Description

Mother's Day is upon us, so we're bringing you a very special episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast to celebrate all the special ladies out there!I believe that being a mom is probably the most important job in the world. And the reason I say that is because you may know the story of why I started the Fit Father Project and the Fit Mother Project.My father lost his life at the age of 42. I was nine at the time, and my little brother was six.And probably the most important part of this story is seeing how my mom responded to this incredible tragedy.I watched my mom battle to keep our family together while she healed from the wounds of losing her spouse.She raised my brother and I, put food on the table, and stepped up as a provider in every way.So, as you can probably imagine, I have the deepest respect for moms and particularly my mom. I would never be where I am today without her love, strength, and guidance. So that's why Mother's Day is always so special and important to me because my mom and her love is the basis of all the success and all the amazing things I’ve done.But this Mother's Day is even more special for me because six weeks ago, my wife Paige gave birth to our firstborn daughter, Brooke Sage.Seeing the incredible gift of a mother's body bringing life into this world, the amazing dependency of a newborn baby on a mom, and the way Brooke and Paige have bonded has been the most special experience of my life. So I have even more appreciation of motherhood this Mother's Day. And that's why I'm so fired up to share this podcast and a series of amazing and powerful quotes. 18 Quotes for Mother’s Day“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.

It is no secret that Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of today’s families. The amount of work, errands, tasks, and support mothers do day in and day out is never-ending. It’s keeping the household and family running. It’s planning birthday parties and family activities. It’s running to the grocery store while waiting to pick up the dry cleaning. It’s making sure the kids and spouse have everything they need… often putting themselves and their health last. It can feel like an Invisible Burden... an evergrowing weight carried on the shoulders of many moms. And our society expects mothers to carry this load without question. What happens when we carry additional weight…? Our bodies are stressed and challenged in a magnitude of ways that can lead to stress, poor health. The Invisible Burden can lead to weight gain, constant low energy, hormone imbalance. It can lead to being stretched beyond reach. What’s worse is that hardworking mothers like you bearing this burden, are often not seen or acknowledged for carrying the contributions and the acts of the family. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, society often expects you to carry the invisible burden without question. If you’re a working mom, you’re also expected to carry the invisible burden just as much while working to provide an income to your family. You have so many important things pulling you in different directions that it often means you put yourself… and your health… last. I’m Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Founder, and CEO of the Fit Mother Project and the host of this podcast… and I get all of this. Growing up… my dad died when I was 9 years old… and my mom became a widow with two young boys… and she had to fight to raise us and keep our family together. I started the Fit Mother Project and created this podcast with the sole purpose of helping create stronger and more powerful mothers through losing weight without restrictive diets, crazy workouts, or the image of “being perfect.” Our Fit Mother team has helped over 10,000 women become a stronger more fit version of themselves and we know this podcast will help you do the same on your journey to a better you. You can take care of your family and work… and still make time for yourself and your health. I’ll show you how XYZ. It’s time for you to put yourself and your health first.
