💖 Hey Mama,

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your fitness journey, wondering why the things that used to work just aren’t cutting it anymore, this episode is for you! I’m chatting with Rachel DeSonier, a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer, all about the power of routine strength training for moms.

She shares her personal story of struggling with weight loss after multiple pregnancies, how she discovered strength training, and why it became a game-changer for her—and the moms she now coaches. We also dive into realistic tips for busy moms, overcoming gym intimidation, and why focusing on muscle over cardio can transform your energy, body composition, and your identity.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by fitness advice or just need an purposeful plan to start feeling strong again, you won’t want to miss this conversation!

Key Takeaways
  • Why traditional cardio isn’t always the answer to weight loss
  • How a strength training routine reshapes your body (even for busy moms!)
  • The surprising link between muscle, stress relief, and the power of a changed identity in mom life
  • How busy moms can fit workouts in—even when it feels overwhelming 
  • Tips for embracing your identity as a weight lifting mom who feels confident in the weight room
  • The simple post-workout habit that helps build muscle effectively
  • Cheering you on 🎉,

    Aubree
