Mom is the New Strong Podcast

Quiet quitting, the sneaky way that we let dreams go to die. Unfortunately, most of us are not even aware that we are doing this! Including myself. But once you become aware of it there is no going back. You have no choice but to do better! This episode is def full of some tough love and the motivational kick in the ass you need to not give up on your goals!

90 Day Challenges can get a bad rap about not creating any real lasting changes and this because they are missing 2 key ingredients to keep you going! Today we are talking about sprint goals, what they are and how to do them right!

This was my first time competing in The Fittest Experience Online Qualifier and I wanted to share my experience. What it was like, what I am going to do differently next year and sharing if I made it to the big event in January at Austin, Texas! For anyone in the Crossfit space that has thought about competing or already competes, I hope you can learn from my honest takeaways in this episode.

Today I share with you my biggest takeaways and tips on how to prepare for your first local Crossfit competition. Also, what it's like to compete, what I recommend eating and doing the day of competition. My hopes is that I can inspire you to sign up for your first Crossfit competition if you haven't done one before! It's an experience worth doing if you are into Crossfit at any fitness level.

In today's episode we really look into the science of fasting (mostly around intermittent fasting) based on the research provided below. I play devil's advocate and look into top reasons why people are FOR or AGAINST fasting and compare that to what was found in the studies. Then I give you my opinions on fasting based on what I've learned, so that you can make your own opinions on if fasting is the right thing for you and your goals! The 5 top things we discuss today: 1. Does fasting boost fat loss? what about fasted exercise?2. Is fasting the only and best way to do activate autophagy?3. Is fasting the best way to increase insulin sensitivity?4. Does fasting mess up your hormones?5. Does fasting cause muscle loss? can you gain muscle while fasting?

Today's episode I share my current goal of losing 10lbs. Why I need to, how I approach it in a positive way and the game plan I am taking to reach it. This episode is not just to share about me. It's main purpose is to inspire someone to lose their next 10lbs and give them a healthy motivating prospective on how they can make it happen.

Today's episode is me sharing an update on my mental health journey. It's been a little over a month since my last update. I am happy to say I think I've finally found an ADHD medication that works! Most of today's episode is me sharing many non-typical ADHD symptoms and reflecting that back on my own struggle of going undiagnosed with ADHD for 35 years.

If you have been a follower of the podcast, you probably have noticed I haven't uploaded a new episode since October 2021! I took a step back so I could focus on my mental health which is something I've honestly been struggling with since I was 13, unfortunately. So today is just a short update on where I am on that journey. The big takeaway is, I am going to start posting new episodes again!

In today's episode we are going to talk about... what is healthy, realistic weight loss and how to figure it out for your unique body composition what can effect weight loss but doesn't necessarily mean you are off track how to get my weight loss calculator that will help you determine realistic weight loss per week based on your current body composition and your goals. I geeked out and did all the math for you in an easy to use google spreadsheet so you don't have to mess with it! plus the calculator comes with an easy way to access if you are in a real plateau (not seeing results in a week doesn't mean you are in a plateau!)
