40. Time to Change Your Mindset When it Comes to Fitness with Rachel Goeman Mar 12, 2024

Finding time to get a workout in after motherhood is difficult. This week, I'm joined with Rachel Goeman, a personal trainer and mom to 3. Together, we unpack the beauty of small victories and the transformative journey of motherhood that reshapes our identities and approaches to wellness.
We explore how motherhood has redefined not only our bodies but our mental fortitude, as we tackle those internal dialogs that challenge our motivation. From the 'all-or-nothing' mindset to the 'I can't do it' anthem, we lay out strategies to flip the script and celebrate exercise as an immediate source of joy, rather than an arduous task.
This episode is more than just a chat; it's an invitation to join a community of moms who find strength in their roles and embrace the ebbs and flows of motherly life, all while fostering resilience for themselves and their little ones.

10. Untangling Motherhood: Revealing the Invisible Mental Load with Amy Kiefer Jun 06, 2023

Are you the “default parent”? Do you find you feel guilty for taking time for yourself away from the kids? Are you struggling with the invisible load in motherhood? My guest, Amy Kiefer, joins me in this week’s episode as we discuss the emotional, mental and physical labor it takes to keep a family and household.
Amy Kiefer's purpose in life is simple yet transformative — to help and empower others. A multi-passionate entrepreneur, small business owner, and mom of three, she got her start by launching a blog and later developing the pregnancy and postpartum workout app, Expecting and Empowered. In her mission to give women the confidence and care they deserve, Amy has since gone on to create numerous outlets for her purpose-driven mindset. Drawing from her exercise science education, a nursing career in oncology, and her daily challenges as a mom, her endeavors have grown into a vibrant and supportive community – prompting the collaborative development of Amy’s two other online businesses: Pursuing Her Purpose and the top-rated HERself Podcast, with over 2.5 million downloads. Acclaimed for empowering women through some of their most difficult seasons, Amy is proud to help her community move past stress, guilt, and common obstacles to lead happier, healthier lives that are more aligned with their dreams.

Amy provides resources as well as practical tips that will challenge and encourage you to ask yourself how you can make visible some of your load. Both Amy and myself share personal stories of how the invisible load in motherhood has affected our own motherhood stories.

Motherhood is beautiful yet challenging. You may be feeling lost in motherhood. But I’m here to tell you that no matter what season of motherhood you find yourself in, every mom has a unique journey that is worth experiencing.

So if you are a mom feeling overwhelmed, are struggling with mom guilt, want to be more confident and are looking for ways to find YOU again… know that you are not alone. Motherhood should be a place to find support and community. Every mom will come away with connection, knowledge and tangible tools to integrate into their own motherhood experience.

As a therapist, I’ve worked with so many individuals who are longing for ways to find themselves again. And as a mom, I will bring my own real life experiences into this podcast as well as be talking with guests who have inspirational and relatable stories in motherhood.

You deserve to be confident in motherhood with all of your experiences that make you who you are. So let’s get started on being real, vulnerable and step into community with each other. This is Experience Motherhood.
