Exercising, overall wellness, and fitness are associated with weight loss. Social pressure pushes people, especially women, to pursue the perfect body, a flat stomach, and elite athletes' body fat levels. 

Our guest, Andrea Meyer, mother of three kids, a lovely boy, and a pair of beautiful twin girls, decided to do something to change that narrative. She believes that exercising is about feeling good in our bodies. It is about feeling a better spouse, mom, and partner.

Andrea is the Founder of Real Tired Mama Coaching and is passionate about helping other women find their inner athletes. She is all about guiding women to find the motivation that resides within them and discover a way to put their physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness first.

We had a fantastic conversation about Andrea's transition from corporate America to entrepreneurship, the social pressure on women to look in a certain way and the true purpose of exercising. We delve into the importance of mothers taking the time to heal to regroup after giving birth, how Real Tired Mama came to life, reinforcing the idea of simply moving our bodies, and how crucial it is to give ourselves credit for every small win.
