51. Why Your Fitness Routine May Not Be Sticking

It's the first week in a LONG time that I am solo on the podcast. I have been loving all of the guests that I have had on and am so thankful for our connections and great conversations. Make sure to check back on some of the past episodes to see what you've missed!

Today I am diving into WHY your fitness routine may not be sticking. Are you someone that set a New Years Goal or Intentions that was related to fitness. Check in with your self- how are you doing with that goal or intention now that we are almost into March?

SO often we set unrealistic goals for ourselves, especially when it comes to our health and fitness. Today I am breaking down why your goal may not be progressing and how to kick things back into gear in a way that sticks and that you want to continue on with lifelong. Yes, really. You can achieve your fitness goals and want to continue progressing and living that lifestyle!

You can find me on IG @caroline_prestano. I also share a ton of freebie information (fitness and nutrition related) on my website and blog www.presthelimit.com

As I mention in this episode, if you are struggling to find the workouts you enjoy or struggling to fit them into your current lifestyle and schedule, send me a message! We CAN make this work and I would love to help you out.

This week I have Kathryn Benko on the podcast as a guest. Kathryn and I connected through a podcasters group and quickly found that we have a lot in common! Kathryn is a first time Mama of a 6 month old little boy, a business owner, a wife and fitness enthusiast. Kathryn runs Sole Fitness out of her house as well as online. She is also the host of The Heart and Sole Podcast.

Today, Kathryn and I chat all about life as a business owner and a Mom. We touch on this expectation vs. reality as well as giving ourselves grace. It is SO easy to say that we need to give ourselves grace but actually doing it is the tricky part. Kathryn shares about the transition of becoming a new Mom while also figuring out maternity leave as a business owner and how she and her husband navigate both working from home with a little one.

Kathryn also shares more about her postpartum journey and the experience of trying to do some exercises that were once routine that are now a challenge as the body heals. I feel like lots of Mamas can relate to this; I know I could!

I hope that you guys enjoy this conversation between 2 Mamas just chatting all about the wild transition that is motherhood, figuring out time for ourselves, prioritizing our own fitness routines, being business owners, and just wearing all the hats.

This week I have Marta Sauret Greca on the podcast to talk all about female entrepreneurship and her minimalist method.

48. Intentional Parenting (w/ Caley Kukla)

This week I have Caley Kukla on the podcast as a guest. Caley works with parents on intentional parenting. She has a background in education and uses it to support parents in learning about their child's development in order to support them in their moments of disregulation.

Caley breaks down our child's development and why the heck they are able to do one thing one day and unable to do it the next (hello getting dressed)! She shares how our response will directly impact our child's response when they are feeling disregulated and how we could better approach the situation. We touch on the power struggle- what it is and how to avoid it. Whether you are a new mama like myself, a toddler mom or mama of an older child, I know that you will be able to take at least one (likely more) piece of advice from this episode!

This week I am SOLO on the podcast. I know that when I was in my third trimester I began to panic about not being prepared for motherhood. What would my schedule look like? Would I be getting zero sleep? How do I know what this baby wants? I needed a glimpse into what to expect. Being someone that likes to have control I really wanted something I could feel like I was doing to prepare. I also wanted to get a little further into postpartum before I could feel like I was giving useful advice.

I’m breaking down some of the things I did while I was still pregnant to prepare for postpartum and then some of the things that I did postpartum that helped me keep my sanity and some semblance of self care.

If you know a Mom that is newly postpartum or a Mama to be I would love for you to share this out! If you have some tips that really helped you during postpartum that I didn’t cover, reach out to me and share !
