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 the quiet tension many women carry — loving their life and still wanting more. So many moms feel pressure to constantly “fix” themselves or rush toward the next version of who they should be. Others feel guilty for wanting growth at all, especially when their life looks good on paper. This episode explores how to hold space for gratitude and desire, joy and discomfort, presence and vision — all at the same time. We talk about: why wanting more doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful how perfectionism steals joy from the present the difference between growth and self-rejection why progress doesn’t need to be rushed how to honor your current season without abandoning your future If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your pace of change, conflicted about wanting something different, or unsure how to evolve without burning down your life, this conversation offers relief and perspective. You don’t need to hate your life to outgrow it. And you don’t need to rush your evolution to prove you’re moving forward. Growth can be rooted, intentional, and kind. 🎙️ 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]
