What do you get when two midlife moms trade stories about protein shakes, pelvic floors, and fighting for their identity one workout at a time? THIS episode.
Melis sits down with Skyler Burton — fellow mom, awesome human, and accountability buddy on the same fitness and mindset journey — to talk about what it really looks like to try and reclaim your energy, your confidence, and maybe even your abs (no promises) while raising kids and holding onto your sanity.
In this episode:
🏋️♀️ Why starting a fitness routine in midlife is about so much more than the scale
🤪 How being home with kids can leave you craving adult connection and your old self
👟 The power of finding a community (and a coach!) that sees you even when you feel invisible
🥲 The behind-the-scenes truth of showing up for yourself when motivation is MIA
"I felt like I was disappearing… and lifting weights reminded me I was still in there." – Skyler 💪
👯♀️ Have you ever tried to do squats with a toddler hanging on your leg? Then you’re going to love this one. Share it with a friend who’s also trying to find herself somewhere between the laundry and leg day.
