The October Theory + Our BIG Announcement 📣
I’ve been reading about the “October Theory” (also referred to as the Winter Arc Challenge) the last few weeks. Have you heard about it? I hadn’t either until now!
The October Theory encourages you to harness the final 90 days of the year to celebrate your achievements and set actionable steps toward fulfilling your yearly goals before December’s end.
Traditionally, January is viewed as the time to set new goals, but sometimes this can lead to feeling defeated as you reflect on the goals you didn’t achieve in the previous year.
But, if you reflect on the current year now and finish strong, you can feel confident heading into 2025.
There are two ironies of my learning about this theory:
#1: Given that it’s football season, I’ve been noticing the intense and high-level energy in the last few minutes of the games – which is a great metaphor for your yearly goals. Consider that you are in the 4th quarter and time is short for your chance to win. Kick up the intensity and finish strong!
#2: We’ve been teasing the last few weeks about a new product announcement. It turns out the timing couldn’t be better!
We’re excited to announce our Yearly By Design™ Planner that will help you craft your goals, plan your days, and create learning habits.
To guide your own October Theory, we have a free November | December download so you can be sure to finish the year strong with a 2024 win!

This week we talk with Pharmacist Josie Phillips-Ross and dive into the transformative power of functional medicine and its potential to revolutionize pharmacy practice.
That’s right – we said revolutionize!
Listen in to discover how addressing root causes, rather than just symptoms, is changing the way pharmacists approach patient care.
