What’s your go-to social media platform?
Mine’s Instagram. Send me a good Golden Retriever reel, and I’m a happy girl!

Here’s the thing — social media is entertaining, even educational at times. But it’s also stealing your time.

As busy moms, our time is precious. Yet we’re letting it slip away with every swipe, tap, and comment. On average, moms spend 2.5 hours a day scrolling social media.

So when I hear moms say, “I just don’t have enough time to work out,” or “I don’t have time to cook,” or “I can’t log my calories,” I pause and ask — “How much are you scrolling each day?”

Most of them fall right into that average. Be honest — is that you too?

Don’t worry, I’ve been there! In this episode, I’m sharing how taking 8 months off social media completely changed my life — and how it helped me reach one of my biggest goals.

You’ll learn how your social habits might be holding you back, keeping you stuck, and even crushing your confidence.

And after coming back online, I’ve realized something: I’m reliving what feels like a full-blown addiction — and I know it’s time to say goodbye for good.

It’s time to refocus your energy away from your phone and into your health and weight loss — towards the results you’ve been trying so hard to achieve.

Are you tired of starting over every Monday? In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact 5-step formula I used to finally lose the baby weight, keep it off, and build a lifestyle that lasts — no fad diets, no extreme plans, no guilt.

If you’re a busy mom who feels stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle of dieting, this episode will show you how to build real momentum toward lasting weight loss — one small, simple step at a time.

I’ll share my personal story of hitting rock bottom after baby #2, how I went from surviving on Starbucks and fast food to feeling confident, strong, and energized again — and the 5 key steps that got me there.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why making a firm decision (and knowing your “why”) is the real starting line for change
✅ How to simplify nutrition so it finally makes sense (and works for your lifestyle)
✅ What movement you actually need to start losing weight — even with zero time
✅ How to plan and implement without feeling overwhelmed
✅ Why “never starting over” is the key mindset shift to lifelong success
