Happy Sunday friends!

This holiday season is looking a little different this year, but we are still making the most of it! This one is clearly enjoying the new theme!

What are you guys doing this year? Any new family traditions that are going to stick?

✨I also wanted to take this time to send out a huge thank you to all the people who have taken any amount of time out of their days to follow along this far! It’s been a crazy year for all of us, but !

Wishing you all a 𝐻𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎 𝐻𝑜𝓁𝒾𝒹𝒶𝓎 ❤️🎄🥂

Countdown is on!

And I don’t just mean till Christmas, although I’m just as excited about this as I am about Christmas 🎄

We are just 2 days away from the early access launch of our NEWEST PROGRAM and it’s going to be EPIC!

9 weeks
5 days a week
ONLY 30 MINUTES A DAY,

That is all it is going to take to take back control!

Now we all can agree 2020 has been one hell of a year for us all! We have had our hardships and our triumphs, our highs and our lows but now is not the time to throw in the towel! NO, now is the time to pick ourselves up, believe in our abilities to kick ass and commit to starting 2021 off with one hell of a bang!

Believing in yourself is the first step to a whole new beginning!

Let’s do this together!

Whose ready to commit & give yourself the best Christmas present ever!

This was hard. Truthfully, everything has been hard lately. For many people, we surf Instagram and follow all the people who have {what seems like} it all figured out.

The perfect mom.
The perfectly fit 30 year old
The ladies with the perfectly designed houses with the perfectly placed decor.
The women with the perfect hair, perfect smile perfected makeup application.
The people who seem to be all around perfect.

And we sit and wonder, why not me? What is it that I’m doing wrong?

Well let’s get real:

Recently, about a month and a half ago, our family had a curve ball thrown into our lives. Suddenly what felt stable, wasn’t. Now don’t worry everyone’s okay, but my day to day routine crumbled. Suddenly I felt overwhelmed, over tired, over worked and really I went into survival mode.

I have spent years building a business centered around how health and fitness breads positivity in your life. Literally, I preached “when in doubt workout!” And suddenly when life got a hard I bailed on myself.

So today I decided to be with myself and everyone else....

It’s✨okay✨to✨not✨always✨be✨okay.

Let’s take that a step further...

It’s okay to not be 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕

It is also okay to give yourself grace when needed. What isn’t okay, is staying down. It’s been a long month and a half but it’s time to pick myself up and get going!

Today, I spoke to how I plan to do that and give some tips on how you can too!

I urge anyone else who needs a pick-me-up or a little Nudge in the same direction to reach out.

Watch till the end, I promise you I mean what I say!

Thanks for the support for all those who have sent DMs checking in and the ones who have helped nudge me back to

Ughhhhhhhhhhh 🤦‍♀️ {insert biggest eye roll of life}.

So how many of us have been there?

How do I get back to how I looked before? Diet pill, hardcore 6 week boot camp, starvation, breastfeeding, marathon stroller walks... the list goes on!

But it’s the same for all of us!

As soon as the high of having just given birth to this amazingly beautiful new born baby goes away.... that’s when it happens!?!?!

That daunting realization of all the extra skin, empty space and pulled apart muscles & the stretch marks start to creep in?

WTF? Why does this happen?
How many of you have been asked by someone how long it took for your body to go back to “normal”? I mean I’m almost certain when I was pregnant I asked every mom this question myself?

The moment we can, we hop right back on the workout train and push ourselves to our limits just so we can fit back into some jeans?

I mean don’t get me wrong, I wanted my body to go back to “normal” as fast as humanly possible! I wanted to not feel gross or like my body wasn’t my own! I get it! But I wanted it so badly I didn’t show my body the love and appreciation it deserved!

So often this is the case...

Mommas!!!
We grew a 👏 freaking 👏 human👏

Let’s say that again.

You grew a tiny human inside your body!!! Your body literally did this amazing thing by moving all the things out of the way in order to make this miracle!

I saw this quote on someone else’s insta story and it got me thinking. Let me preface this with: exercise and eating healthy is great for you and there is nothing wrong with wanting to get back to feeling like yourself post babe! Trust me I was that women... but for me all I can think of is how sad it is that we don’t give our body the praise that’s so well deserved. Nor do we give ourselves the grace we deserve.

I have been lucky to have been given the opportunity to have 2 beautiful babes. It did not come easily and there were definitely struggles after, but every stretch mark, umbilical hernia repair or extra inch around my waistline was absolutely worth it!

Tag a momma who could use a gentle reminder of how amazing they are!

Me: “hey Lil, what do you want for Christmas this year?”
Lily: “ Nothing huge mom, just a horse🤷‍♀️”

Sometimes it’s an absolute struggle to show up every single day, I mean even the best moms in the world make mistakes.

The key {I have found} is to continue to try your best! Just try each day to be the person that you want them to be.

—————————————————
I started out exercising because I had some major anxiety. Exercise was my outlet and man it worked.

But gradually as the weeks and months passed this little one went from watching and cheering me on ➡️ joining in for the occasional move➡️ asking when we are going to workout together! ❤️

My once outlet for anxiety has now turned into a fun mother daughter activity.

This is now something that just her and I can do together. It is also been an amazing conversation starter! With every workout comes new questions and conversations around why we exercise, body positivity, healthy weights, different body types & sizes, proper nutrition to fuel the body, what the difference is between strong & skinny, why people talk about exercise differently for men and women, etc the list could go on and on!

These at home workouts started because of one reason but now I continue them for so many other reasons.

I know many moms out there struggle to get moving each day, or to even take those 30 minutes for themselves, but trust me when I say, it’s totally worth it!

In the end you will begin to realize that those 30mins are for far more then just you! I promise, filling your own cup inevitably fills up the cups of those around you also✨

I challenge you to join in our virtual boot camp, it’s 30 days and a full money back guaranteed if you don’t fall in love with the process {because I’m that confident you will}

Send me a message or drop a comment below and let’s get started!

Happy { I mean weekend😉}

Truth be told I’ve been under the weather the past few days. There’s a bit of a head cold running through our household and this mama has gotten the brunt of it!

Today Mat asked me if I wanted to have some wine tonight once the kiddos go to bed, he followed quickly with “maybe it will make you feel better” 🍷🤷‍♀️

Clearly he knows me well❤️

Where are all my other non Susan’s out there?

Well, when you put it that way...

Learning to walk was exhausting.
Learning to ride a bike was difficult.
Learning to get over a broken heart was tough.
Learning to love after being hurt was painful.
Learning to love myself wasn't easy.

✨✨✨✨

But all of it has been worth it.

Here’s to raising little one knows that know their worth and love themselves unconditionally.

Tag a friend who has made your journey just a little bit easier.
