Meet Alyssa

In this episode we are getting to know Alyssa, co-host of Fit For Motherhood.
 
Alyssa lives in Chicago with her husband and two toddlers (3 & 2). They recently bought a 1950s home on the northwest side and are in the process of renovating it.  Please send help or any decorating tips her way.
 
She works part-time as a pediatric oncology nurse treating kids with neuroblastoma. She is also a certified holistic health and life coach and the owner of Grounded Roots Coaching.
Alyssa loves working with women of all sizes and stages of life, but her area of specialty is coaching women in their first year or two postpartum.
 
Alyssa also has a passion for clean beauty and household products. If you're interested in learning more you can check out her Beautycounter page at www.beautycounter.com/alyssayost.
 
When not working you’ll find Alyssa spending time with her husband and kids.  Their current favorite place is the Lincoln Park Zoo trying to spot the new baby rhino.
 
She has been blessed with an amazing community of moms around her, and one thing she has learned is that motherhood is not something to tackle alone.  We need each other!

Om Podcasten

Hi friends, welcome to the Fit For Motherhood Podcast!!! Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen, we are SO excited to have you with us! We have been friends since early childhood, grew up together and are currently the moms of littles 5 and under. A LITTLE BIT OF INFO ON US Ali lives in central Illinois with her husband, Matt, and their three kids (4, 3 & 1). She is a part time hair stylist and spends the rest of her time at home with her kids. She is an enneagram 9w1. Alyssa lives in Chicago with her husband, Grant, and their two toddlers (3 & 1). She works part time as a pediatric oncology nurse and is also a certified holistic health coach & life coach and the owner of Grounded Roots Coaching. She especially loves working with women during their first year postpartum. She is still trying to figure out her enneagram. WHY ARE WE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE TOPIC OF MOTHERHOOD? • We’re MOMS • We’ve both experienced difficulties in our journeys as moms and have felt alone in dealing with those challenges. • We’re tired of the perfect images that are crafted on social media to which we find ourselves comparing our lives. • For Ali, she has become more self-aware in the last year or so and is tired of being dragged along by life. She has challenged herself to find ways to be more proactive about her mental and physical health because she realizes how much those things affect her ability to parent effectively. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PODCAST? • Letting moms know that they are not alone in questioning their fitness for parenting • Encouraging other moms to know that we can do the hard things of motherhood, even when we doubt our abilities. • Sharing practical applications and also ideas that can be helpful in keeping ourselves mentally and physically fit for motherhood. We would love to have you with us every week as we talk together through topics that are important to us (and hopefully you!), interview other moms who are walking through all the different issues that come with the different stages of motherhood, and bond together over the things we have in common that truly make us fit for motherhood.
