    Overcoming Mom Guilt: Empowering Moms for Growth and Self-Full Practices (Ep. 22)

    Overcoming Mom Guilt: Empowering Moms for Growth and Self-Full Practices (Ep. 22)

    I hope you had a relaxing Mother's Day and today's topic couldn't have come at a better time. I've worked with so many mother's in my career and as one myself, I wholeheartedly understand mom guilt. For many years it was them, us, me when it came to my priorities and it wasn't until I flipped the formula that everything changed. In today's episode, I'm going to explain how to overcome mom guilt and how to look at self-care as self-full rather than selfish.

    Weekend Wins: Maintaining Momentum with Your Nutrition and Fitness (Ep. 21)

    Weekend Wins: Maintaining Momentum with Your Nutrition and Fitness (Ep. 21)

    One of the biggest hurdles I've helped my clients overcome the past 20+ years is how they approach their weekend and how to stay on track while still living their lives.
    For the most part, we want our weekends to look the same as the rest of the week and sure, we can sleep in a bit or enjoy a cocktail or two but we still want our sleep schedule to be close to the same and we still want to be eating and moving our bodies in a constant way.
    In this episode, I'll explain how to take steps to do this in your own life, how to look at your week through a percentage lens standpoint, how I approach weekends, and more!

    The 25 Year Evolution of Sarah Fechter Fitness Part 1: The Bootcamp That Changed Everything (Ep. 19)

    "When one door closes and when someone says no, it doesn't mean that it can't be done. It just means it's going to take a different route. Be persistent and go take that win."
    Today's episode was extremely emotional for me to record and it wasn't until the last sentence where I started to tear up recapping the 25 years of hustle, struggle, and determination that built Sarah Fechter Fitness. 
    In this episode, I want to take you back all the way to 1999 when I first began and share my vision for what I wanted to create in Michigan, what coaching pre-social media looked like, the creation of the SF games, and so much more.

Binge-able fitness and lifestyle advice

Sooo, I have listened to all eleven episodes by Sarah and I can't wait for the next one. Did someone make me listen on a bet or something? Nope. I'm glad I have though, and can't wait for more. The episodes are relatable and short with super practical and actionable advice. If you're looking for a healthy and helpful binge you should give it a try.
