POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Three months ago, I could barely run 1 km without getting out of breath. Yesterday, my baby girl and I finished over 10 km together 🏅🩷

When I first committed to this, I honestly thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” I did my best with each day, and slowly my confidence grew…not just from running further, but from following through on something I said I would do!!

Training meant lifting during her naps or bringing her to the gym with us at night. Stroller runs meant packing everything, timing it around her mood and making sure she was comfortable before we could even get going. Some days I missed a workout, some runs were awful, but I kept coming back.

I needed this for myself, and having her along made yesterday mean so much more. She won’t remember it, but one day I hope I can show her these photos and say, “We did that together.”

And to the momma’s wondering if she can take on something for herself again, I hope seeing where I started gives you a little courage to try🩷

PS. This song was literally on REPEAT the whole race😂

I made this Reel for the women who feel like they lost parts of themselves somewhere between pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, exhaustion and taking care of everyone else.

Getting fit again was never just about changing my body.

It was about feeling strong again. Having something that was mine. Building confidence and creating structure in a season that can feel completely chaotic.

And I know so many women following me are in that exact place right now.

If you’re ready to start rebuilding your strength, your routine and yourself

DM me “START” and I’ll send you the details on my 1:1 coaching.

Sometimes I think about how different life could’ve been. Multiple IUIs, a round of IVF, so many times I prayed this would be the time. But if any of those attempts had worked, it wouldn’t have been her. A different month, a different egg, a different moment… a different little person.

Back then, every delay felt like something going wrong. Now I look at her and think maybe the timing had to be exactly what it was, because somehow, it all led me to her🤍

In January, I wasn’t thinking about a finish line.

I was postpartum, wanted to lose the baby weight, and wasn’t sure where to start. I needed to work on my mindset, too. So I got support.

Having a coach meant I had guidance instead of constantly questioning what to do next. I still had to do the work, but I had someone helping me figure it out. As I became more consistent, my confidence grew. Then I wanted a goal beyond losing weight. Something that would make me proud of what my body could do.

That’s when I decided to try running. Three months of training around naps, taking her along in the stroller, and making it work even when it was inconvenient.

Then this weekend, my husband filmed us crossing my first 10K finish line. And I put my medal on the little girl who had been beside me through the whole training 🙏🩷

This started with wanting to feel better in my body. Along the way, I started trusting myself again.

If you’re a mom who wants to start but feels unsure how, DM me “MAMA.” We’ll talk about your goals and how my 1:1 coaching could fit your life.

I didn’t suddenly have more time after becoming a mom, in fact it was quite the opposite! I had to figure out how to make movement fit.

Some days that meant packing the stroller and hoping she was in a good mood. Others, my husband took over so I could train. Some workouts were shorter than planned but they still counted.

Little by little, I started trusting myself again. Having something to work towards felt good and my confidence came from doing the things I promised myself I would do no matter the circumstances.

If you’re a mama wanting to feel stronger but unsure where to start, my DMs are open. We can find a way that fits your life 🏃‍♀️💛

I don’t want my daughter growing up thinking exercise is something you do because you hate your body or that food needs to be earned.

I want her to see me lifting weights, running races, eating proper meals and making time for myself, even when life gets chaotic. She’s watching more than I realize, and I know one day she’ll pick up on the way I treat myself.

You deserve to feel strong in your body too. DM me “MAMA” for 1:1 fitness and nutrition coaching that fits your life with your kids🩷

Infertility is wild because there is a heartbroken version of me who didn’t believe this life would be possible but kept showing up and trying anyway.

She was stronger than she knew and I’m so thankful for her🤍

Don’t mind the laundry in the back, it’s been waiting to be folded for 3 business days 😂

But seriously, motherhood has taught me that you don’t need more hours in the day, you need to learn how to work with the season of life you’re in.

I’ve been there. Trying to figure out how to prioritize myself again while being a mom, working and keeping a tiny human alive.

And I learned that getting back in shape doesn’t have to mean spending hours at the gym or following some unrealistic routine.

It’s about having a plan that works WITH your life, not against it.

That’s exactly what helped me rebuild my strength and confidence postpartum, and it’s what I now help other moms do through my 1:1 COACHING.

If you’re a mom struggling to find your rhythm with fitness, DM me MOM 🤍

Moms, you can love your family and still want something for yourself.

For me, it was finishing my first 10K with my daughter. But behind that finish line were months of training around naps, my husband caring for her when I trained alone, and a coach helping me work toward my goal.

The effort was mine BUT the support mattered🙏

Maybe you don’t want to run a race. Maybe you want to get stronger, lose weight, or feel comfortable in your body again. Those goals deserve time and support, too.

I’m a mom and a fitness coach, and this is what I help other moms do: build a training and nutrition plan around their actual lives, with guidance and someone in their corner.

DM me “MAMA” at @melissasassone for 1:1 coaching.

Tell me what you want to work toward, and let’s figure out your first step. 🤍 taken in Montreal, Quebec by @melissasassone
