Read this if you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll start when…”

Because we’re gonna be straight with you:

Most moms aren’t held back by a lack of knowledge or even time.

They’re held back by the tiny thoughts that sneak in and convince them to wait, quit, or play small.

We call them self-limiting beliefs — and they sound like:

❌ “I’ll start after the kids go back to school / once things settle down.”

❌ “I barely have time to shower — how am I supposed to work out or meal prep?”

❌ “I’m just feeling overwhelmed.”

❌ “You’ll never ‘get your body back.’”

❌ “I just need motivation.”

Here’s the thing…

These aren’t facts.

They’re stories — ones you’ve been told (and maybe repeated to yourself) for years.

When you start questioning them?
You open the door for change.

💡 Life doesn’t have to slow down for you to start.

💡 You don’t need hours to make progress.

💡 You don’t need motivation — you need habits that work in the chaos.

If this hit home, you’re not alone — and you’re not stuck.

Follow us for more realistic fitness tips, mindset shifts, and support made for busy moms who want results that actually last. 💪💗

What life looked like before their transformation — and the moment they knew it was time for change.

Why other programs didn’t work, and what finally clicked this time.

How they’ve kept each other accountable and motivated through challenges.

The emotional side of weight loss, from gym anxiety to ongoing body image work.

Non-scale wins like carrying the weight they’ve lost, climbing stairs without help, and moving in ways they never thought possible.

Whether you’re on your own health journey or looking for inspiration, Sara and Trista’s story will motivate you to take that next step — and maybe even find your own “power partner” along the way.

For both Katie and I, it wasn’t uncommon to hear our moms say things like, “I look awful” or talking about being “too fat.”

Even 20 or 30 years later, those words still echo in our minds.

It’s no coincidence that we end up talking to ourselves the way our parents talked to themselves - as they likely learned it from their parents, and on and on.

🧠 According to research from Flinders University, maternal “fat talk” is strongly correlated with body dissatisfaction and lower self-esteem in daughters.

🔗 And as therapist Artie Wu writes, negative self-talk is often inherited like emotional DNA, passed down through generations unless we consciously break the cycle.

We want our daughter to grow up feeling strong and confident in her body

And if we want her to feel that, we have to model it. For her, and her children someday.

We still struggle at times with our body image.

We still slip up and say things about ourselves out loud that we shouldn’t.

And we have to stop each other with a “Hey babe - be kind to yourself.”But we’ve learned:

Just like with fitness, breaking the cycle doesn’t require perfection. It requires consistency. And consistency requires compassionate awareness, one slip up and negative thought at a time.

How often do you catch yourself saying something about your body that you wouldn’t want your daughter to hear or say about herself?

If it’s frequent, you’re not alone — but you can start rewriting a generational story today. 🌿

It’s not your willpower.
It’s not your body.
It’s the strategy you’ve been sold.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of:

→ Diet hopping
→ Cardio overload
→ Needing constant variety...

Here’s what you need to know:

✅ All diets work only if they help you stay in a consistent calorie deficit (Hall et al., NIH 2019)
✅ Exercise matters for health & body comp — but nutrition drives fat loss
✅ Repeating the same workouts & meals isn’t boring — it’s how your body adapts

📚 Research shows:

Your body burns only 5–10% of total calories through exercise (Pontzer, 2021)

Switching programs too often hinders fat loss and strength gains (Schoenfeld, 2016)

Repeat the boring stuff.
Build muscle.
Eat for your goals.
Stick with it long enough to see results.

“I used to turn away so my husband wouldn’t see me changing…”

Our client felt like her body wasn’t hers anymore.

Bloated. Puffy.
Frustrated that her gym routine wasn’t giving her the results she wanted.

But with structure, consistency, and real guidance — she’s feeling leaner, stronger, and more like herself than she has in years.

🧠 Most importantly?

She’s learned to be patient, to understand that results take time, and that her body now doesn’t need to look like it did at 23.

This transformation isn’t just about weight — it’s about confidence.

DM us “STRONG” if you’re ready for your own story. 💪
