  • Showing Up When You Feel “Meh”
    Jan 26 2026

    Showing Up When You Feel “Meh”

    In this episode of Coffee with M and J, Mandy and Jaime show up exactly as they are - tired, a little run-down, and feeling “meh.” Instead of pushing through with forced positivity, they have an honest, relatable conversation about what it really looks like to keep showing up for yourself when you’re not at your best.

    From physical exhaustion and decision fatigue to seasonal gloom and emotional burnout, this episode explores the reality of adulthood: sometimes you’re just tired. But life doesn’t pause, and neither do your goals. Mandy and Jaime talk through practical ways to move forward anyway - without hustle culture, perfection, or pressure.

    With humor, vulnerability, inside jokes (yes, meep), and grounded wisdom, this episode invites you to take small action steps, recognize your patterns, and gently reconnect with possibility - even on your most “blah” days.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder that showing up imperfectly still counts.


    Here are the key takeaways from the video:

    • Acknowledge feeling "blah" It is okay to feel "blah," or tired, scared, sad, overwhelmed, or generally burnt out and still show up.
    • Take action despite exhaustion If you never show up because you are tired, you will never get anything done. Sometimes you have to do things even when you are tired, scared, afraid, alone, exhausted, or with limited resources.
    • Use action to overcome "meh" feelings The action of starting something is important when you are feeling "meh." You have to identify your patterns (e.g., shutting down, scrolling on social media) and go against them by choosing action. As the law of physics states, an item in motion stays in motion.
    • Start with small, easy tasks Creating a to-do list, even of easy, mundane tasks, can get you into action mode. Completing small tasks can lead to bigger actions.
    • Leverage mindfulness tools Using mindfulness tools, such as deep cleansing breaths or having an inspirational conversation, helps when you feel exhausted.
    • Visualize your perfect day Acknowledging that you are in a "blah" state allows you to move forward. You can spend five minutes setting a timer and letting yourself sit in the vision of your perfect day, focusing on the five senses.

  • How are you moving the needle forward in your life?
    Jan 19 2026

    How are you moving the needle forward in your life?

    This conversation isn’t about big, flashy milestones or outward wins. It’s about the quiet, often invisible steps - the ones no one claps for, but that change everything. From waking up earlier for no external reason, to investing in yourself before you feel “ready,” Jaime and Mandy unpack how waiting for perfect timing keeps us stuck in a loop of someday.

    They explore the difference between dreaming and doing, why so many of us delay action while waiting for one big thing to happen, and how small, intentional steps - taken even while scared - are what actually create momentum.

    If you’ve been telling yourself “once this happens, then I’ll start,” this episode is your gentle (and honest) nudge to stop waiting and start moving.


    Key Takeaways

    • Move the needle forward in silence
      The personal growth work you’re doing—waking up earlier, drinking more water, changing your habits—may not be visible to anyone else. That doesn’t make it insignificant. These quiet shifts are foundational steps toward your bigger vision.
    • Stop waiting for the perfect moment
      The “right time” will never feel fully ready, organized, or complete. Waiting for perfect only delays progress and keeps opportunities out of reach.
    • Be a doer, not just a dreamer
      Dreams become real through action. Break your vision into doable steps. Even small actions—a conversation, a text, buying a calendar—count as forward movement.
    • Ask yourself the right daily question
      Set a daily reminder to ask: “How will I move the needle forward today?”
      At the end of the day, reflect: “How did I move the needle forward today?” Awareness creates momentum.
    • Let go of the “how”
      Focusing on how everything will work out often stalls progress. Instead, commit the goal to your calendar and consider where your life will be a year from now—whether you move forward or stay still. Action creates clarity.

  • Quitters Day Has Passed - Now What?
    Jan 12 2026

    We’re only a couple of weeks into the new year and we’ve already passed National Quitters Day, the point when nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned. So what actually happens between the excitement of January 1st and the quiet quitting that follows?

    In this episode of Coffee with M and J, we talk honestly about why people quit, what’s really happening in the brain when we try to change, and why adjusting your goal is not the same as giving up. We explore the difference between resolutions and systems, the power of meaningful challenges, and how pushing yourself physically, mentally, or spiritually can reignite confidence and momentum.

    We also share how each of us has started 2026 very differently, why both approaches are valid, and why celebrating wins (even small ones) matters more than most high achievers want to admit.

    Whether you’re still going strong, hanging on by a thread, or already fell off and think it’s “too late,” this conversation is your reminder that you don’t need a perfect start, you just need to get back on the boat.

    Key Takeaways

    • National Quitters Day is real - but being part of the 80% is not a life sentence. Adjusting your goal is often the breakthrough.
    • Your brain resists change until new neural pathways are built. Quitting early means stopping right before real change begins.
    • Consistency beats intensity. Walking instead of running still moves you forward.
    • Meaning matters. If your goal doesn’t connect to your “why,” it won’t stick.
    • You don’t need a fresh start date. Monday, January 1st, or “next month” are optional. Starting now is not.
    • Bigger doesn’t mean harder for everyone. A challenge is personal - what stretches you may not stretch someone else.
    • Physical challenges can unlock mental confidence, even if pushing physically feels unfamiliar.
    • High achievers often skip celebrating wins and learning to pause and acknowledge progress can be transformational.
    • Resolutions fade; systems last. Build something that carries you through the month and into the year.
    • You can’t have the ‘Bon Voyage’ moment unless you get on the boat. The start is the hardest part and the most important.
