    Your Spark Action Steps This Week

    Choose one non-fitness lifestyle habit to focus on this week:

    1️⃣ Sleep Ritual → Commit to a lights-out time 3 nights this week, aiming for 7–8 hours of quality sleep. Your bones repair most during deep rest.

    2️⃣ Stress Reset → Add one mini-reset every day—whether it’s a breathing exercise, journaling, or stepping outside barefoot for 5 minutes. Lower cortisol = stronger bones.

    3️⃣ Healthy Swap → Replace one daily soda, sugary latte, or nightly glass of wine with sparkling water, bone broth, or herbal tea. That single swap protects your calcium balance.

    Don’t try to change everything at once. Pick the one that feels easiest and repeat it daily. Small lifestyle tweaks, practiced consistently, are what build bones that last—and the confidence to carry them proudly into the next decade.

  • When Love Finds You - Love Notes
    Sep 20 2025
    Love Notes – Episode 2: When Love Finds You

    Welcome to Love Notes — your Friday night ritual in The Passion Zone. I’m Allie Theiss, your guide through poems, dedications, reflections, and sparks of intimacy.

    I created Love Notes — both live and as a recorded podcast — because the world needs more love. Everywhere we turn, from the news to social media, we’re bombarded by chaos and heartbreak. This show is my way of shifting the energy — of creating space to invite love in, remember what it feels like, and remind each other that connection still matters.

    NO SHOW SEPTEMBER 26th!

    Your Spark Action Steps This Week

    Choose one strength-building move to add into your week. Keep it simple and consistent:

    1️⃣ Daily Squats – 10 squats a day, using just your bodyweight. Builds hip and thigh strength while loading your bones.

    2️⃣ Stair Climbing – Skip the elevator once a day. Stairs are one of the best natural bone-strengtheners out there.

    3️⃣ Resistance Band Rows – Anchor a band to a doorknob, pull back, and squeeze your shoulder blades. This strengthens posture muscles and supports your spine.

    💡 Don’t overthink it. Pick one, commit to it, and repeat. Every rep is a deposit in your bone health bank account—and every deposit builds not just stronger bones, but a stronger, more confident you.

    Your Spark Action Steps This Week

    Choose one bone-friendly food swap to try this week:

    1️⃣ Snack swap: Instead of pretzels or chips, reach for a handful of almonds or pumpkin seeds → adds magnesium and protein.

    2️⃣ Drink swap: Replace soda with a fortified almond, soy, or oat milk → provides calcium + vitamin D.

    3️⃣ Dinner swap: Add leafy greens like kale, bok choy, or collard greens to your plate → delivers calcium and vitamin K2.

    💡 Don’t try to overhaul everything at once. Pick one swap, do it daily, and let it become second nature. Small, steady choices are what protect your bones—and your freedom—for the long haul.

    ✨ Your Spark Action Step This Week

    Choose one simple step to put into action this week:

    1️⃣ Add one calcium + magnesium-rich food to your meals. Almonds, kale, chia seeds, or salmon with bones are easy wins.

    2️⃣ Do one weight-bearing movement three times this week. That could be a 15-minute walk, a dance in your kitchen, or light weights.

    3️⃣ Set a bedtime routine to improve sleep. Even 15 minutes earlier with a no-screens wind-down can boost bone repair.

    💡 Pick one, commit, and repeat. Your future self will thank you every single time you move with ease and strength.

    💡 Spark Action Step

    Choose one self-care ritual to carry into September.

    Here are three ideas to try:

    1. Swap to a silk pillowcase → protects hair + feels luxurious.
    2. Add a scalp massage during shampoo to improve circulation and reduce stress.
    3. Make a facial oil blend part of your bedtime routine → hydrates skin + creates a calming wind-down ritual.

    💡 Pick just one. Small, consistent rituals become anchors of self-love and empowerment.”

    Your Spark Action Step This Week


    Spark Action Step

    Choose ONE daily nail-strengthening ritual this week.

    Here are some ideas:

    1. Massage your cuticles with almond or jojoba oil before bed.
    2. Add a scoop of collagen powder to your morning smoothie.
    3. Switch from acetone remover to a gentler formula.
    4. Keep your nails short and file them every few days instead of letting them snag.

    Remember: one consistent action beats an overwhelming overhaul every time. Your nails will thank you in 6–8 weeks when you start seeing stronger growth.”
