We are back talking all things from fitness to kids to cookie dough with another episode of The Women’s Fittest Podcast Mom Squad. 

In this episode #106 “Realizing there’s more to life than fitness. “ We talk about the struggle of former fitness focused women suddenly finding themselves in a mombod doing the mom life

This happens to most of us when we become moms and that can be a tough.. It's really tough to focus on fitness when being a mom takes up every minute of your life, and even more so when previously fitness took up all those minutes. Its’s even harder when you're faced with fit perfect bodies and hi-light reels every day on social media. So what's the solution?  Abbie, Katie, and i talk about this and so much more including:

1. Texas snow storms
2. How the older boys connect with Katie’s baby 
3. How we became more baby obsessed after having babies 
4. How do you create children you like being around or “good kids” 
5. The importance of play with out electronics. Letting children play with whatever without judgement. (Boy toys/girl toys etc) 
6. How do you balance being a friend with your kid and bring their parent as they get older or does this even happen 
7. What is the value of social media? 
8. The comparison game on social media and why Katie deactivated her Ig account. 
9. Comparison and competition pertaining to new moms
10. No regrets with investing your time into easing your children and being there for them.
11. Following people on social media for reasons other than their physique 
12. How we talk to ourselves in front of our children. And using the scale in front of our children. 
13. Pressure from influencers to go to the gym or bounce back right after giving birth and the “out mom you” competition 
14. Keeping teens off social media too much. Time limits and leading by example. 
15. The economy 
16. The baby channel 
17. Finding time to exercise with a baby 
18. Social media irks: copying original thoughts and pretending they’re yours, preaching self love, “giving yourself grace”, actually being real, my fitness account is more than fitness 
19. The last breastfeeding 
20. Family skiing/snowboarding 
21. Tying up little girls long hair 
22. Positives of social media 
23. Struggled with boundaries for kids who have social media 
24. Abbie starting an “Only feet” fan page 
25. When injuries need surgery
