Black Women’s Wellness: Inspiring Mental, Physical, and Social Health – Seasonal Sister Podcast

How to Build Healthy Habits That Last: The A–Z of Wellness Finale

Episode Notes

Healthy habits, behavior change, and sustainable wellness take center stage in this final episode of the A–Z of Wellness Series. Janice Saunders wraps up the series with the letter Z, encouraging listeners to stop living a "zombified" life and begin zeroing in on the habits that support a long, healthy, and vibrant future.

Drawing from her personal wellness journey, Janice shares how walking became her moving meditation through infertility treatments, motherhood, divorce, career transitions, the pandemic, and midlife health changes. She explores the science of behavior change, the importance of preventative healthcare, and practical ways to build consistency through small daily actions.

If you've ever struggled to maintain healthy habits, felt overwhelmed by wellness trends, or wondered where to start, this episode offers a simple reminder: wellness doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful habit is putting one foot in front of the other.
