My biggest mom hack? Stop treating nap time like your second shift…

Do your hair while they’re awake. Make the appointment. Put on your makeup. Let them watch you do normal human things.

Then when nap time rolls around, you can do something wild like sit on the couch and watch a show… or stare at a wall in peace🙃

Plot twist: you don’t have to hate your body in order to take care of it 💪

The idea of moving from a place of joy vs. compulsion is what WILL create consistency in your practice. I’ve worked with hundreds of women and one of the biggest shifts I’ve noticed is when they choose to consistently show up for the 10-20 minute workout daily, rather than waiting for the one hour a week that rarely happens.

Movement can be something that you ACTUALLY look forward to. But it starts with changing your mindset.

Some days it’s chaotic, some days I’m answering emails with a snack in my hand, some days I’m doing sessions while breastfeeding, and some days I wonder how I’m supposed to get anything done.

But getting to be here for the little moments? I’ll take that kind of “rich” any day.

Yes, this lift was heavy. But all the lifting we do in motherhood has weight that can’t be measured.

If you ask me, the physical weight is a whole lot easier to carry.

10 minutes > waiting for an hour you don’t have.

This is a sequence I keep revisiting because it’s quick, efficient and has completely transformed my upper body.

6-8 reps with heavy weights (using 15s), 2x through

SAVE for the next time you need extra pep in your bicep 💪

Proof that you don’t need a reformer (or home gym that looks like a fitness studio) to get a great workout.

A theraband is one of my favorite pieces of equipment to challenge strength and stability and increase mobility.

SAVE for the next time you need a little inspiration ✨

Consider this whole sequence a mini vacation for your shoulders and spine. She would like a little attention that doesn’t involve carrying a baby/ toddler, a laundry basket, and everyone’s emotional baggage 😘

Yes, motherhood is hard.
But I wonder how much harder we make it on ourselves.

We consume more.
We research more.
We plan more.
We question more.
We compare more.

And somewhere along the way, we stop listening to our own intuition and start believing that mothering is black and white and there is a “right” way to do it.

The more I tune out the outside noise the more I realize motherhood isn’t complicated.
We’re just making it complicated.
