Hello, awakening woman. This podcast is for you – the woman seeking more than Insta-perfect images and surface-level living. Ever wondered why you repeat patterns, don’t speak up and hate on yourself? Feel like you’re a melting pot of potential trapped in a hamster wheel life? Then join the conversation. Lisa Corduff, leading Australian transformational coach, leads women back into their personal power with conversations that connect in a way few others can. It’s time for a new conversation.
Today’s guest is the wonderful Robin Long from The Balanced Life. I HAD to have Robin on the show because she’s an unsung hero in the fight against motherhood guilt. She has a busy family life with four children, runs her business and encourages her students to embrace grace over guilt. How good does that sound?
It’s hard enough trying to balance work and parenting but when you’re the face of a fitness business, the stakes are somewhat higher. People expect more of you but the truth is, we’re all in the same boat and a pilates professional truly isn’t any better than the the motherhood game than you are, I promise!
This is a chat about balance, motherhood and what it takes to really try to ‘have it all’.
So what is the episode REALLY about?
Key takeaways
•The severe consequences that happen when you ignore your need for rest.
•The frightening statistics on just how many women are dealing with burnout.
•The clues you might be suffering adrenal fatigue, for example feeling worse not better after a workout.
•The importance of going gently and trusting your own body.
•If a mum with a business and four kids can take a few moments out of the day to take care of herself, you can do it too!
•The small steps approach and how it’s the only sane way to keep it all together.
•Getting back to basics and how it can make decision making a lot easier.
•How it’s impossible to go from 0 to 100 and that’s why a lot of people fail at introducing exercise into their lives because they try to overdo it.
•How even fitness professionals skip workouts!
