Episode 84: Prep Through Beautiful Chaos: Babies, Teens & Everything Between

About this episode

The episode discusses navigating fitness goals through various stages of motherhood and the challenges that come with it.

In this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are diving into the topic of how to navigate prep and personal fitness goals throughout the different stages of motherhood amidst the various challenges and constant changes to routines and schedules. As active competitors with kids of various ages, we have walked the walk of juggling the responsibilities of motherhood while getting ‘stage ready’ and in this episode, we are sharing helpful insight and useful strategies to help our audience find balance while managing it all. From the newborn stage, to the messy middle and finally, the empty nesting phase, we stress the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a means of self care. We know that as hard as it can be, embracing change while continuing to set new goals is the key to success in this sport and in life!
