246| Does Taking Time to Workout and Focus on Your Health Make You a Bad Mom?

Do you ever feel guilty for working out? Like you should be with your kids instead, but here you are dropping them off at the gym childcare or letting them watch a show while you get your workout in? I hear this from moms all the time, and for years I felt it too. Not as a clear thought, more like this quiet feeling that taking time for myself meant I was doing something wrong. That prioritizing your health as a mom somehow made me selfish. In this episode, I'm digging into where that feeling comes from and why it's so much more common than you think. I'm also talking about what happens when we let that guilt win, year after year, and what it can cost us down the road if we keep pushing our own needs to the back burner. I share a mindset shift that changed how I think about my role in my family, plus a simple way to picture yourself that makes it a lot harder to justify neglecting your own health. And I'll walk you through the difference between actual selfishness and simply taking care of yourself so you can show up as the mom you want to be. If you've ever wondered whether prioritizing your health as a mom is something you're allowed to do, this one is for you. -Rachel Next Steps: 100 Gram Protein Cheat-Sheet Fat Loss Formula for Moms Coaching Program Book a Free Discovery Call to see if my program is a good fit for you
