What actually determines whether a mom heals or stays stuck for years?It’s not time. It’s not money. And it’s not motivation.
In this episode of What About Mom, we dive into the single biggest predictor of real, lasting change: the power of the decision.
After working with thousands of women and mothers, I’ve seen the same patterns repeat again and again: cycles of waiting, managing symptoms, self-sabotage, guilt, and avoidance that keep moms stuck in bodies and lives that don’t feel good anymore. I break down the five common “buckets” moms get stuck in, how they show up in your health, mindset, relationships, and identity, and how to recognize which one you’re in.
This episode is an invitation to get honest with yourself, bring subconscious patterns into the conscious, and ask the hard question:Am I focusing on what I want, or what’s preventing me from getting it?
Whether you’re navigating pelvic floor symptoms, fitness goals, burnout, confidence, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation will help you see why change hasn’t happened yet and what actually moves the needle when you’re ready.
If you’ve been telling yourself “it’s just not my season,” this one’s for you.
