Maybe you've tried to make a ton of changes at once and eventually imploded OR maybe you're wanting to make a bunch of changes, but you're worried you'll fall off a few days in so you don't even start. Can I tell you something?

It doesn't have to be this way. That roller coaster so much of the world rides on doesn't have to be YOUR story too.

In this episode, I'm going to help you get OFF and completely avoid that roller coaster (the "making all the changes at once then falling off the wagon" one) by dropping the all or nothing mindset once and for all so you can stay consistent for GOOD.

We are done with the craziness, it's time to get consistent.

After meeting 3 years ago at a mom’s fitness group, Alysha and Theresa became fast friends over their realness about motherhood. With their expertises in pregnancy/postpartum physical therapy, fitness, eCommerce, and a joint passion to help other moms find community, Alyth Active was born — activewear by mamas for mamas. Alyth creates thoughtfully designed, versatile activewear & athleisure clothing designed to wear through all stages of our beautiful, ever-changing bodies from pre-pregnancy through postpartum!

I'm super picky about what I choose to partner with, but after working out in the gear, getting to know Theresa and Alysha, and seeing their mission brought to life, I'm happy to say I have a #1 favorite mom activewear brand now! So I figured there would be no better way to kick off this partnership than by having these awesome founders on the podcast and allow you to hear THEIR hearts and mission!

One of the BEST ways to take on your journey postpartum is with SUPPORT with those who are closest to you. So what do you do if your husband isn't on the same page as you? Or what if you're worried about how your family will respond and adapt to the changes you're making? And what even IS his perspective on all of this you're taking on?

In this episode, Casey and I dive into what is going through your husband's head (most likely!) and how to approach this journey as a team because 2 are better than 1.

He takes a few minutes to speak to the husbands throughout the episode as well, so prioritize some time today to listen to this conversation together! BOTH of us are cheering you on, mama! xo, Casey & Liz

Habits take 21 days! NO... 90 days! Wait, I thought it was 30 days...? Hold on, what about that 75 day thing? Is it 75?

It's confusing how long it takes to create a habit because everyone says it takes a different amount of time. Annoying right?! And when it's taking longer than "they say" (whoever they are?) to make a habit automatic, it is straight up discouraging.

In this episode, we're busting open these timelines and you're going to get the TRUTH about how long it takes to create a habit, not only to give you peace but to empower you in the changes you are working to make in your life.

We getting nerdy today, sister! Let's go!

Tough Love for Moms | Encouraging and Equipping Moms to Do Hard Things - 18 | I Have a Secret... I Don’t Meal Prep!! How I Still Eat Clean Without Spending Any Time Meal Prepping!
play

01/20/22 • 12 min

When you hear "healthy eating" does meal prep also come to mind? Yeah, I used to think the same. "Meal prep" often goes hand in hand in every Pinterest search for healthy meal ideas and Sunday afternoon IG post am I right?!

I've personally come to learn that Meal prep is NOT for me. I'm just not a fan, YET I was able to lose a whole lot of weight postpartum without any meal prep and in this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I made that shift from "meal prep mindset" to FREE.

Put AWAY the meal prep containers and delete the Pinterest meal prep board you keep saving pins to and not using - you're about to be freed from this weighty feeling that you NEED to prep to eat healthy!
