If you’ve ever looked at another mom and thought, “How on earth does she work full-time, chase kids, and stay fit?”—this chat is for you.

I’m sitting down with my friend Courtney Hendricks, mom of two high-energy boys, 9-to-5 HR professional, and self-proclaimed gym lover who somehow makes space for strength training without letting anything (or anyone) fall through the cracks.

Here’s what we unpack:

Micro-workouts that actually add up

Sneaky protein tricks even picky eaters don’t notice

Why she ditched perfect and started aiming for done—and the mindset shift that freed her from mom-guilt

How she flexes her workout split in every season

Food tracking: when a quick log helps, and when it’s one more plate you don’t need to spin

The magic of strength training for women 

🎧 Hit play for practical “mom hacks” you can start using before the episode ends—and a giant dose of “you’ve totally got this.”
