Introducing Andrea Rogers: Founder, Author, and Inspiration
In this week’s episode, I had the privilege of welcoming Andrea Rogers, founder of the global fitness brand Extend Barre and author of the powerful new book, Small Moves, Big Life. Having had the privilege of reading her book before its release, I was eager to share not just the strategies Andrea lays out, but also the real, relatable life lessons from her own journey. Like many listeners, I’ve often wrestled with the challenge of “doing it all,” and so Andrea’s simple, actionable approach to progress felt like a breath of fresh air.
The Do the Thing Method: Simple but Powerful
Andrea’s philosophy, which she calls the “Do the Thing” method, is rooted in the idea that meaningful transformation does not require grand gestures or complete overhauls. Instead, she champions the practice of taking small, non-negotiable actions every single day. As a former dancer myself, I immediately connected with Andrea’s belief in consistency. Dance taught both of us the value of grit, perseverance, and incremental improvement, a lesson Andrea has now distilled into a system that anyone can use.
Her daily practice is this: each morning, write down three non-negotiable things you will accomplish before the day is over. These don’t have to be momentous—they can be anything from finishing a chapter of a book, to sending that email you’ve been putting off, or simply returning those Amazon boxes that have been haunting your hallway. The secret is in the follow-through: by making a commitment and honoring it, you build momentum and, crucially, self-trust.
Navigating Setbacks and Overcoming Overwhelm
Andrea and I spent time discussing the “smoke and mirrors” of social media—the tendency to reduce someone’s success to luck, or assume their journey was easy. In reality, as Andrea shared, her life has been marked by both stunning opportunities and deep challenges. She emphasized that the habits she now teaches weren’t born of a desire to self-optimize, but out of necessity: she needed tools to simply cope, to keep going for herself and her kids during dark times.
For those wrestling with burnout, new beginnings, or “shiny object syndrome,” her recommendation is to stop accumulating knowledge for its own sake and focus on taking action. Consumption alone (books, podcasts, webinars) won’t set your dreams in motion, but action will.
Balancing Motherhood, Ambition, and Self-Care
One of the most resonant parts of our conversation centered on mom guilt and the unique balancing act faced by entrepreneurial mothers. Andrea, a single mom of over a decade, gets the critical comments and the doubts, but she’s learned to measure her success by her relationship with her children and the example she sets. Being fully present with her girls when she is home, and transparent with them about the work she does, are two practices that ground her.
For any parent who travels or juggles multiple roles, Andrea reminds us to let go of perfection and focus on love and presence over guilt. Her daughters’ pride in her journey (like bringing them to her New York book launch) is testament to the long-term value of following your passion.
The Power of Movement and Non-Negotiable Self-Care
Another cornerstone of Andrea’s system is the non-negotiable nature of physical movement. She doesn’t insist on hours at the gym, sometimes it’s just 10 minutes of intentional exercise, a walk outdoors, or a quick stretch. The key is discipline: if you show up for yourself in these small ways, that discipline ripples into other areas, from work to family to personal fulfillment.
Andrea even created a series of free 10-minute workouts to accompany her book, eliminating any excuses and making movement truly accessible.
Breathwork, Resilience, and the Long Game
Andrea shared how breathwork became an anchor during the hardest periods of her life. She practices it daily (and teaches various techniques in her book), underscoring how these “small moves” build our resilience for when we inevitably face life’s curveballs.
She also reveals the long, iterative process behind publishing her book. It’s a reminder that success is rarely immediate, and that persistence pays off.
Final Thoughts
The wisdom Andrea Rogers offers, backed by her lived experience, reminds us that it’s not about grand transformations, but about showing up for ourselves with small, consistent actions every day. Whether it’s through movement, focused intentions, or being present with those we love, the path to a big life begins with simple, repeatable steps.
If you’re looking for concrete tools to move through overwhelm, reclaim your energy, or simply craft more meaning in your days, I encourage you to check out Andrea’s book Small Moves, Big Life and follow her journey. And, most importantly, just do the thing. Your future self will thank you.
Amberly Lago [00:00:01]: Thank you for tuning in to the Amberly Lago show. I am so excited about today’s guest. She is such an inspiration for me. She’s the founder of Extend Bar. She has a new book coming out that I have had the honor of reading. It’s so, so good. It’s called Small Moves, Big Life. Andrea Rogers is here. Amberly Lago [00:00:24]: She’s taken. Oh, my goodness. So, so many of what? Of us. Like, we complicate things. We don’t have the clarity, and we just want to have energy and confidence and that clarity. And so she’s here today to help us with that. She’s got a very simple yet powerful philosophy, do the thing method which can change your life. I can’t wait for her to share more about that. Amberly Lago [00:00:48]: Her approach is small but consistent, non negotiable actions that create meaningful transformation over time. Y’, all, you’re gonna love the wisdom that she brings. You’re gonna love her book. And I know this conversation will inspire you to see that sometimes in the tiniest moves are what unlock biggest breakthroughs. So, Andrea, you are in the middle of it right now. Thank you for taking the time to come and share your wisdom and your heart with us here on the show. Andrea Rogers [00:01:18]: Well, I’m so appreciative of being here and, you know, I adore you and I’m a big fan of yours, so I am so thankful to have this opportunity to chat today with you. Amberly Lago [00:01:26]: Well, you know, from the moment I met you, I think our friend. Did our friend Doug introduce us originally? Andrea Rogers [00:01:32]: Did Doug introduce us? I think so. I think that’s how we originally met. Amberly Lago [00:01:36]: I think so. And you were in this area and we have yet to see each other in person only, I know only on zoom calls and through texting and. And all that. But I can’t wait to see you in person to be at your book signing. And I felt an instant connection when I met you. But then when I read your book, I’m like, oh, my goodness. No wonder, because you were once a dancer, as I was. And I think dancing teaches so much about grit, about consistency, about working hard for what you want. Amberly Lago [00:02:12]: If you go and follow, go follow Andrea right now on Instagram and I’ll put all the links and in the so in social media, her website and the book, everything in the notes for you. So if you’re out on the jog, you can see those. But to look at you and you, all the success that you have achieved, some people go, oh, well, she’s lucky. Or must be easy for her. Can you Take us back. Because I really like to share the struggles to success, too. Kind of like, what was the turning point for you that shifted everything to get you to where you are today? Andrea Rogers [00:02:50]: Yes, I think it’s very true that it is very easy to look at someone in a position that you admire, respect, or long to be in and go, well, that was easy. The path was cleared, the road was smooth, and it was anything but for most people. I think there’s always a story behind, you know, the. The accomplishments and where you get. And. And I still have a long way to go, girl. So, so many. So many accomplishments I want to achieve. Andrea Rogers [00:03:15]: But, um, you know, I think the biggest thing is. Oh, I’m so sorry. I forgot to put Chetty in his crate. Amberly Lago [00:03:21]: Oh, that’s okay. Hey, we keep it real here, okay? Andrea Rogers [00:03:25]: I always put him in this crate. Amberly Lago [00:03:27]: They all know about Nugget and. Andrea Rogers [00:03:29]: Okay. Sorry about that, guys. I have construction workers here at the same time as I have the dog. You know, this is real life. But. But as I was saying, I think the biggest thing is, is being able to be honest that there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors when you’re looking at people from the Instagram or social media filter. And for me, there were a lot of great wins and great opportunities presented, but there were also a lot of failures and hard, challenging times that eventually led me to create these habits that helped me to crawl out of those very challenging, dark times. And it wasn’t because I said, oh, Andrea, let’s write a book and figure out seven daily practices that are going to supercharge your energy, productivity, and happiness. Andrea Rogers [00:04:12]: It wasn’t that. It was simply like, Andrea, you got to find out how to actually push the grocery cart through the store without, you know, your knees buckling. And you’re going to have to get up and take the kids to school today, and you’re going to have to figure out how to get through this very, very hard time that you never thought you’d be in. And so it was just one little thing at a time that I would do that would make me feel good. One little. One little strategy, one little practice. And that made me feel good that day. Let’s do it again tomorrow. Andrea Rogers [00:04:38]: And these little things just started to add up. And then over time, it became my way. It became my way of life. It became my foundation. It also became something that I shared with my circle, with my best, closest, dearest friends, my clients, my members across the globe. And I started to feel these seven practices come into a place where I thought, well, this is something. This is actually really working for a lot of women all over the world, and this needs to be written down. So I put it into a workshop first, and then I decided to put it into a book. Andrea Rogers [00:05:09]: So these are things that have just, over the years, have helped me to maintain my sanity, my direction, my calm, my energy, and my focus, both in my personal life, my career, and when I’m wearing my mom hat as well. Amberly Lago [00:05:25]: Well, thank you for bringing that up, because I just. So I have a group chat for my mastermind, ladies, and it’s. You know, we’re constantly. Andrea Rogers [00:05:35]: All. Amberly Lago [00:05:35]: All day, all night, sometimes people are putting things in the chat and chat, and it’s a good way for us to support each other. Andrea Rogers [00:05:41]: Yes. Amberly Lago [00:05:42]: And I think your book is coming at exactly the right time because there are women who are doing new and scary things, and they’re having a lot of, like, they’re. They’re freaking out because they’re like, how do I do it all? How do I, you know. You know, manage being a mom? And you were. You were a single mom, I think. Are you still? Andrea Rogers [00:06:04]: I am. Yes. Amberly Lago [00:06:05]: I am single mom for 10 years. And so I built a business being a single mom. But no matter if you’re single mom or you’re married, I mean, single mom is a whole other level of, like, you got to get stuff done. But what would you say to somebody who is, like, challenged with. They’re starting to be on that brink of burnout, and they want to do these new things and go after their dream, but they’re like, I don’t know how to balance between my mental and physical health and go after those things. What is the number one? Like, a little advice you could give them? Andrea Rogers [00:06:41]: Yes. I think that comes down to my do the thing strategy, Amberly. So for me, it was about getting more clear with my priorities. Fewer, clearer priorities, like doing the things during the day that were actually going to move the needle in my life. Not just taking a box, not just adding on to the to do list, not just being productive to be productive for production’s sake. Like, it. It was actually real productivity, and I had to focus and say no to certain things. You know, like, I had to get really clear with. Andrea Rogers [00:07:17]: At the end of the day, when I put my head on the pillow at night, what am I going to feel a sense of accomplishment and pride over doing today? And sometimes that was a very big thing. Sometimes it required me to spend, you know, two or three hours writing. Right. Or sometimes it was me picking up A phone call and finally making that call to somebody that you just keep putting off. Or, or sometimes it was very. Something very simple like finally returning the boxes to Amazon that had been sitting there for the last week, that every time I passed the box, I felt a sense of defeat. So I found those things every day and in the morning, that’s what I do. I do my do the thing strategy. Andrea Rogers [00:07:48]: I find three non negotiable things that I’m going to do every single day. It doesn’t require me to overhaul my life. It doesn’t require me to go out and buy a new app or some gadget. It just requires you to sit down with a pen and paper and write down three things that you’re going to do that day that no matter what, without excuses, you are going to do to your fullest extent of effort. And that is going to help you to feel that sense of accomplishment. And when you feel that sense of accomplishment and you move the needle, even the littlest inch of a move, right, when you move it just a teeny tiny bit, there’s that moment where you go, okay, that felt good. At a girl flexible, it’s possible I’m doing it like I’m moving in the right direction. I was just talking with a friend of mine who felt. Andrea Rogers [00:08:33]: Who feels very stuck right now in her job and. And I was like, but look what you did today. You moved the needle. And she’s like, well, it doesn’t feel like it. I’m like, but you did because you did something that you’re moving towards the direction you want to go. You’re not staying where you don’t want to be. You’re taking action. And even though you don’t see the fruits of that labor yet, you don’t see the action in its fruition yet, you still are doing it. Andrea Rogers [00:08:54]: You’re moving towards it. And that’s where the pride has to come in. And so those little bits of pride end up being what we call motivation. Right? It happens because you take action. And once you take action, you start to feel motivated and, and it becomes a beautiful cycle where you start to do it again the next day and again the next day. Before you know it, you zoom out and you’re a few weeks into doing these tiny little things that seem minor and then you’re like, wait a minute, I actually, I got a lot done. I’m moving towards this. Amberly Lago [00:09:22]: Yeah, I think oftentimes when somebody’s new, they’re going after their big dream and maybe they’ve had this corporate job or a job, that they’ve always had a side hustle, that they want to be their new thing. And I think sometimes when people get in. In it, there are a lot, like I call shiny object syndrome. Andrea Rogers [00:09:45]: That’s a great analogy. Yes. Amberly Lago [00:09:47]: You know, and it’s like, I feel like people can binge the podcast, they can read all the books and underline things. They can go to all the conferences. But you said something was key. It was like you have. You have a. You have wisdom because you have experience and you’ve taken action. And you said you’ve had failures and challenges, but what that has taught you is you have the wisdom so you can keep moving forward. And I think that’s what a lot of people do, is they just gather all the information and feel overwhelmed. Amberly Lago [00:10:19]: But you’re saying, break it down. And yeah, it seems simple, but it’s possible. And I love that you say once you do those three things, it gives you the motivation. Andrea Rogers [00:10:31]: It does. Amberly Lago [00:10:32]: What is it in you that gives you the discipline to do the thing? Do you think dancing helped you with that? Andrea Rogers [00:10:39]: Yes, I do. I think from. I mean, I asked my mother this as I was writing the book. I asked her quite a few questions, and she’s like, you were just wired that way. She said, from a very young age, you were wired with that energy, with that tenacity, with that determination, with. But I think becoming a dancer and being locked into that, like, really wanting to go after not just dance, but be the best at my craft. I wanted to be the best at my craft, the best I could be. I wanted to be the best that I knew I could be. Andrea Rogers [00:11:04]: And so I had that discipline from a very young age. Started dancing when I was three. I started teaching dance when I was like 12 years old. I look like I was like six, you know, and started teaching dance, and then I started choreographing, and then I got into dancing professionally. And so that whole career, I. I had a lot of, you know, knows to me, right? Like, you didn’t get the job. You didn’t get the. You didn’t make the audition. Andrea Rogers [00:11:26]: I had a lot of no’s, but I also just discovered what hard work meant and physically saw that happen. You know, I was just talking about this with a friend how I would spend hours in my basement practicing turns, right? Because I wanted to land a triple or quad pirouette. And I. I just remember practice. I mean, I would practice and practice and practice and practice and fall and fall and fall and fall and just keep doing it. Until I finally got it. And it didn’t happen overnight. You know, it took months and months and months of practice. Andrea Rogers [00:11:53]: And so when you’re able to physically do something, whether it’s a sport or a dance or anything along those lines, and you see the effort put in physically, and then you see the output and you’re like, okay. And then you see that happen, something you work towards it is. It’s a great parallel for life, right? When you put in the effort in a relationship, in parenting, in work, in your career, whatever it is that you want to accomplish, you put in that effort and you’ll see it. But as you said, Amberly, what I’ve seen with all of the people and clients that I’m working with is everybody freezes because they’re collecting data. Like you said, they’re collecting motivation, they’re collecting information, they’re collecting it all. And they’re like, okay. And then you just stop because you’re like, well, this is so much. It’s so overwhelming. Andrea Rogers [00:12:38]: And I feel like we just need to find that antidote to that hustle culture that do everything, be everything kind of expectation, which is so unrealistic. And just sit down every day and figure out three things that you’re going to do that day that are going to bring you closer towards that goal. Amberly Lago [00:12:54]: Oh, look, I do it every day. Like, I have a new list every day. Andrea Rogers [00:12:59]: I love it. I love it. Amberly Lago [00:13:01]: And I check off and I put at the very top what the most important thing is for me to do. But I also just put this in my group text this morning about. And you know what? I’m going to share your book with my mastermind group because they. It’s more apparent now than ever because they’re doing big things that they really have to do the thing. But like you said, and focus on what’s important, because you’re right. I feel like we collect so much data. I actually put in the group chat. Stop consuming and start creating. Andrea Rogers [00:13:36]: Ah, that is it. That is it. Amberly Lago [00:13:39]: Rolling. Andrea Rogers [00:13:40]: Stop rolling. Like, yes. Amberly Lago [00:13:43]: You know, and so sometimes I think we have to be reminded of that. So I see. I’m amazed by all you do. You run a company, you’ve got, you know, your extend bar, you’ve got two huge platforms, probably more on Instagram, but those are the two that I follow. You are traveling, you’re starting. You’re, like, in the middle. By the time this episode comes out, you will already be on tour for your book. Book signings. Amberly Lago [00:14:07]: All the things. Andrea Rogers [00:14:08]: All the things. Amberly Lago [00:14:10]: What? Like, especially being A mom. Do you take your kids with you? I know there’s a lot of friends and clients that I have, and there’s even people that reach out to me and say, well, don’t you feel guilty for not, you know, your daughter’s not going to get. She’s growing up. She’s going to be gone. Like, trying to put that mom guilt on me. Andrea Rogers [00:14:29]: Oh, boy. Yes. Amberly Lago [00:14:30]: And I’m always like, you know what? I’m setting an example for her. And she’s a little. Andrea Rogers [00:14:34]: You bet. You bet. Amberly Lago [00:14:37]: Do you get that from. Andrea Rogers [00:14:38]: Yes, I get that question quite often. And, and I get some nasty comments, too, sometimes on Instagram. Yeah, not often. I will say very, very few. Very few. Most of the women that I interact with are incredible, incredible supporters. And, and they give me comments of, like, look at you go. Your girls must be so proud. Andrea Rogers [00:14:58]: So that’s most of it. That’s 99 of it. But that 1% tends to stick, doesn’t it? Yes, it’s that 1% that tends to, like, think you start to percolate on that at night, and then you’re like, you know, that doesn’t mean anything, but you know that, oh, wow, you’re on another trip away from your kids, and it’s like, yeah, I’m not sipping a margarita on the beach with my girlfriends. Even if I was, I’m allowed to, right? Like, I’m allowed to do that, but I’m, like, working my butt off, honey, because I’m paying the bills, like, trying to run the show. So, like, you know, I, I, I. I don’t take that to heart. Even though it does stay with me sometimes, I don’t let it sink into my soul. I don’t have a lot of mom guilt. Andrea Rogers [00:15:34]: And I’ll tell you why. Because I am honest with myself in the effort that I am providing to my children. I am a. I’m working my tushy off to be the best mother I can be. I feel like I’m there for them. I show up and I’m present when I’m home. They are so proud of me. They are so motivated by what I’m doing. Andrea Rogers [00:15:53]: And that alone is like, you know, that’s everything to me. And most of the time, they don’t come with me because they’re in school and they have, they have their responsibilities at home. But when we are going for a book launch where I talk to their teachers and we’re taking two days off school for them and they’re going to come with me to New York, City and see what it’s like, because I want them to understand. They know I’ve been working on this book for years. They know how much effort I put into it, and I want them to see it. I want them to see that come to life. I want them to see, you know, the book signing and the billboard in Times Square. I want them to see all of it come together and have that pride and. Andrea Rogers [00:16:27]: And just understand, like, they know that’s why I can’t be at some things and that they know what I’ve done to get there, and I want them to see that. So I tell mothers, and especially my friends as well, you gotta let go of that. You know, you just have to let go of it. You have to, again, zoom out and say, are you doing a great job? Yeah. You’re doing your best? Yes. Are you perfect? No. And nobody is. But if your children feel loved and you’re showing up for them, and that’s all that matters, right? It doesn’t have to be perfection or anybody else’s idea of perfection. Amberly Lago [00:17:00]: Yeah. Well, how old are your kids? Andrea Rogers [00:17:02]: They are 12 and 14. Amberly Lago [00:17:04]: Oh, they are so gorgeous. So I love the post that you did with them when you were looking at your book and you. Andrea Rogers [00:17:12]: That was everything to me. If I was like, if this book doesn’t do anything else, if it just did that, like. And it’s so cute, you know, Lane had friends over the other day, and she was like, did you see my mom’s book? And she’s just, like, talking about it with her friends and pulling me up online. And she, like, it’s just so cute, you know, she’s. She’s just proud of me. They’re both proud of me. And that’s the best feeling in the entire world. Nothing is better than that. Amberly Lago [00:17:39]: It is the best feeling ever. And, you know, the other day I got an email from Ruby, my youngest daughter’s teacher. She was so. Such a sweet email. And it makes you proud as a mom when they say that she’s like, comes in with a smile and is always so kind to everybody and really is, you know, puts her work first. And it’s such a hard work. Andrea Rogers [00:18:03]: How beautiful. Amberly Lago [00:18:04]: But she said, and I listened to your podcast, and I hope to get you. Hope to meet you soon. And I asked Ruby, I was like, your teacher emailed me. She listens to the show. And I was like, oh, gosh, I know. Andrea Rogers [00:18:19]: Think about that. Amberly Lago [00:18:20]: I know. And. But I was just so touched. And Ruby said, oh, yeah, Mom, I told her about you. And she Pulled you up. And that makes me so proud that Ruby is proud to tell her teachers about me. Now I do have to get permission from Ruby. That was just homecoming this weekend. Amberly Lago [00:18:41]: And I had to get permission. I was like, is it okay if I post this? Andrea Rogers [00:18:44]: Same with me. I asked. I have to get permission now, too. I get that. I do. Yes, yes. Everything I post, I have to make sure they’re okay with it, which we should. You know, at this age, they. Andrea Rogers [00:18:53]: They need their personal space and their privacy. And so, yes, yes. Oh, yeah. Amberly Lago [00:18:58]: I got in trouble. I had done something. I’d put something in my story. And right away, re. Text goes, mom, take that down. And I thought she looked so adorable. Andrea Rogers [00:19:08]: I know. I’ve been there. Amberly Lago [00:19:10]: And she was like, all my friends saw. I’m like, how did all your friends see? She goes, they follow you. And I was like, oh, well, that’s kind of weird. They follow me. So now I have to ask permission for all of it. And what’s so funny, I told Ruby last night. I looked at Instagram. I was like, oh, my gosh, Ruby, your post went viral. Amberly Lago [00:19:29]: I said, I need to just post you more often. And she just got this big smile on her face. But I love that video that you posted with your girls. And you said something super, super important that I think in case moms missed it. I want to go back to what you said about being present. I think that’s key. Like, yeah, we travel, we do things, but when we come back, if we can be where our feet are. And you are a present, mom. Amberly Lago [00:19:58]: And I see how you just. I love seeing your posts that you do with your daughters, and I think it’s so cool you’re going to take them with you to New York to be on the billboard. It’s time. They’ll never forget. Andrea Rogers [00:20:10]: They’ll never forget. Yeah. You know what? I think it’s an. It’s important to. To we always say, be present, be present, be present. But, like, I think you have to just stop and really assess it sometimes and just go, is your phone in your hand? Where does it need to be in your hand? Like, where can you. You know, like, we have. You know, we have rules in our house with the phone and usage and when we can use it, when we can’t use it, and when we sit down for dinner and what, you know, even in the car, like, phones down, let’s talk. Andrea Rogers [00:20:33]: Those are our times to actually connect, you know, because everybody’s so busy and we’re going, going, going, and we never stop. And then they’re doing homework. And you don’. One time when, like, you do when they’re younger, you know, so you have to find it. And I try to make time with each daughter independently. Right? So, like, here’s some time with this daughter. I take this one out to lunch or this one out to dinner. Just us, just to get that one on one time. Andrea Rogers [00:20:53]: Because it’s hard, you know, when you’re trying to balance it all and do it all. So it’s not always perfect. It’s not always even and balanced, but at the end of the day, we’re doing our best. Amberly Lago [00:21:03]: Yeah, I heard Ed Mylet, who I love, he’s been on the show, he’s a friend of mine, and he said, balance is boring. Andrea Rogers [00:21:13]: And I was like, if you think. Amberly Lago [00:21:15]: About it, it would be true. Be pretty mundane if everything was just balanced. But I really think there are seasons. Andrea Rogers [00:21:22]: And sometimes that’s what I always say. Yes, there are seasons. Amberly Lago [00:21:26]: Seasons. When it’s like, this is a season, and whatever season you’re in, give it your all, you know? Andrea Rogers [00:21:32]: You bet. Amberly Lago [00:21:33]: Yeah, for sure. How long did it take you to write your book? Andrea Rogers [00:21:38]: You know, it’s been years in the making, so I would say, you know, we started working on the proposal, and originally it leaned a little bit more into the wellness and exercise side of things. We pitched it, didn’t get a yes, didn’t get any publishers that wanted to work with me. And that was defeating, but not entirely. So I just was like, okay, let’s go back. Let’s. Let’s try to fix this and make this a little bit better. Let’s try to tweak it. Let’s try to focus on this more and this more. Andrea Rogers [00:22:05]: We just. We took the same ingredients and just kind of reframed it and. And that took another six months to just kind of, like, really stick it. So before I even got the publishing deal, and then I got multiple offers that round. So that was good. But it took, I mean, a year and a half to even get that first deal, just a deal before I even, like, wrote the book, you know, and by that point, I had written so much up to that point, so I had a lot of. Of the work done. But yeah, and then it took another. Andrea Rogers [00:22:35]: About another year before it was completed. So it’s. It’s been a long time in the making. I mean, I started this in 2021 just after Covid. So, yeah, it’s been a while. Amberly Lago [00:22:47]: Thank you for sharing that. Because there are so many different ways to. To publish A book. And I think it’s important to know how you want to publish your book. And I thank you for sharing that because I want people to know. It’s not like an. For me, definitely. My first book took me two years. Amberly Lago [00:23:04]: And with the second book, I had a title in mind, but didn’t have. Hadn’t thought about writing a proposer or getting a literary agent or anything like that. And they reached. I had a publisher reach out to me and I just pitched this book off the top of my head and they said yes. And I got off the phone and I’m like, oh, my gosh. What? Andrea Rogers [00:23:29]: Wait, I love that though. You never told me that. I love that. Amberly Lago [00:23:32]: Oh my gosh. And I got in the office and I was like, well, honey, I just got a book deal. And he goes, oh, man, when are you gonna have time for that? That was his reaction, you know, imagine. Andrea Rogers [00:23:44]: I can imagine. Amberly Lago [00:23:45]: But I wanted to go back to you because of your discipline and your time. And I can see that because we’ve met on a zoom on early on a Saturday or you’re willing to meet on a Sunday, or you’re just like, boom, boom, boom. You’re going to schedule it and get it done. Do you have like a ritual or. Okay, first of all, do you have a morning ritual that you do that helps you stay more grounded throughout the day? And then I’ll ask the next question. Andrea Rogers [00:24:16]: I have so many questions. Yes, yes, I do. And that is all part of the book. Most of these principles are done for me before 11 o’, clock, 30 minutes or less a day. That is why I feel like I have such a strong foundation. And when curveballs come my way, I’m like, it’s all right. I just lean back into these simple seven strategies. Some of them, I will have seasons where I need more than the others. Andrea Rogers [00:24:42]: Sometimes I’ll have to lean into others a little bit lighter. It just depends on where I’m at in my life. But yes, I am very, very big on routine. Now, that doesn’t mean I’m inflexible. I have crazy flexibility in my routine because I need to be. I’m sometimes traveling. I mean, my schedule is crazy. But I have these things that I go to. Andrea Rogers [00:25:00]: They are my go to every day. Must do, do not deny, non negotiable. And they make me feel my best. They put me in the best position for success every single day. Hands down. Amberly Lago [00:25:13]: That’s. Yeah, I love that. I’m the same way and I’m flexible, but I think it’s it helps you stay resilient. And I think we have to work on our resilience before we need it. Andrea Rogers [00:25:23]: Ah, yeah, that is. Oh, that is it. What you just said is so true. And a lot of these things in the book are exactly that. You might not need it right away. You might not need to really have intentional breath work in your back pocket. But if you practice it now, when you absolutely don’t crucially need it, just wait for the power it’s going to have when you do need it. And at some point we all will. Andrea Rogers [00:25:43]: And so it’s that, it’s that, it’s that right there. Do you exercise every single day so you can look great? Yes. But you also exercise every day so that when you move your house, you can pick up boxes and, and move things around and there’s always, you know, it’s all about the work that you do in the. In that’s what counts. So I think that resilience and building that resilience is key. Amberly Lago [00:26:06]: Yeah. And moving your body. Oh, my goodness. I move my body because it moves my mood. Andrea Rogers [00:26:11]: Oh, girl. Moves your mood. Moves. Move, I say. Move your body. Move your life. Move your body. Move your life. Andrea Rogers [00:26:19]: Like, if you want anything in your life to change and you are not moving your body every single day, good luck, honey, because that is not gonna happen. If you don’t have the discipline to show up for your health and to show up for your mind and to show up for your. Your mood, then don’t expect it all flow. You got to move your body every single day. Non negotiable. And that’s one of my non negotiables, actually. Amberly Lago [00:26:40]: That was my next question for you. Do you have some non negotiables? Andrea Rogers [00:26:44]: Yes. I mean, and the thing is, here’s the thing. I am not the person who’s going to the gym every day and putting in two hours of like crazy, intense work. If that is you love it, own it. That is so amazing. I have friends that do and I. And that’s their thing. And I think that’s wonderful for me, I just have to move my body every single day. Andrea Rogers [00:27:01]: Some days that looks like 10 minutes of movement and I give it my all those 10 minutes. I own those 10 minutes. I am going to feel those 10 minutes. I’m going to feel like I did an hour workout. And then some days I really need that hour workout and I need more and I need to push myself a little further. But I allow myself to have that flexibility in the routine. But I never just have an excuse of like, nah, don’t feel like it. I’m not gonna move today. Andrea Rogers [00:27:23]: It’s like, well, I don’t feel like brushing my teeth today, but I’m certainly going to brush them, you know, so it’s just. It’s non negotiable. And once you become that person that finds that consistency, you can be that person that works out every single day. And that’s what this book is all about, is teaching those habits and teaching you how to make these small moves that don’t have to be overwhelming, that aren’t going to bury you, that aren’t going to put that fear in front of you and go, oh, my God, where’s the excuse? I need to have an excuse so I don’t have to do this. It’s just going to be like, all right, I can move my body for 10 minutes. Everybody can move their body for 10 minutes. I actually filmed workouts to go along with this book, Amberly. They’re 10 minute workouts. Andrea Rogers [00:27:58]: If you buy the book, you get them for free. Like, you buy the book, you get them for free. Amberly Lago [00:28:02]: So, like, there’s no excuse for that, by the way. Andrea Rogers [00:28:04]: I love it. I love it. Amberly Lago [00:28:06]: What is the link for people to sign up for these workouts? Because I cannot stress enough. I mean, and this isn’t just because I’m a former dancer and former fitness instructor, but, like, I really think the discipline of moving your body will move your life, like you said, but also it will move your business, your career. And I was just right before we started recording this, Andrea, I was in the. I was in the kitchen, and I had gotten a message from someone who is new, and they’re trying to do, like, these big things, and, okay, they’re kind of overwhelmed. And I told my husband. I was like, oh, my God. Gosh, if they don’t have the discipline to at least move and do this and this, I don’t know how they’re going to make it. Like, I. Amberly Lago [00:28:52]: I know that sounds terrible. Andrea Rogers [00:28:53]: No, no, because that’s saying that. No, but that’s exactly what it is. It. It is exactly that. And I say that to my friends. I’m very honest with them. I’m like, if you don’t have the discipline to commit 10 minutes every day to this, it’s going to be hard to do every. All the other things you want to do. Amberly Lago [00:29:08]: It’s so true. Well, what is the links. So I can make sure everybody knows it and I can put it in show notes. So people. Andrea Rogers [00:29:14]: I appreciate that it’s small moves, big life.com. that’s the website. And once you go to the website you’ll click on about and it’ll show you everything. It’ll be under the section called Move. You click on Move and it’ll give you all the information you need to submit your receipt and get access to the Move workout library. Amberly Lago [00:29:30]: I got it, by the way. Yeah, it’s good. Andrea Rogers [00:29:32]: It’s so effective. It’s 10 minutes and you’re going to be like, what did I just do in those 10 minutes? Yes. Amberly Lago [00:29:38]: And I said, you know, don’t consume, create. But I have to say I have binged your Instagram. I’ve binged it because you do some workouts even on your Instagram. I do, yeah. But yeah, I do think that’s a non negotiable for me too. And you know, I was just traveling. I got back, I went and traveled three and a half hours on a plane to get to the airport to have to take a bus to get a rental car and then drive in the rental car two hours to the location. It was in the middle of nowhere. Andrea Rogers [00:30:10]: Oh my gosh. That’s a lot. That’s a lot. Amberly Lago [00:30:13]: It was a lot. Andrea Rogers [00:30:14]: That’s a lot. Amberly Lago [00:30:15]: And I forgot that I can’t drive with my right leg for long distances because. And so I drove the whole way with my left foot. But I made it. But I did not. I really didn’t have time to get to the gym before I went and spoke. And so what I did was somebody had come out and I was about to go on and speak and they’re like, well, you’re about to go on. I said, okay, let me go prepare. I said, I do push ups and prayer. Amberly Lago [00:30:41]: And she goes, oh, I love that kind of laugh. And then she saw me over in the corner in my skirt sitting there doing push ups. Andrea Rogers [00:30:48]: I just love that you actually do. Amberly Lago [00:30:52]: And I’m like, oh no, I’m not kidding. I was like, because it does. It moves your mood and it makes you feel like you’re getting ready. And something that’s really helped me and I’m sharing this because I heard your sweet pup in the background earlier is getting a new puppy has been a blessing because I’m the only one who takes her out for walks. And so even if it’s a 10 minute walk, I get outside and get in nature and so you can get. It can be draining being inside a tiny office all day. So I encourage you get outside and move your get outside and move. Andrea Rogers [00:31:29]: And that’s what I say if you don’t, if you really are just starting from the very, very beginning, and it is hard for you just to get up off that couch or out of that seat, just walk. Walk is the. Walking is the most underrated form of exercise. It is powerful because it creates movement. And when you get out and you go outside in nature and you are moving your body, even if it’s for 10 minutes, I’m telling you, you’re going to feel better than you did before, and you’re going to feel better than you would had you not move that day. I mean, it’s science, right? We get those endorphins when we move our body. Not only that, when you get the vitamin D and nature, you are, you’re doing something really good for your body, especially if you can do it first thing in the morning, right? That circadian rhythm is going to be flowing. You’re going to be feeling that energy. Andrea Rogers [00:32:13]: You’re going to just feel like you did something that you didn’t have to do, but you did anyway, and that’s going to feel good. And you’re more likely then to make another good decision during the day. Amberly Lago [00:32:23]: Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. Well, what is the biggest lesson you have learned with being a mom, an entrepreneur, owning a huge business, writing a book, you’re speaking on stages. What is something that you have learned either from either a mistake you’ve made or money that you invested in a program or a coach that wasn’t great? Like, what’s the biggest lesson that you’ve learned that you’ve been able to take that lesson and then apply it towards growing yourself and your business? Andrea Rogers [00:32:57]: I would say, and this is going to sound cliche, hence the title of my book, but I really have learned how to take my big dreams because I am a very ambitious person. I want to do it all, and I have a million ideas going. I want to trademark everything, I want to patent everything, and I want to create everything. And I have really learned how to focus and to take these big, big thoughts and bring it down to these small initiatives and focus on that one thing at that moment to really give it my all. You know, I made some mistakes when I started launching my business. I grew very quickly before I, you know, was ready to grow. And there were a lot of things that I learned along that path, which is you gotta sometimes stop, zoom out and focus on what you have currently and just focus on moving that a little bit slower. That doesn’t mean that you can’t have big Goals and big dreams and huge lofty ideas, because I always do. Andrea Rogers [00:33:49]: I can’t squash those, and I don’t want to. But instead of just like going full throttle, I sometimes now have, I have the ability now to stop and go, okay, what is that need? It’s a back to that, do that thing strategy. What is that need that I really want to focus on? And I tell a lot of new business owners this when they come to me and say, hey, I want to franchise. You know, what is it like to franchise? I’m like, well, how long have you been in business? You know? You know, six months. I’m like, okay, we gotta pause. Let’s just wait. You gotta give it some time. And I really think that sometimes staying more local, staying hyper focused on that local, staying hyper focused on that one singular aspect of your business is going to help you become a master at it. Andrea Rogers [00:34:26]: And once you’re a master at it, then you can start to focus on how you can spread it out. Now, that doesn’t mean you’re always going to feel prepared for growth. You know, a lot of growth happens when you’re not prepared. That’s a beautiful thing too. I think there’s some beautiful lessons and going before you’re absolutely ready. But I think it’s also important to not always think that bigger is more. Right. Maybe you don’t need 10 stores. Andrea Rogers [00:34:47]: Maybe you just need two. Maybe you don’t need, you know, to have all these different revenue streams. Maybe you need to just focus on one. Maybe you don’t need 10 products. Maybe you just need one, you know, so. And, and be the master at it and be the best at it and learn it and know it and be able to sell it. So that’s typically what I will always give as advice is like, just put the brakes on a little bit and don’t be afraid to master what you’re doing at the current moment. Amberly Lago [00:35:09]: Oh, I think that’s so great. Great. If you think about even something as far as, like, where. Well, where we live. Like, I. I miss the food where I lived when I lived in California. I mean, I love living in Texas. There are things that I love, but the food is not great. Amberly Lago [00:35:27]: It’s not what I’m used to, you know, and where we live, we’re about 20 miles outside of Dallas and it’s like all fast food. Like, just all fast food. But. And so I’m used to my daughter, I’m not going to lie. She loves going to Chick fil A and in and out, of course And I think that those two stores, though, they rarely mess up the order. They have their systems, like, their systems are down. Andrea Rogers [00:35:53]: They are down. They are not. They’re locked in, girl. They are locked in. Amberly Lago [00:35:59]: They are both restaurants. They are so locked in. So I think the advice that you gave is great. Like, really make sure what you have is running smooth. You have those systems in place. Maybe you can take people that you’ve trained and they know the business like the inside, outside of their hand to take that and go and open up a new store. And so I think that’s great advice. What systems in place do you have right now as far as, like, running your business, making sure that people are getting taken care of, that you’re getting all your emails? Like, do you check all your emails? Do you have systems in place that you would recommend that have really helped you level up and also just find a little bit of serenity? Andrea Rogers [00:36:47]: Yes, again, back to the do the thing. That is my bible. That is my go to. That is my every. That’s my organizational bible. Like, that is how I am able to, like, just. It’s my guiding light for the day, right? That is, I can’t start my day without giving that assessment to my day. And that’s, I think, something we need to talk about. Andrea Rogers [00:37:05]: We just go through our day, right? We are constantly getting through it, right? It was funny. I was at the football game last week with my daughter and someone asked someone, another parent, how’s it going? And he was like, I’m maintaining. And I was like, oh, that’s an interesting perspective. I’m maintaining. Not thriving, not surviving, but just maintaining. And I thought that’s how a lot of us live our life, right? We’re maintaining. We’re just constantly. We wake up and we just go right into, like, maintain mode, right? Maintenance mode. Andrea Rogers [00:37:36]: We’re maintaining. We’re maintaining. And I think that we forget. There’s. There is the ability to be intentional with what we do with our hours. There’s the ability to be intentional with what our energy is contributing toward and how we are getting that return on our energy. And so my strategy is to be clear with my intentions for the day. The night before, I look at my calendar, I make sure that I understand what my calendar looks like. Andrea Rogers [00:38:01]: Some days it is nuts. It is crazy. There’s not a lot of time. Other days, I have some gaps. And when I sit down that night before I give myself a moment to just think about what I want to do tomorrow, like, what is that main objective? You know, for example, this week I have to go to the dmv. Girl, do you know how that so much fun, right? I also have to get a new cell phone. Like these are things that are just everyday things and you don’t want to do it and you’re like. So I just take the time from those little things to the big things, which are I have to book flights. Andrea Rogers [00:38:28]: I have to also talk to somebody else about jumping into this, a book signing. Like there’s some big things and small things, but I take the time to go, okay, you know what? Monday I have a little more free time. Here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to focus on A, B, C and D. And I’m going to think about the night before. I don’t write it down the night before. I don’t like going to detail. I just give it some thoughts. Andrea Rogers [00:38:45]: So I don’t go to bed at night with all those worries waking me up, you know, going, knock, knock, knock, let’s think about this, let’s think about this, let’s stress about this, let’s worry about this. I’m like, I’ve already given it some oxygen. Then the next morning when I wake up in the morning, I sit down with my pen and paper. It’s not fancy. I have my journals, but sometimes I don’t have them with me. And it’s just a piece of paper and I just write down those three non negotiables. Once those three non negotiables are there, I look at the calendar. I’m like, you know what? I think I’ve got room for two more. Andrea Rogers [00:39:13]: I’m going to write two more things down. Those are my bonus moves of the day. And then I’ll always add like a signature move the day. And my signature move of the day is something that is going to give me back something, nothing else but like something for me. Something to keep my mind, you know, from I’m going crazy. It’s like my go to. So it could be as simple as, I’m going to get my new fuzzy socks that I’ve been wanting because I haven’t, I have. My old fuzzy socks are not cozy anymore and I’m going to go get my new fuzzy socks box. Andrea Rogers [00:39:42]: Or it could be, you know, I’m going to buy a new candle that I’m going to light for my bath every night. It just something small that just makes me feel like I’m doing something for me. And as cheesy as that sounds, it does feel good. Like I love Skin care. I just. Maybe it’s a mask that night. And that. That mask might seem really silly, but for me, it’s like giving myself an hour at the spa. Andrea Rogers [00:40:02]: And it just feels. It gives. Gives me that calm. So those are my strategies the night before. I give it some thought. The morning of, I give it intention, and then I move and take action. Amberly Lago [00:40:12]: That’s so good. I love that. And I love treating myself. Skin care, treating myself to a mask or. You know, I even bought this thing. One of my clients had this red input. Andrea Rogers [00:40:26]: I use that every day. Amberly Lago [00:40:28]: You do? I need. Andrea Rogers [00:40:29]: Every day. Amberly Lago [00:40:30]: I need to get mine out again. Andrea Rogers [00:40:31]: Every day. 10 minutes. I use the red light mask, and I have a red light hat, and I sit on my picture PEMF mat. And that is my 10 minutes. 10 minutes. I did it every single day. Amberly Lago [00:40:40]: Okay. I’m getting my mask up again because I bought it. Andrea Rogers [00:40:43]: It works. Amberly Lago [00:40:43]: I haven’t had it out, but. Andrea Rogers [00:40:45]: Oh, it works. You have to make it accessible. That’s the thing. You know what? I. I’m like, you know me, I don’t like clutter. Everything’s in its place. But I keep that ugly red light mask on the side of my bed stand, and I keep my ugly black hat on the side of my bed stand. And I keep my mat tucked in. Andrea Rogers [00:41:01]: Not on top of my bed, but tucked in a little bit. But I can still see it. And I used to be like, oh, I want to hide it. I don’t want to see that. I want it to look clean. And now I’m like, you know what? I’m not going to use it if it’s always underneath the bed or hidden. And now. And I really need to use it because it makes me feel better. Andrea Rogers [00:41:14]: So now I hide it to my best ability, but it’s accessible. And so, like, I put the mask out. I. It’s out. Because if it’s not out, I’m not going to use it. Amberly Lago [00:41:22]: That’s so smart, because, yeah, I’m the same. I like everything in its place. Andrea Rogers [00:41:26]: You bet. Amberly Lago [00:41:27]: Mine’s underneath the sink. And let me tell you, Nugget, our dog freaked out the first time with that mask on. And so did my husband. Andrea Rogers [00:41:36]: He was like, I love it. Amberly Lago [00:41:37]: Who are you? What are you doing? But it does make you feel good. And then I think sometimes I need somebody to remind me because, like, yesterday. So Sundays are my day to prepare for the week. And so I had just been like. I get, like, locked in on something, and I had just been like, I was writing a foreword For a book. Another book. And locked in. And finally about 2 o’, clock, my husband was like, you know what, you’re going to take a break now and come to the gym with me and you’re going to have with me and you’re not going to talk about work or even think about it. Andrea Rogers [00:42:12]: And I was like, I love that. Amberly Lago [00:42:14]: Okay. And so like what feels good to me is to go to the gym and listen to my favorite music. And so yeah, just the little things make such a big difference, which is what? Andrea Rogers [00:42:25]: You’re such a great partner too. Amberly Lago [00:42:27]: Out. Andrea Rogers [00:42:27]: Yeah. Amberly Lago [00:42:28]: And you know what? I have a short attention span, but your book had me locked in and so I just love it. I can’t wait for people to get their hands on it. And a couple of other questions. So you talked about breath work and I have started doing breath work every single night. Like when I actually when I get in bed, it’s what calms my nervous system down. Do you do breath work every day? Andrea Rogers [00:42:53]: Every day, multiple times a day. I do it every morning and every night without fail. And then I do it throughout the day. It is my go to. I do it in carpool, I do it while I’m driving, I do it when I start to feel the anxiety or stress come. It is the most incredible tool that we have at our disposal. You don’t need a phone, you don’t need an app, you don’t need a book, you don’t need anything. It’s already there and you’re already equipped to use it. Andrea Rogers [00:43:17]: And once you teach yourself how to use it effectively, which I go through in the book, it is a game changer. I mean it is unbelievable how good I can feel after I do these techniques and how much it can calm me, how I can go from my fight orf flight mode into my calm, my rest, my digest very quickly. It has been. I mean that honestly is what got me through some of the hardest times in my life. Truly was just intentional breathing. And as you said, some days I do it every day. Even when I feel like I don’t need it, I do it every single day. And the days that I do need it is always there for me and never fails me. Amberly Lago [00:43:54]: Yeah, it is amazing. It really in scientifically proven. Scientifically proven sympathetic nervous system. Andrea Rogers [00:44:02]: Correct. Amberly Lago [00:44:03]: Which for me a lot of times I get in bed at night and my mind, it’s like my mind is just going and going and going. Even though I’ve written some things down and I’m like, okay. And I can go through a Meditation and some breath work. And the breath work literally is maybe two minutes. That’s it. And sometimes I don’t even make it through the rest of the meditation. I’m out, I’m asleep. And it makes me sleep so good. Andrea Rogers [00:44:31]: It does, it really does. It really is so effective. And in the book I talk about different techniques. Some that are more energizing, some that are more calming, some that are great to do at bedtime and you’ll find what works for you. You know I have like my go to that I love, I love box breathing and I love my inhale and exhale technique. And when you find the one that works for you, it is like it’s in your back pocket and you can just reach for it whenever you need it. Amberly Lago [00:44:52]: Yeah. Hey, I just thought of something. When you do your TED Talk, are you going to take the audience through breath work? Andrea Rogers [00:44:58]: I would love to. I would. Amberly Lago [00:44:59]: Absolutely. That would be so cool. I’ve never seen another TED Talk that’s done that. Andrea Rogers [00:45:04]: Oh, I didn’t know that. I’ll have to. Amberly Lago [00:45:06]: I mean I’ll look, I’m gonna read. I’m curious. But I’m just thinking because it is, it can be life changing. I think so often doctors want to just put you on anti anxiety medication when all you have to do is do these breathing techniques. I love that you share your experience in your book and your wisdom, your strength and your hope that other people who are going through a hard time or a challenge, that they can thrive, they don’t have to do just maintain. They can actually thrive in their life and their mental health and their physical health and in their business. I think book is just incredible. And like I said, I can’t wait to get it for all of my mastermind members. Amberly Lago [00:45:53]: I can’t wait for it to be out. It’s gonna be. Andrea Rogers [00:45:55]: Thank you. So soon. Amberly Lago [00:45:57]: Yes. And now so give us the name of that website where people can get your book and get the 10 minute exercises. Andrea Rogers [00:46:05]: Yes. So again go to small move, big life.com and the book is there along with all the links for the retailers Amazon, Barnes and Noble, all the retails that you can purchase the book at, which launches October 14th. And then once you purchase the book, you don’t have to have it in your hands. You just show me a receipt, just screenshot a receipt and send it to me. The email is on the website and then I will quickly return access to the workout library along with stretches too. I do a whole stretching series of videos those as well, which is incredibly powerful. Amberly Lago [00:46:36]: And you know what? I’m gonna have to do it again because I’ve already. I already did it. And then my Microsoft got hacked. Andrea Rogers [00:46:44]: Yes, it did. Amberly Lago [00:46:45]: I had saved your. All your emails, they were just gone. I’m gonna do it again, but perfect. I don’t say this lightly, like how good your book is. It is going to be life changing for so many people. Andrea Rogers [00:46:59]: I sure hope. Amberly Lago [00:47:00]: And it’s a page turner. It was. It’s easy to read and we didn’t even get into a lot of like your struggles that how you learned a lot of these lessons. And I like learning from people who have actually gone through something challenging, come out the other side and they know how to from experience, how to be resilient, how to thrive, how to build. And you are that. So thank you for being on the show and thank you for your wisdom. What is the best place for people to find you? Andrea Rogers [00:47:33]: Yes, I think social media. Instagram is probably the best place. That’s where I do a lot post all of my content and things that are happening. So Andrea Lee Rogers is my Instagram. Or you can just go to Smallmouth Big Life.
