Read this post for… a free family-friendly recipe and help with fitness, nutrition, and create a mindset for self-care.
I was honored to be a guest on Meal Garden’s podcast, Making It Real (Feb. 3, 2021).
On the podcast, I chat with Kiki about mom guilt, mindset, and how to approach fitness, nutrition in a way that will give you lasting success AND will BE A GIFT TO YOUR FAMILY.
First, I want to talk about mom guilt. The struggle is real. We want to be healthier, we want to focus on exercise, nutrition, de-stressing…all the things. THEN, that inner voice starts yammering.
I CAN’T take time for myself!
I SHOULD be spending my non-working hours with my kids, cleaning, organizing the garage…or…
Little Joey wants to color together.
My kids need me. My spouse needs me. They DESERVE my all.
I get it! They do deserve our best. We love spending time with our loved ones. It fills us, but it can also drain us. So many of us need this reminder…so say this out loud…
“I MATTER TOO! My self-care IS important.”
Seriously, I could write a book. So many women come to me because they feel they need help with nutrition and fitness. And yes, they generally do. Yet so often the thing that is getting in their way is that they are shoulding all over themselves. It’s mindset. It’s self permission and self-denial.
Are you shoulding all over yourself???
Take a few minutes to journal or reflect…
What are the costs to YOU when you neglect yourself in favor of what you “should” do?
What could be the benefits of taking time for self-care?
How healthy do you want to be 5 years from now, 10 years, 20?
How healthy do you think your family would like you to be? Ask them!
In the podcast, I also talk about how I use Meal Garden to help my clients with nutrition. Meal Garden has thousands of amazing, healthy recipes and meal planning software that helps me to provide you with resources to eat healthy, using ingredients you love and within your personal nutrition goals. Bonus, families love it too! Scroll down for a tried and true favorite, Crockpot Santa Fe Chicken.
Please be sure to listen in to the podcast to hear more about:
• What tools/methods/modalities are most effective to connect with your intrinsic motivation, cut through the overwhelm, and achieve your health and fitness goals.
•. The pros + cons of “goal setting” – and how to do it RIGHT!
•. Using Meal Garden: the specific features/functions that help my clients the most
•. The importance of continuing to grow and develop as a coach so I can best serve my clients.
Please HELP ME HELP OTHERS!
