January is named after Janus, the Roman god with two heads - one looking backward to the past year and one looking forward to the new year.
On January 1, 1892, Ellis Island opened, allowing nearly 20 million immigrants to enter the United States. It's estimated that 40% of all Americans have at least one ancestor who came through Ellis Island.
The birthstone for January is garnet, with rich red garnets being the most valuable.
Many famous people were born in January, including Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, Oprah Winfrey, and Jeff Bezos.

Imagine you're watching a baby learn to walk. It's a journey full of tiny steps, falls, and lots of practice. Here’s the secret: 'baby steps'. Yes, that’s it!
A baby starts by crawling, then leans on things, tries to stand, falls, and tries again. This process can take anywhere from 9 to 18 months, but every attempt makes those little legs stronger. Before they walk on their own, babies go through several stages like crawling, pulling up to stand, and walking with support.
So, what does "baby steps" mean? It means taking small steps every day. And here’s the magic part: every single attempt is a success because it makes you stronger and wiser. Just like the baby’s legs get stronger with each try, your body gets stronger with every move you make towards fitness.
You see, your body is like a smart machine with many different systems or "intelligences" that work together. When you decide to get fit, these internal intelligences kick in to help you achieve your goal.
The Formula for Success
To become the strongest and sexiest version of yourself, you need two things: 'baby steps' and 'consistency'. Take small steps every day, and keep doing it. That’s the secret. If you miss a day, start over the next day.. Missed a week? Start the next week.

I've been thinking a lot about something important - not the usual fitness or workout stuff I usually talk about, but something deeper. Something about what's happening INSIDE our minds.
I've been collecting stories and experiences from so many incredible people - in our Facebook group, from responses of our newsletters, and even from YouTube conversations. At first, the information was overwhelming (like trying to drink from a fire hose! 😂), but then I found this amazing website called NotebookLM.
NotebookLM took ALL my jumbled notes and transformed them into this super cool podcast. The voices aren't real people, but the stories and lessons? 100% authentic. It's like a warm hug for your brain.
My biggest hope is that something in this podcast makes you feel SEEN. Maybe it'll help you understand yourself a little better, or just make you go "Wow, I'm not alone in feeling this way."
If you listen and think, "Hey, something's missing!" - please tell me. I want to keep learning and growing, just like you.
