There is something about January that makes us pause. The holidays come and go, and even the joy leaves a small reminder that we may have slipped into old habits without noticing. When Harold talks about the 10 day green juice challenge, he is not really talking about juice. He is talking about the moment a person decides they want to feel different.

In the episode, he describes how much of the challenge happens before the first sip of green juice. Preparing your kitchen, cleaning your produce, batch juicing for the next day. These small steps create momentum in a season where many people feel stuck.

He also talks about the first three days, the part no one posts about online. The restless moments, the hunger, the temptation to quit. Hearing someone name those experiences makes them feel less like personal failures and more like a normal part of beginning again.
​
The most meaningful part of the conversation is not the weight people may lose. It is the moment someone realizes they kept a promise to themselves. That shift does not come from juice. It comes from discipline and the quiet belief that you can start over at any time.
If you are joining the January 9 challenge, this episode will help you prepare and feel supported as you begin. Real change always starts with one simple decision.

​Some seasons do not feel like a celebration. They feel like a test.

In this episode of the Good Living Now Podcast, Harold sits down with Rev. Dr. Casey Kimbro to talk about grief during the holidays. Not the kind of grief that fits neatly into a quote, but the quiet kind that sits at the edge of the table where someone used to be.

Dr. Kimbro describes grief as a kind of sickness of the soul. Not in a shameful way, but as a way to name how disoriented life can feel when someone you love is no longer here. You may withdraw, move through the day on low energy, or feel strangely disconnected from the joy everyone else seems to be posting online.

One moment in their conversation stays with you. He talks about “living forward.” After the loss of his wife, there came a day when he realized that moving toward joy again did not dishonor her. It was not forgetting. It was a way of honoring the life they shared by choosing to keep living his own.
The tools he shares are simple, almost ordinary. A daily check in each morning to ask, “What am I feeling and what do I need today.” A short walk. A familiar psalm spoken out loud. A page in a journal that does not need to impress anyone. Remembering past successes and the times you thought you would not make it, yet somehow did.

If you are carrying loss into this holiday season, you do not have to map out the next three years. It is enough to take today in smaller pieces. Hour by hour. Conversation by conversation. Breath by breath.

During the holidays, most of us gather around tables filled with food, tradition, and family stories that come out only once a year. These moments can be warm and grounding, but they can also come with the old pressure to drink, to indulge, or to “go along with the holiday mood.”
Harold introduces something different in this episode: a drink that lets you stay present and still enjoy the moment.
His blueberry mimosa is simple. Fresh oranges, a handful of blueberries, sparkling water, and a touch of natural sweetness. What makes it stand out is not just the flavor but the intention behind it. It is a drink designed for people who want the celebration without the fog, the clarity without the social pressure, and the taste without compromising how they feel the next morning.
There is something grounding about watching fruit being juiced, watching colors come together, and seeing a drink created from ingredients that still look and feel alive. It reminds you that small choices can support the kind of life you’re trying to build. For some, that life includes alcohol. For others, it does not. But everyone deserves an option that feels special.
The real takeaway from this video is simple: you can honor your body and still participate in the joy of the season. You can lift a glass without losing yourself. And you can choose what aligns with your values without judging anyone else’s path.
Below are the ingredients from the episode if you want to make it at home.
Ingredients:
8 oranges, juiced
2 cups blueberries
1 cup sparkling water, or more to taste
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste

Most people talk about aging as if it’s a slow decline, but Harold Leffall believes it’s an opportunity to rise.

At 58, he’s learned that longevity isn’t built in the gym or a supplement bottle. It’s built in daily choices: what you eat, how you think, and what you feed your faith with.

In this episode, Harold shares his simple approach to aging well: a colorful, nutrient-rich kale salad that supports strength, energy, and vitality. He reminds us that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring, you just have to season your life (and your food) with intention.

It’s never too late to change your story. Start with one meal that fuels you.

Most people think the cleanse ends when the last glass of juice is gone. But the truth is, the real work begins the next day.
After ten days of green juice, your body has rested, reset, and released. What you eat next can either support that renewal, or undo it.
Harold Leffall shares that the first forty-eight hours after a juice cleanse are all about ease: fruit bowls, raw salads, and light soups that wake your digestion up gently. It’s a return to nourishment, not deprivation.

He also reminds us to keep at least one green juice a day as a grounding habit, something that keeps energy up and cravings low.
And if you want to go deeper, Harold introduces ParaDefense, a gentle herbal blend designed to support the body’s natural cleansing process. It’s part of a quarterly rhythm he calls “staying ready”, the idea that health isn’t an event, it’s a lifestyle.
