Magan Hendry and Brandi Wigley tackle a question every busy mom has asked herself: When is the best time to start working on your health? Spoiler alert—it’s not “when life calms down.” From sick kids to packed calendars and shifting routines, they unpack the mindset that keeps us stuck waiting and show you how to reclaim your power, even when life feels messy.

Whether you’re a working mom, stay-at-home parent, or somewhere in between, this episode will light a fire in your gut to stop waiting and start showing up—for your health and yourself.
