30 Days with Jacob Frederick

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend and got to enjoy some time outside with the cooler weather. I'm excited to kick off a month focused on improving nutrition for the whole family.

Now, I wish I could offer a magic fix to make healthy eating effortless—but the reality is, it takes time, practice, and probably a few weeks where it all feels like a mess. And that’s okay. Because the ultimate goal is growth—for you, and for your kids. So why not keep learning?

While the main focus this month will be on nutrition, I’ll also be sharing tips on what I call foundational habits—things like gratitude, positive thinking, and prioritizing experiences. Why? Because the strongest habits start with a strong mindset.

Here’s what to expect:

• Meal prep tips and tricks ​

• Simple, family-friendly recipes ​

• Healthy swaps ​

• Mindset habits to build momentum ​

• 2–3 short emails each week with one simple action step ​

✅ Today’s Action Step: ​Block off 20–30 minutes each week in August for planning and prep. Make reviewing and acting on these emails non-negotiable. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress and more confidence by month’s end.

As we go, I’d love to hear from you. What’s been helpful? What are you still struggling with? I’m always here if you need 1:1 support—just reach out!

Let’s build a better, stronger foundation—together. ​ ​Best in Health​ ​ Jacob Frederick MS, Pn Lvl 1, ACE - CPT Intentionally Selfish Owner/Health Coach ​Intentionally Selfish

Happy Hump Day,

I hope your week is going well so far! On Monday, I challenged you to carve out 20 minutes later in the week to plan for the upcoming one. If you haven’t had a chance yet, no worries—you still have time. This simple step is one of the most powerful strategies for building consistency and seeing progress. As we move forward with building better habits, I wanted to share a quick video on Nutrition Fundamentals and where to begin. The health and wellness space has made nutrition overly complicated, but the truth is this: there are many ways to be successful. The best plan is the one you can follow consistently. So stay curious, commit to learning, and embrace progress over perfection. Health and well-being aren’t about hitting a finish line—they’re about growing from week to week. Here are some resources to support your planning:

• Breakfast Prep Ideas
  

• How Meal Planning Saves Money (and stress)
  

• Quick Backup Meal Tip
  

• Sample Meal Plan w/ Notes
  

• Better Ingredient Swaps: Peanut Butter Edition
  

• Easy, Affordable Dinners:
  

  • Maple Dijon Sheet Pan (customizable veggies & protein)
    

  • Mini Meatloaf (great for dinner and/or prep)
    

This is the second email in our series, and I hope you’re already noticing a few small wins. Remember, the goal isn’t perfection in week one—it’s showing up a little more consistently than you did before. If there’s anything else I can do to support you, I’d love your feedback. And if you're ready for more personalized guidance, I offer free 1-on-1 Discovery Sessions—you can schedule one here anytime.

No, Spot TV includes video only, with no audio, to keep the focus on the dancers’ movements and keep our classes distraction-free.

I hope you’ve have a wonderful week and are feeling ready for the new school year! This season always brings change, and with it the chance to pause, adapt, and refocus. Take 10–20 minutes this weekend to reflect: What matters most to you and your family in the next month? How can you approach the transition with curiosity and a growth mindset?

If you’d like support walking through that reflection and planning, you can always schedule a 1:1 with me here. Weekly Challenge This week’s challenge is simple: 10 minutes of movement each day. Walking outside, dancing in the living room, stretching before bed—whatever works for you. The key is planning it ahead of time so you’re more likely to follow through. A reminder:

• Not every challenge will fit everyone—and that’s okay.
  

• Stay curious, not perfect. As Vusi Thembekwayo says: “Perfectionism is not achievable, imperfection is guaranteed, improvement is your goal.”
  

Nutrition Focus This week let’s look at healthier alternatives to common kids’ snacks—plus a fun recipe the whole family can try. Better Snack Swaps

• Peanut Butter: Choose brands with only peanuts + salt.
  

• Apple Sauce: White Leaf Provisions, Eden, North Coast, 365, Santa Cruz.
  

• Candy: Unreal, Lovely Lollipops, Yum Earth Giggles, Smart Sweets.
  

• Chicken Nuggets: Perdue, Mary’s Organic, Realgood Chicken.
  

Whole foods (fruits, veggies, etc.) are always best. But when life gets hectic, having improved convenience options makes a real difference. Family Recipe Here’s a fun dish to try together this week: Goodles Noodles with Veggie-Packed Sauce (Swap the pasta for spaghetti squash if you’d like—or stick with pasta and just load up the sauce with extra veggies!) I’d love to hear what your family thinks—don’t hesitate to share, even if it’s a “not for us” recipe. Every

kitchen experiment is a learning moment!

Hello Allstars Families,

Thank you for a wonderful week! We LOVED seeing all of the routines on Show Day and our collective progress has been amazing to watch!

Progress Over Perfection

It is likely the newness of the season has worn off as we move into October, but it is so important for dancers to keep up their commitment to progress. The dancers continue each rehearsal to clean small sections of their routine that add up to a whole dance, showcasing all of their hard work. Here is how you can help:

• Practice Videos- Make sure these are submitted. These support the work that has already been done and solidify the cleans. Dancers being able to execute cleans ensures that the whole team is making progress in their routines! Confidence comes from feeling prepared.

• Cleans- This is not perfection, but rather uniformity. Highlight for your dancer that this is so the team looks and works together, and subtract the word perfect from the vocabulary. This is a key element to a champion mindset.

We are looking forward to continuing to train this and other key components in our upcoming Mindset workshops with Coach Natasha.

Reminders:

Fill out the surveys below by Friday, October 3rd (TODAY). Makeup and Earrings ordered will have payment applied and charged automatically on October 15th. Hairpieces are at no additional cost.

If your dancer wishes to wear their Team Heather t-shirt, they are welcome to arrive and warm up in this, but would be asked to remove for rehearsal.

Announcements:

Soloists

Those signed up for Masquerade Cedar Rapids - please see your email regarding an important update needing your attention and response by Sunday, October 5th.

​

Going Outside & Subway

If your dancer would like to go outside on break or go to Subway, they must check out and back in with Ms. Amy. With the warm weather, it is just fine to enjoy it while you can, but we must know where your dancer is at all times and ensure there is adult supervision. Please review this expectation with your dancer before next week's classes.

Team Travel Source works with these hotels upon contracting to negotiate and encourage cancellation policies that support teams, often beyond their typical cancellation policies for high traffic weekends.

Studio 360 does not receive final competition times until 7–14 days prior to the event. However, we will share the anticipated schedule as soon as it is available to help families plan accordingly.

Thank you!

​

This is an optional-but-strongly-encouraged opportunity to perform. However, we will only move forward if all dancers are available. We are currently gathering team availability, and final details—including performance order and viewer logistics—will be shared once we confirm participation with all team members and receive a final schedule from Monticello coaches.

Hello Allstar Families,

First and foremost, we want to extend our sincere apologies for the confusion caused by our previous email regarding hotel bookings for Nation’s Choice and Dance Fest.

Team Travel Source (TTS) had sent a communication to teams that created a sense of urgency we believed required our immediate action. Based on that, we sent an email stating that hotel bookings for these events had to go through TTS.

After further review, this is NOT the case.​ ✔️ Nation’s Choice (Nov 15) and ✔️ Dance Fest (Jan 9–10)​ do NOT require housing through Team Travel Source.

We are grateful to those who quickly brought this to our attention, and while we’re sorry for the mix-up, we’re treating it as a “practice fire drill” to help us better navigate urgent travel communications going forward.

What You Need to Know:

We had already secured studio-negotiated room blocks for both of these events—at better pricing and with added perks. THANK YOU HOTEL HEATHER!! Many families have already booked using the links provided earlier in July for Nation's Choice (or will find them below).

Nation’s Choice – Madison, WI

Hotel: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Madison Central ​Dates: Nov 14–16 ​Link:Studio 360 at Holiday Inn Express​

• $129 King Standard

• $139 Two Queen Standard

• Shuttle to venue provided for dancers and coaches!

Dance Fest – Milwaukee, WI

Hotel: Hyatt Regency Milwaukee ​Dates: Jan 9–10 ​Link:Studio 360 Dance Fest Reservation​

• $109 Double Deluxe

• $109 King Deluxe

Note- Milwaukee hotel does not have a pool. The benefit here is that they are connected to the venue via skywalk, and they are offering discounted parking (you pay for parking anywhere downtown). BUT people can book wherever they want if they want to search for a hotel further out of town with a pool. Note that the Dells competition at Kalahari in February may be the pool time you are looking to capture.

​

*If you would like to keep your TTS bookings, you are welcome to do so and this will not create any issue on our end.

What IS Required for Future Events:

Team Travel Source will be required for our February and March competitions. Details for those events will be communicated as early as this Friday, September 12. These events will have a 48-hour booking window through TTS, and we will make sure that is clearly outlined when the time comes.

Again, we deeply apologize for the miscommunication and appreciate everyone’s understanding and quick feedback. We’re grateful to have a community that looks out for one another, and we’re committed to keeping communication clear moving forward.

Thank you all for your continued support!

With gratitude for your grace,

A few families have asked the following questions and we are here to help in case others are also seeking clarification.

FAQs

Q: Why am I seeing a new monthly charge on my account?

A: Absolutely! We are happy to help accommodate your payment preferences whenever possible. Simply reply here at your earliest convenience and we will get that manually adjusted.

Q: Is tuition a separate charge from my program fees and if so, what was included in that?

A: Yes, program fees are different from monthly tuition. These cover costs associated with the Worlds team separate from weekly rehearsals, including the below items:

Hello!

We are so excited you will be performing in the 1st annual 360 Solon Acro production! Every year, we do a full production run through before we head to dress rehearsal so teachers can see it all put together and make any necessary tweaks in order for dancers to put on their best performance.

Our full Solon Acro production rehearsal will be at the Empire on Friday, May 10th from 5:00-6:15 pm. Dancers can wear their normal dress code for class.

If you dancer cannot be in attendance please let us know in advance. We would like all students there if possible. Putting together a production is like putting together a puzzle and we want all dancers to feel as prepared as possible.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
