Supporting your child’s nutrition, sports schedule, and energy needs can start to feel like a full-time job — especially when you’re juggling practices, games, school, work, and your own health.
In this episode of the Inspired Wellness Podcast, Michelle sits down with Marie Sporich for a refreshing, back-to-basics conversation about fueling young athletes without burning out your family — or yourself.
This episode is for moms navigating youth sports nutrition, busy schedules, and the pressure to “do it all” perfectly. Instead of complicated meal plans or performance pressure, Marie shares a realistic, sustainable approach to fueling kids and supporting recovery, energy, and long-term wellbeing.
In this episode, we cover:
- How to fuel young athletes without over-complicating meals
- Signs of burnout in kids and sports moms
- Why recovery and rest matter just as much as training
- Teaching kids to listen to hunger, fullness, and energy cues
- Simple nutrition habits that support performance and growth
- How moms can support their kids’ health without ignoring their own
If you’re raising active kids and want to support energy, performance, and family wellbeing — without stress, guilt, or burnout — this episode will leave you feeling grounded, encouraged, and equipped.
