Day in the life: How I balance work, fitness and family

What if the secret to feeling more productive, centered, and present isn't doing more, but structuring your day with intention?

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my full day: from my 5 a.m. wake-up to my nighttime wind-down routine. This isn't a highlight reel. It's the real, unfiltered look at how I balance being a mom, running a business, training for a 70.3, creating content, coaching clients, and showing up for my family. All while protecting my energy and staying grounded.

I walk you through my non-negotiables: my morning meditation and red light routine, how I structure my workouts, what I actually eat in a day, how Ian and I work together without losing our minds, and why time blocking has completely changed my life. I also share how I stay off my phone when the kids get home, my supplement lineup, why I don't lift in the morning, and the nighttime rituals that help me sleep better and wake up ready.

This episode is honest, detailed, and full of the little habits that actually make a difference. From protein coffee and chia seed pudding to mouth tape and magnesium before bed, I'm breaking down what works for me, and why I believe structure creates freedom.

If you've ever wondered how to build a routine that supports your goals without burning you out, this episode will give you a real blueprint. You don't need to do it all. You just need to do what matters: consistently.
