Today we are having a conversation, mama, about how I moved past food rules and into food freedom, and how YOU can do it, too.

Hey Mama!

We are diving DEEP today, and into getting honest with ourselves.  

We are talking all about DESIRE today, and how it trips us up sometimes and what we can do instead. 

Be sure to check out the notes AND self reflection prompts that go with this episode today at amandafishercoaching.com/60

Thank you for being here, mama!

Welcome back, mama!

In this episode, I'm helping you understand the difference between workout PROGRAMS and stand alone workouts, and why a PROGRAM might be the thing you are after if you desire body connection, more strength, improvement in some area in your fitness, etc.  

I'm sharing in this one how to maximize the few and precious minutes you have to workout and make the most out of them....with a workout PROGRAM. 

I'm sharing why you might be spinning your wheels when you lean on random workouts inside of your fitness, and not following a specific program that allows you to grow month after month and get better at certain areas inside of your movement, strength, flexibility, mobility, stability, EVERYTHING.  

Following a strength training PROGRAM has been the catalyst to look back month after month and going OMG....look at this kick ass shit that I'm accomplishing, this feels GOOD.  This feels PURPOSEFUL.  This feels CONNECTED.  This feels AMAZING.  

Journal Prompts/Self Reflection on this episode:  

1) How do I WANT to feel about how I intentionally move my body?  

2) Is my current approach to intentional movement giving me this?  

3) Am I sacrificing feeling how I want to feel from my intentional movement because I think I need to complicate the shit out of my workouts and fitness and intentional movement?

4) How could I approach intentional movement WHILE incorporating back into that FEELING that I desire?

Hey Mama!

Welcome back!

Today I'm sharing three SIMPLE tricks to boost your workout motivation without even......really trying, lol.

I mean, how nice is that?

I'm chatting about these today, because I'm also living and breathing them RIGHT NOW.  In the last month, I've used all three and holy shit, what a shift, I have SUCH a zest for my workout program right now, it isn't even funny.  

So, of course, I'm curious....which of these three might get you some SERIOUS mileage if you used it?  I am all ears!  Share with me inside the Mom Boss Tribe Facebook group!

And....let's not forget (because I don't want you to miss out)...Mom Boss Lifestyle is welcoming radass mamas through July 31 into our monthly mindset + muscles membership --> amandafishercoaching.com/lifestyle

Hey mama!

So, welcome to this weeks episode where I'm gonna get you right in the feels, lol.

But seriously.  In this episode, I'll be helping you work through one of the biggest issues I see with moms who crave working out and that connection with their body....and then end up bailing on their workouts or never starting.  

I have a little exercise in this one to honestly, give you a holy shit moment, and to help you connect with a part of yourself that maybe you didn't even realize you had.  Jump into the Mom Boss Tribe Facebook group and let me know how this went down for you!

Also, the Mom Boss Lifestyle program is enrolling during July!  I'd LOVE to have you take a peek at it if you feel like you want to grow your muscles AND your mindset at the very same time.  Link --> amandafishercoaching.com/lifestyle

Welcome back to the Mom Boss Tribe Podcast, mama!  

Today we are talking about TWO very different energies that we bring to our intentional movement - our workouts - and how they come from where you are at with body image.  

I'm sharing four mindsets/personas where I typically see mamas coming from with their body image and what every it brings to their workouts:

Persona 1) Does how you look make you grossed out and want to change your body right now?

• Short term motivation
• Driven by looks and not feels

Persona 2) Do you feel like you've let yourself go?

• Feeling faulty, broken, like you failed at something
• Basing worth on looks and not, well, just waking up being enough today

Persona 3) Do you compare your workouts to what you think Mama Mindy is doing down the road to look like however she looks?

• Find yourself pinning free workouts and following instagram fitness models because you feel like that's the ideal because it isn't where you are right now
• Feeling not enough compared to everyone else

Persona 4) Do you notice your body craving certain activities?  Maybe movement, maybe walks, maybe strength training, maybe an activity that allows you to feel in touch with your body just a little or a lot?

• Hmmmmm tuning in to what your body is asking of you
• Acknowledging your body needs something, and you give it
• My body = something that likes to move, I respect it and give it what it is asking

These are all super simple examples, of course.

But the energy that we are coming at workouts with matters, mama.  You can come from a lack mindset (IE, I'm flawed, broken, gross, not enough) and be driven to workout because you need to not be in the place you are right now.  Probably you might have some short term motivation here, but it won't likely last.  

What if you come from this energy of respect, love, care….what's my body asking from me today?  Then giving it. Evolving into that. Allowing yourself. Prioritizing yourself. Loving yourself.  Building up that hot mess express broken body image? Sure, sometimes you aren't going to want to workout, but the energy you are coming from here is how can I choose me and my body today?  

One of these energies feels wonderful, loving, caring, and maybe even NEW for you.  One of these energies feels frantic, like you can't wait to get out of this space and change everything about yourself like yesterday.

One of these will make your workouts easier basically forever.  With ebbs and flows of course.

One of these will make you feel like you need to keep looking and looking and looking for the next program to guarantee your results or else.

Hope into the MBT group and share which you are, mama.

Oh, and I totally just restocked the MBT FREE Library with a core health assessment for you!  This little gem will help you understand what is happening inside your core, and how to make notes so you can track this monthly against your workouts to see if your workouts are making you better (or not).  Grab yours FREE! → amandafishercoaching.com/free

I wanted to tell you that you might feel heavy sometimes, mama. And that when you feel that way, your natural reaction might be to immediately go to.... I need to workout more. I need to skip carbs today. I should try and lose some weight. We woman like to go to that place easily, sometimes, don't we?  Always assuming that when we feel a certain way, we can "fix" it by fixing our size our appearance to fix the feelings we have. Now, while I love a good lifting session, or love a good vegetable alongside something that I'm eating....I also KNOW (trust me, I have years of bullshit unpacked around this topic, lol), that fixing with food and fitness is usually the WORST place to start.   Actually, I don't even like to use the term "fixing."  I'd prefer investigating, coming to terms with, reflecting, leaning in.....definitely prefer those to "fixing."   And that leaning in stuff, well.....the first place to start with those is between our EARS.   And so today, I'm sharing WHY the heavy feeling probably has ZERO to do with your food or fitness.  And where to start when you are feeling them.  This one is personal.   Watch this one Live Alright, I'm all ears on where YOU feel heaviness coming up, mama.  All ears.  Let's chat.    - Amanda And PS - if you need help IDENTIFYING the heaviness by creating space, check out Thrive Like A Boss.  This is MY way to help you quiet down, get back to yourself, and create a big damn buffer between you/your brain and life, mama.  

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one, mama!  

I want to hear ALL the ways you are going to honor your good.  ALL the ways.  

Here's a journal prompt to follow after listening to this episode:

Go on a rampage of why you kick so much ass. Why things get to go your way just because they get to and not because you had to do/earn/sacrifice/struggle for all the good things to come your way. Go on a rampage of all the good shit that is happening in your life.

Sometimes, dear mama, we look for the struggles more than the good. Which......wires us to look for more struggles and see less good.

Feed your brain like you would feed your body. Sometimes just spending time feeling good about feeling good is a great way to drop the struggle 🤩

Lmk when you've tried this inside the Mom Boss Tribe!

You know what, mama?

Sometimes self care doesn't feel like it is super fun.  Sometimes self care doesn't feel like it makes sense.

And sometimes self care feels really awkward, and messy.  

But....as we keep going....we get more and more clear on WHAT is really important to us.  What REALLY makes sense for us.  What REALLY is our right next step.

So, I mean....sometimes I love a good bubble bath and call that self care.  But truthfully, self care is way more nitty gritty than that, and doesn't really feel all that sexy, but ultimately it makes me way mo betta.

I would love to hear how this one resonates with you.  Where in YOUR life are you working through something like this right now?  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  

If you would prefer to WATCH this episode, head to the Mom Boss Tribe and you can see it here.  

Also, if you are LOCAL to me, I have a kickass OUTDOOR strength training opportunity for you this summer!

So, are you the mama who craves implementing self care but….can't seem to follow through on that craving?

I got you, mama.  This week's podcast episode is ALL ABOUT the four ways mamas tend to get in their own way and NOT implement self care….or at least implement for more than three days.  You know...that whole consistency piece.

Here are the four ways:

• You are a BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL plan maker and love feeling excited about how good you are going to feel when you execute this plan.
• You are a perfectionist who loves following things to a T.
• You love the idea of self care and recognize the importance of it, but….you don't believe you can ACTUALLY do this.
• You run and hide when things feel hard.

Yassss, mama.  I'm diving into ALL FOUR of those ways we get in our own way on the podcast AND I'm sharing exactly what to do for each of those ways so you can take those nuggets and RUN WILD with them.  

Alright, can I ask?  Which way seems to be the one that is happening most for YOU?  Tag me on instagram and share with me!
