April 13, 2020 Becoming a Master Pivoter | BM 02

Are you a worn-out mom who can’t remember the last time she did something for herself? Do you feel like you’re living your life for your family?

In this podcast episode, Melissa Vogel talks about how to become a master pivoter, which is the first pillar of being a Bomb Mom.

In This Podcast

Summary

* What it means to be a ‘Bomb Mom’
* The five pillars of being a Bomb Mom
* The definition of a ‘Mom Blob’
* How to become a master pivoter
* Three tips to take action today

What it Means to be a ‘Bomb Mom’

The term ‘bomb’ can mean explosive, powerful, and just freaking cool. Back in the day, we used to use the term ‘bombshell’ for a woman. Right now, you can live your life as Bomb Mom!

5 Pillars of Being a Bomb Mom

A Bomb Mom is…

* A Master Pivoter
* Has an Active Lifestyle
* Has a Determined Mindset
* Acts ‘As If’
* Is Inspirational

It may feel like it’s impossible to fulfill this definition of being a Bomb Mom. I felt that too in the beginning! But then, I realized that that was all a lie.

All your excuses are just your opinion, they are not fact. You have 110% the potential to become this Bomb Mom!

It all starts with your mindset. Your mind is the general that tells your troops, your body, what it needs to do. If you think you can, you’re right. And, if you think you can’t, you’re also right.

The ‘Mom Blob’

When I had kids, I figured that was what my life would be like for the rest of my life. This was based on the example of my mother and aunts and other women I had seen do it. The term I came up with to describe this was a ‘Mom Blob’.

This is absolutely fine if it’s the way you want to live your life, but I decided, once my kids became more independent, that I wasn’t ok with just being ok. I opened my mind up to the possibility of being something more than just a soft mom that drives a minivan. Also, I didn’t want to be ‘fit for having three kids’.

I didn’t just want to be someone’s mom.

There I was, wanting to have my own identity while still kicking ass at being a mom. Learning how to become a Bomb Mom has helped me grow and has altered the direction of my life. It’s given me permission to want more.

At times, the narrative of being a mother more fits the ‘Mom Blob’ description than the ‘Bomb Mom’ description. I’m here to remind you that you can be awesome!

The Struggling Mom

Speaking to many women every week, I’ve realized that moms are not ok. Women are stuck. They feel like they have lost themselves and are living their lives for someone else. It’s a crazy phenomenon happening in our backyards, and is really sad.

Losing yourself to motherhood is a scary place to be.

‘Busy’ and ‘activity’ doesn’t equal achieving your goals. Yet, when women realize that they are unhappy with their life, they try something new. A new shake, a new fitness routine, something that comes off as super easy and promises to give the best results. And true,

In this podcast episode, Melissa Vogel takes you on her journey from hitting rock bottom to becoming a bomb mom, what you can expect in this podcast and how she can help you on your journey.

In This Podcast

Summary

* I know the struggle
* About me
* The first time I stepped into a gym
* Motherhood changed me
* The vow I made

I am your fearless leader and this podcast is going to change your life as I am going to keep you motivated, inspired and take you on a journey of being a mom, actress, model, and personal trainer!

I know the struggle

I firmly believe that woman deserve to hear the truth, and I want you to hear it from someone who gets it.

I’m a real mom, and I know the struggles of raising kids, working, maintaining a household, trying to have a social life and then on top of that, workout, eat right and be the PTA mom…

Here I want to cover all the issues that nobody else will admit to. I take pride in being a real genuine person and that is something I think we are losing a lot these days, especially with social media.

About me

I was not the little girl in glitter and sparkles, I didn’t wear no tutu.

I am a mom of three girls and was born and raised in Saginaw Michigan, and now live in California. My mom was a stay at home mom and my dad was a cop, he was very into working out and our basement was literally a gym. He was also really into martial arts so I grew up doing it.

My sensei was really tough but it taught me the discipline and respect I still use to this day.

The first time I stepped into a gym

I loved that I could stand in a room and motivate that many people at once.

In high school, I was walking down the hall and I see this flyer that says ‘looking for someone to clean gym equipment in exchange for a gym membership’. I was so excited, grabbed the opportunity! This was my first entry into a gym. I absolutely loved it!

I used the weight equipment and started self-training. They also had classes and I started doing classes with them. The instructor noticed that I was really good at it. She took me under her wing and started showing me how to teach the class. Before I knew it, they asked me if I wanted to start teaching, at the age of 15!
I was soon teaching multiple classes and working so hard just get food on the table. After all this time of teaching classes, people eventually started to approach me and asked me to train them. I wasn’t certified at this point but the gym paid for me to get my group certification done.
Motherhood changed me

I was overweight, I was out of shape and I was in this body that I did not recognize

Fast forward, I got married and had my first baby. 6 weeks later I was doing a lingerie shoot, I bounced back so quickly! My second pregnancy was very different. I nearly lost my baby at 5 months and even after she was born we were in and out of the hospital. My third baby was a surprise. And this pregnancy was hard on me as well and I put on 60 pounds.
When my third baby was 8 months old, I was trying to work out again and was losing some weight but it was very sporadic. At one point I was on the floor and I was doing mountain climbers… My stomach was hitting my thighs.
