Most women don’t start their wellness journey because they love themselves — they start because they hate where they are. And while that spark of discomfort can ignite change, it won’t sustain it. If your self-care is fueled by shame, burnout is inevitable. In this episode of Practically Possible, we reframe the foundation of wellness. You’ll learn: Why self-hatred doesn’t work and how psychology + neuroscience show a better way. Where to start with nutrition, movement, and habit stacking — without overwhelm. How to move from reactive to proactive so you stop waiting for burnout to make a change. The power of identity shifts — and how every action becomes a vote for who you’re becoming. How to build momentum that lasts — through consistency, not perfection. Friend, this isn’t about punishing your body into change. It’s about partnering with yourself to build a lifestyle of energy, vitality, and confidence. Because when self-care flows from self-respect, momentum becomes inevitable.   Register now for the next Aligned & Unstoppable GLOW UP challenge beginning on January 11th, 2026 https://linktr.ee/laceybyrd

What does it really mean to be free? In this episode of Practically Possible, we’re diving deep into forgiveness, freedom, and what it actually looks like to live fully in the present. You’ll discover: Why forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past — it’s about releasing yourself from its grip. The six dimensions of freedom — mental, emotional, relational, spiritual, physical, and financial — and how to step out of fear and into alignment in each. How positive psychology shows us the keys to experiencing freedom in the past (gratitude + forgiveness), the present (savoring + mindfulness), and the future (hope + optimism). Practical ways to anchor yourself in today — through rhythms, micro-choices, and reflection — so freedom isn’t just a concept, it’s a lived reality. Because freedom isn’t someday, and it isn’t about chasing more.It’s about releasing what no longer serves you, forgiving what’s behind you, and fully inhabiting the moment you’re in.   Join the Aligned & Unstoppable GLOW UP! https://linktr.ee/laceybyrd
