Hey Hey FitMama, I have been having so many questions from my DMs asking about how to stop cravings for habits and foods that we want to stop doing. How do we stop!

Drinking too much? Skipping workouts? I kn...

I am here for you today with some real talk on habits and behaviors in our regular routine and looking at: What are they and how do they affect us (Shopping, drinking, gambling, coffee, procrastinating etc) Are they giving or taking from us?

Hey FitMama, I'm back this week with a solo episode all about how to hold space, not only for others, but for yourself as well.

This can be so easy to do and I feel like it's easier now than ever. Life doesn't seem t...
