Having kids can make life a little unpredictable at times and that very thing happened this week when our son's daycare was shut down due to an RSV outbreak so I figured why not make the most of an inconvenient situation and show up and do it messy by inviting my brilliant 4 yr old onto today's episode! In this episode, my son and I discuss why he likes exercising, eating protein, going to the gym, and his favorite superhero! As well as a little song at the end for everyone. This one turned out way better than I expected it to given a rambunctious 4 yr old was my guest. So I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it! I hope this also serves as a motivator for you to show up for yourself today in your journey because of the impact it can have not only on you but also on your family too!<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

#117- Don't Let EASY Rob You If What You Truly Want!

The Fit Parent Project was created specifically to focus on the idea of parents getting the self-care they deserve through health and fitness sustainably so they can live the life they want not the life they’re settling for.Getting in shape is a challenge in and of itself. Let alone trying to get in shape during the highs, the lows, and the chaos of parenthood. Especially when between the guilt and the stress alone that kids just feel like they add a whole other dimension to even the simplest of tasks. Sometimes it feels impossible when all you hear is “we all have the same 24hrs in the day” when our 24 hours looks so much different than those without kids. It can be done though, is it harder? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Absolutely. And as parents, we often put ourselves on the backburner because we feel like that makes us better parents to the alternative. When in reality, the truth is, that self-care isn’t selfish. I’ve helped hundreds of parents get away from the unsustainable fad diet and exercise culture and create customized plans that are maintainable long-term and in this podcast, I’d like to share some of my best tips, tricks, and information that you can apply to your own journey and life!Each podcast episode is filled with action steps and mindset shifts dedicated to the idea that parenthood doesn’t have to be martyrdom and that we need to fill our own cups to be the best parents we can be.Stop saying you can’t and start listening to how you CAN by listening to The Fit Parent Project.
