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.
