Balancing work, kids + fitness: how to make it work without feeling overwhelmed

Feeling like there's never enough time in the day to work out, eat well, or even breathe some days? You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. In this episode, we’re flipping the script on the “I don’t have time” story and showing you how to build a routine that fits your real life, not a fantasy schedule.

You don’t have to choose between your kids, your career, and your goals. You just need a better plan—and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today.


In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ Why most moms feel like they don’t have time (but actually do)
✔️ The “time audit” hack that reveals hidden time leaks
✔️ How to stop over-scheduling yourself and create white space
✔️ Why short workouts get BIG results
✔️ How to get your family on board—without guilt
✔️ Realistic weekly schedule examples for busy moms



This episode is for you if…
→ You’re constantly juggling all the things and putting yourself last
→ You’ve been telling yourself you’ll “start when life slows down”
→ You want to feel strong, sexy, and energized without sacrificing your family or career
→ You’re ready to stop making excuses and finally follow a plan that works

Checking boxes vs. checking the RIGHT boxes

You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re just stuck in the cycle of doing what you think you’re supposed to do—instead of doing what actually gets results.


In this episode, I’m calling out the difference between busy work and needle-moving habits—and helping you shift out of survival mode into strategy mode.


Because walking more, drinking water, and eating a salad aren’t bad…
But if you’re constantly “checking the box” without actually moving closer to your goals? It’s time to audit what you’re doing.

🔁 The trap of doing more but getting nowhere

🛑 Common “feel-good” habits that are keeping you stuck

📦 What the WRONG boxes look like vs. the RIGHT ones

🎯 5 shifts to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress

🧠 A mindset reset for moms who feel like they’re doing all the things but seeing no results


✔ You’re tired of doing “everything right” and not seeing progress
✔ You feel like you’re just surviving your checklist instead of thriving in your life
✔ You want to stop wasting time and start doing what actually works for fat loss, energy, and confidence

Why Moms Keep Putting Themselves Last (And How to Stop)

you’re not just ‘busy.’


You’re the default parent. The meal planner. The one who knows exactly where the missing shoe is. You’re running on cold coffee and 4 hours of sleep, trying to hold it all together.


And somewhere between school drop-offs, work emails, and keeping everyone else alive…you stopped making yourself a priority.


That changes today. This episode is the kick in the booty that you need to get yourself on a plan that's actually going to work.

A BIG Pet Peeve On Social

"just wait until ____"

"Better get your sleep while you can"

"Kiss your free time goodbye"


When did a woman embarking on her motherhood journey become something to bitch about?


Instead of sitting on my phone, sharing tiktoks + reels about being a "shit show" or how I never have time for myself or how I haven't showered in 2 days, I address the issue.


Shit show mom is not a default. It's a choice.

    Mama's Sacrifices

    How many times have you skipped a workout because the kids needed something? Or maybe you’ve eaten their leftover mac and cheese for dinner instead of making yourself a proper meal because you’re just too tired. And let’s not even talk about the sleep deprivation—we’ll wake up at 2 a.m. to comfort a crying child but won’t go to bed early even when we know we need it.


    In this episode, we're working through the sacrifices of motherhood and incorporating ways to still prioritize YOU.

    Goal Setting That ACTUALLY WORKS

    There’s a big difference between setting goals and setting goals that you’ll ACTUALLY achieve.


    Only around 8-9% of people actually achieve their New Year’s resolutions + stick to them throughout the year.

    There’s also research that shows 23% of people quit by the end of the first WEEK and 43% quit by the end of JANUARY. That is WILD. 


    As someone who helps people achieve their goals FOR A LIVING – there are a few things I have found to make the biggest difference for people who achieve their goals vs those who never achieve them or are constantly on + off. 


    I’m going to walk you through a step by step process to help you set goals that you’ll actually achieve in 2025.
