You can return to this practice whenever you need a moment of calm, a little reassurance, or help letting go of worries before sleep.
And if you’re joining us outside of Canadian Thanksgiving, this is a beautiful practice to return to any time of year.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with loving-kindness, for yourself and for those around you.
xoxo
