Finding time to get a workout in after motherhood is difficult. This week, I'm joined with Rachel Goeman, a personal trainer and mom to 3. Together, we unpack the beauty of small victories and the transformative journey of motherhood that reshapes our identities and approaches to wellness.

We explore how motherhood has redefined not only our bodies but our mental fortitude, as we tackle those internal dialogs that challenge our motivation. From the 'all-or-nothing' mindset to the 'I can't do it' anthem, we lay out strategies to flip the script and celebrate exercise as an immediate source of joy, rather than an arduous task.

This episode is more than just a chat; it's an invitation to join a community of moms who find strength in their roles and embrace the ebbs and flows of motherly life, all while fostering resilience for themselves and their little ones.

Ever feel like motherhood is an unforgiving juggling act? You're not alone. That's why I've invited Ashley Blackington, an occupational therapist turned CEO of Dovetail Designs, to share her game-changing strategies for transforming the chaos of family life into a harmonious symphony. She created the Dovetail® framework by combining her 12+ years of clinical experience, research, and the lived experience of trying to, collaboratively, run a busy home with her husband.

As we peel back the layers of home management, we uncover the essential role of visual systems and effective communication in achieving balance. Ashley's planner isn't just a schedule—it's a revolution, integrating self-care and reflection into the fabric of family organization. We delve into how these tailored tools can liberate mental space and promote individual and collective well-being.

If you've ever found yourself longing for a moment of peace amidst the whirlwind of parenting, this episode is your blueprint for crafting a space where personal growth and family planning coexist.
