Life Simplified: Peeling Back the Hustle Mentality

Letting go of “go hard or go home” and choosing the soft life.

The hustle-and-bustle culture no longer holds the same appeal once you’ve reached a certain age or gained awareness, experience, and exposure. This way of life was once a shiny new sticker that we women would wear proudly as if it were a badge of honor. Like a weathered sticker, it still sticks, but the shine has faded, the edges are no longer sharp, and the inner layers are exposed. And now, the darn thing is even harder to remove because it’s been embedded in us (ugh)! So, here we are in January 2026, exhausted and mentally preparing to do the work to unstick the sticker that once was a big part of our identity.​

If you’ve ever tried removing a sticker from a hard surface, you know how much work it takes. This work requires tools, time, patience, perseverance, and something to soften the adhesive so it can be safely removed. In 2026, we hope to provide you with the tools needed to give you a clean, renewed slate that will soften your approach to wellness and self-care and build a solid foundation of peace, balance, and strength.​

In 2025, FIT & NU® quietly applied everything required to help others remove their stickers so they could finally see the surface underneath and decide what truly belongs there. We kicked off the year by giving back members their autonomy to access workouts and resources on their time, not ours. Then, we led a series of New Beginnings diabetes support programs to provide guidance and support for managing the condition. Before that, we kicked off our signature Body Boss Up Challenge for women who are DTM (doing the most) and seeking balance. Lastly, the revival of our personal training services shined as numerous new and old clients regained their strength, mobility, and confidence. Oh yeah, and we hoped to launch our latest FIT Over 40 diabetes self-management program, which is part of the “something that softens the adhesive,” but that layer is still loosening, so we’re not quite ready to peel it back just yet.​

In 2026, we are trading “go harder” for “go gentler—but stay consistent.” This year’s focus is on reconditioning and recalibrating your mind, body, spirit, and habits so that wellness feels simple, sustainable, and true to who you are now.​

Here’s what we’re working on for you:

• A Soft Girl Retreat abroad

  • A slow, nourishing escape designed for women who are ready to rest, receive, and reset—not perform. Think unhurried mornings, gentle movement, mindful excursions, and space to breathe, journal, and reconnect with yourself.​

• More one-on-one virtual support

  • Personalized coaching that meets you where you are, in your real life. We’ll focus on simplifying your routines, shifting your relationship with food and movement, and building habits that feel doable, not draining.​

• Our FIT Over 40 DSMES program

  • A guided experience for women over 40 living with or at risk for diabetes, centered on education, support, and small, powerful changes. This is one of our key “adhesive softeners” to help you unstick from old patterns and protect your long-term health.​

Before we peel back the next layer together, we’d love to hear from you. Would you take a few minutes to complete our feedback survey and tell us what you need most from FIT & NU® in 2026?​
