96. Fitness, Family & Fatigue: How to Stay Consistent When Life Is Anything But

Description:

In this real-talk episode, Josh and Joelle unpack what it actually looks like to prioritize health and fitness while raising a family. From sleepless nights and shifting morning routines to the emotional weight of parenting decisions, they explore the messy middle where most parents live — and how to keep showing up anyway.

You’ll hear honest strategies for navigating postpartum recovery, choosing sleep over workouts (or not), dealing with stress, and deciding when — and if — you’re truly ready for kids.

They also dive into listener questions around sugar-free diets, cardio timing, and how to build a sustainable routine that flexes with your life.

If you’ve ever felt like you're constantly adjusting, recalibrating, or starting over — this episode is for you.

Because it’s not about doing it all. It’s about doing what matters — consistently, imperfectly, and in a way that actually fits your life.
