EP451 // Why Strength Training Matters for Moms Over 30 (And How to Fit It Into a Busy Schedule) With Guest Rachel DeSonier

Have you ever looked at your calendar, your to-do list, and your energy level and thought, “There is absolutely no way I can fit a workout into this season of life”? Between work, kids, meals, laundry, and everything else, taking care of yourself can start to feel optional. And if you’re being honest, exercise and nutrition are usually the first things to fall off the list.

That’s why I’m so excited about today’s conversation. I’m joined by Rachel DeSonier—registered dietitian, certified personal trainer, and mom of five—who gets what real-life motherhood actually looks like. Rachel helps overwhelmed moms stop treating themselves as optional and teaches simple, realistic ways to build strength, fuel their bodies with protein, and create consistency that actually sticks.

In this episode, we’re talking about how busy moms can fit in efficient workouts, why strength training matters so much in this season of life, and easy ways to get more protein throughout the day—without cooking separate meals or spending hours in the gym. This is a practical, encouraging conversation that meets you right where you are. So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in.
