So many parents feel stuck with their health…

And it’s not because you’re lazy.
Or because you don’t know what to do.

It’s because you’re making decisions from the version of you who’s exhausted, overwhelmed, and just trying to survive the day.

When you’re tired…
When everyone needs you…
When life feels full before it even starts…

Of course you default to:
“I don’t have time.”
“I’ll start when things calm down.”
“Now isn’t the right moment.”

Those aren’t failures.
They’re survival decisions.

But progress doesn’t come from doing more.

It comes from making choices from the version of you who wants to feel strong, energized, and present again.

That looks like:
✅ consistency over intensity
✅ showing up imperfectly instead of not at all
✅ prioritizing your health even when life is busy

You don’t need hours in the gym.
You don’t need to overhaul your life.
You just need a starting point that actually works for parent life.

And that version of you?
She’s closer than you think 🤍

If this hit home, this is exactly what we do inside the Power Parent Program...rebuild strength, energy, and confidence without sacrificing your family or your sanity.

We’re thinking about hosting a FREE live Metabolic Masterclass for busy parents who want fat loss and more energy without restriction or burnout.

If we taught the simple 3 step system we use to support metabolism, lose weight sustainably, and stay consistent with real life…
would you want in?

Drop a 🔥 if yes and we’ll send details when it’s live 😉

No one tells moms this part.

That the constant “being needed”
the never-ending noise
the lack of rest
the pressure to always be okay

It doesn’t just make you tired.
It changes your nervous system.

That’s why so many moms say:
“I feel empty.”
“I love my kids but I don’t feel like myself.”
“I’m doing everything and still falling apart.”

What looks like:
• snapping at your kids
• feeling numb
• losing your spark
• crying over nothing

When a woman doesn’t get true rest...not sleep, not scrolling, but actual relief from demand...her system stays in fight or flight. Cortisol stays high. Dopamine and serotonin drop. The brain stops feeling safe.

And eventually, the body adapts the only way it knows how.

By shutting down.

And here’s the part that matters most:

Taking care of yourself isn’t something you earn after everyone else is okay.
It’s what keeps you okay for everyone else.

Strong moms aren’t the ones who never stop.
They’re the ones who know when to support their body before it forces them to.

If this hit close to home, let this be your permission to let go a bit.
You matter too.

And taking care of yourself isn’t selfish...
it’s survival, regulation, and love in its most honest form.

We didn’t sit him down and explain nutrition.
We didn’t lecture him about “good” vs “bad” foods.

He’s just been watching.

Watching how we talk about food.
Watching how we fuel our bodies.
Watching how we treat ourselves.

Our kids will model our behaviour — whether we want them to or not.

So instead of trying to be perfect,
we try to be intentional.

We show them:

Food is fuel, not something to fear

Eating is about supporting your body

Taking care of yourself is normal

Because the foundation we set now
becomes the habits they carry into adulthood.

This isn’t about raising kids who eat “perfectly.”
It’s about raising kids who trust their bodies,
respect their health,
and feel confident taking care of themselves one day.

That’s the long game.
That’s the legacy 🤍

Tag a parent who’s trying to do this too.

This is why January plans fail parents👇

If the pattern is:

✅ strong for 2–3 days
❌ sick kid / no sleep / chaos
❌ guilt + takeout + “I blew it”

That’s not willpower and motivation, it’s the plan.

3 traps that take parents out:
1) all-in Monday
2) under-fueling early → afternoon crash + snacky nights
3) cutting out everything enjoyable → rebound

Do this instead:

✅ minimum standards on chaos days
✅ fuel earlier with a simple structure
✅ flexible consistency that survives real life

Want our simple January plan? DM JANUARY.

Want a realistic 90-day plan mapped to your schedule? Book a quick call in our bio.

It’s time to do January differently this year 🙌

This one’s for our clients. 🤍

The parents who showed up in 2025 — not perfectly, but consistently.
Who stopped chasing extremes and started building trust with their bodies.
Who learned how to fuel themselves without guilt.
Who chose progress over punishment.

Yes — bodies changed.
But more importantly, mindsets changed.

• less all-or-nothing
• less self-blame
• more confidence
• more energy
• more belief in themselves

They didn’t just lose weight.
They gained control, clarity, and the ability to stay consistent when life got messy.

And that’s the real transformation.

If you’re watching this thinking,
“I want that kind of support… that kind of change…”

DM us SUPPORT and we’ll show you what this could look like for you. 🤍

“What if I don’t get my body back after kids?”

I’m no different than you...
this crossed my mind so many times in those early days.

When my body felt unfamiliar.
When I had zero energy.
When I wondered if this was just how it was now.

No one really prepares you for that part.

But here’s what I learned:

The goal was never to go back.

What if instead of chasing your old body,
you gave yourself permission to build a new one?

One that’s strong.
One that supports your energy.
One that fits the life you’re living now.

Not smaller.
But maybe even stronger?
And supported.

Your body isn’t gone forever.
It’s changed and thank goodness because this ‘new’ body is capable of becoming even stronger than before.

Sometimes you don’t “get your body back.”
Sometimes…you come back stronger.

I think the belief I want to leave behind in 2025…

is the one that whispers:
“You’re not doing enough.”
“You’re not producing enough.”
“You’re capable of more.”

Because if I’m honest…
that version of me has been running the show more than I’d like to admit.

Even on the good days.
Even when things are going well.
Even when people are proud of me.

There’s still this invisible pressure to earn my worth by doing more.

More content.
More clients.
More perfect mornings.
More patience.
More progress.
More proof that I’m good.

And I’m tired of chasing that finish line…
because it never moves closer.

So in 2026, I want to choose a new belief.
I want to believe that good enough is enough.

That being a good enough mom… is enough.
That being a good enough coach… is enough.
That being present, loving, and trying… is enough.

Not perfect.
Not flawless.
Not always calm.
Not always productive.
Just… enough.

But honestly? Being ‘good enough’ makes me super uncomfortable. I’ve never known how to do less, not strive for ‘great’ or perfect even.

But I also know my son doesn’t need a mother who does everything.
He needs a mother who feels safe in herself.
Who isn’t too tired and burnt out.

So here’s what I’m leaving behind:

The version of me who believes she has to constantly prove her worth.
The version of me who measures her value in output.
The version of me who feels like rest has to be earned.

And here’s what I’m stepping into:

A woman who is allowed to be proud.
A woman who can breathe.
A woman who can be both ambitious and soft.
A woman who trusts that the life she’s building…is already meaningful.

Good enough.
Is enough.

And I’m walking into 2026 with that belief along with all our clients who voiced the same this year 🤍
