Motherhood isn’t about “bouncing back” — it’s about leaping forward.
In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Marlene Andersson — women’s mindset coach, toddler mom, and former elite CrossFit athlete — to unpack the real challenges and mindset shifts of motherhood.
We dive into:
✅ Why “bouncing back” is a trap and how to create a new, empowered identity as a mom
✅ Lessons from elite-level competition that translate into thriving in motherhood
✅ The “forgotten steps” of goal setting that prevent self-sabotage and set moms up for success
✅ Simple, practical first steps moms can take today to put themselves back on their own priority list
Whether you’re a new mom navigating the identity shift or a seasoned mom wanting to reclaim your energy and routine, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to thrive.
