#21 - Stop Playing the Victim As A Mom: How Taking Responsibility Will Change Your Life

from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate

In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, we talk about radical responsibility — what it really means, why it’s uncomfortable, and why it’s the fastest path to real change. This is a direct conversation about owning your choices, releasing victim mentality, and recognizing that no one is coming to save you — not because you’re alone, but because you are more capable than you’ve been taught to believe. We talk about: how victim mentality keeps people stuck what radical responsibility actually looks like in real life why waiting for motivation, permission, or the “right time” doesn’t work how your actions model behavior for your kids why change starts with you — even when life isn’t fair Taking responsibility doesn’t mean blaming yourself for everything that’s happened to you. It means recognizing where your power still exists — and choosing to use it. This episode is for moms who are tired of feeling stuck, tired of outsourcing their power, and ready to stop waiting for external circumstances to change before they do. Your life doesn’t change when things get easier. It changes when you decide to show up differently. And that decision starts with you. 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast If this episode helped you, please rate, review, and share it with a mom who’s trying to lift while raising kids. 🔗 Resources & Links 📖 Read the full breakdown of this Podcast episode on my Substack 👉 [Read it Here] 🏔️ Join the Athlete Mom Project Course Training that fits motherhood — without burnout, all-or-nothing, or sacrificing family life. 👉 [ Learn More Here ] 📲 Learn More About Coaching Programs 👉 Inquire About Coaching Programs Here 💪🏻 Connect with me on Instagram 👉 [@withchanyoucan]
