I’m very excited to welcome my very first guest, Christine Lavopa, onto the podcast today!

Christine is a certified personal trainer, health and wellness coach, former fitness competitor turned military spouse, and mom of two kids. She’s created a business and coaching program that is geared towards busy moms, because that is who she is (and she gets it!) Christine helps moms by using a whole body approach with time-saving fitness, sustainable nutrition, habits, and a positive mindset.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

-Christine’s background in the health and fitness space

-What Christine’s postpartum fitness routine was like after having her first baby and her husband being deployed

-Finding a balance with workouts that you actually enjoy + fit into your day and season of life

-How Christine helps her clients set realistic goals (especially with strength training)

-Christine’s 8-year-long battle with an eating disorder

-Helping clients who have the ‘all or nothing’ mentality with their health and fitness

-How much cardio is beneficial on a weekly basis

-Helping clients with a successful calorie deficit when they’re ready

-The importance of actually changing your habits and mindset for the long-term

I truly loved having Christine on the show; SO much goodness and wisdom is packed into this episode! I definitely resonate with her approach to fitness, and how she is helping her clients. 

Christine and I both believe that your best investment will always be your health, and ultimately, it comes down to unlocking the right habits and mindset for you.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
