Can you believe we’re already approaching the end of 2024?

If you’re anything like us, this time of year brings a mix of emotions—gratitude for the wins, clarity from the lessons, and excitement for what’s next. But how often do we truly take the time to reflect, celebrate, and carry those insights forward with intention?

In this episode of WTF: Where’s the Fun?, Mel and I are hitting pause to do exactly that—celebrating the highs, learning from the lows, and sharing our biggest takeaways that are shaping how we step into 2025.

Here’s what we dive into:

Be honest—does the idea of working out ever feel more like a punishment than a joy?

You’re not alone. So many of us have been conditioned to see movement as something we have to do, rather than something we get to do. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be that way.

What if working out wasn’t a chore but a chance to play? 🎉

This week on WTF: Where’s the FUN?, we’re thrilled to host Janet Omstead— board-certified health coach, behaviour change expert, and author of The Play Book: How to Get in the Habit of Good Health.

✨ How to create simple, playful habits that make movement easy and enjoyable.
✨ Practical tips like taking “play breaks” and finding micro-moments to move.
✨ The magic of RED January, a global movement helping you stay active, boost your mood, and feel connected this winter.

Janet’s insights will inspire you to reimagine movement as something energizing, easy, and FUN—no matter how busy life gets. Whether it’s dancing in the kitchen, playing with your kids, or finding moments of joy on a walk, you’ll leave ready to create playful habits that truly stick.
