“The kids, work, the house, the bills, the shopping…I do it all while maintaining a positive attitude and feeling good. I love my family and would not have it any other way. Sometimes, I wish I had enough time and energy to take better care of myself, but I don’t know where to start.”
Being a mom is hard.
It’s wonderful and amazing and beautiful, but it’s not easy.
You are constantly thinking about taking care of someone else.
You are giving your love, your time, your body, your sandwich, your energy, your compassion, your everything.
You are always planning your day around your kids’ schedules, whether they are little or grown!
When you are not cleaning up, you are probably prepping something or doing one of the 3984929 things you do daily to function.
If you aren’t doing something, you are thinking of doing something – which can be worse!!
You love your job as a mom, and you feel so lucky, but there is a part of you that wants to get yourself back.
You want someone to take care of you.
You want to feel light and less stressed.
You want to feel that your clothes fit well and that you have the energy to do all the things you want.
You want to feel confident that you are being the role model you want to be to your kids.
You want to feel amazing!
This is possible!
I promise.
As I try to balance my three girls, work, and everything else, I am constantly feeling the stress and pressure of life. I have found that when I take better care of myself through nutrition, mindset, and movement, I can handle everything so much better.
I used to rely on willpower to help me resist certain foods and on motivation to get me to work out.
Now I know better.
I know both of these things come and go.
They leave you when you need them most.
They are not there for you during the hard times. So I have found a better way.
Habits.
When you develop habits, you don’t need willpower or motivation. You have trained your brain to do things when you don’t want to.
You don’t need to spend so much time thinking about “if” you want to work; you just do it and feel amazing.
You don’t need to think about what you will make for dinner and “if” it will be healthy—it’s a habit.
Habits are the secret to a whole new world, and I have the perfect program to help you create the ones that fit your life.
