Ep 075 - Reclaiming Your Health as a Busy Ambitious Mom
On this episode of Redefining Motherhood, I discuss the surprising results of a recent survey I conducted with my community. While over half of the respondents felt their careers and motherhood were in a good place, the number one struggle they reported was their health and fitness. This really resonated with me, as I've been there myself. A year ago, I was struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, and my health and fitness had taken a backseat. But, I made the conscious decision to prioritize my physical and mental well-being, and it's made all the difference. I now wake up early to exercise, meal prep, and plan out my week - and the results have been incredible. I've lost 30 pounds, 15-17 inches, and 5-6% body fat over the past year. I encourage my listeners to do the same. Take a hard look at your schedule and identify those pockets of time you may be wasting on mindless social media scrolling or Netflix binges. Reallocate that time to activities that nourish your body and mind, whether it's a workout, meal planning, or even just 10 minutes of meditation. Making your health a priority will pay dividends in how you show up as a mother, partner, and professional. If you're struggling to figure out where to start, don't worry - I plan to bring on more health and fitness experts to share their tips and strategies. I'm also always open to feedback, so please let me know if there are specific topics you'd like me to cover. Together, we can redefine what it means to be a thriving and healthy Mother!
