💖 Hey Mama,

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m just too busy right now—I’ll start working out later when life calms down”?

Here’s the hard truth: that slower season might never come. And waiting for it is costing you your health, your energy, and your confidence.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Shaela Daugherty, Christian fitness coach and founder of the Stronger Collective Workout App for Christian Women. She’s here to show you why being too busy is actually the best time to start your fitness routine—and how small, sustainable systems can help you build strength without adding more overwhelm.

Shaela’s “dial, not switch” approach will completely change the way you see health and routines, giving you permission to start small, adjust with your season, and finally feel like yourself again.

Key Takeaways

• Why waiting for the “perfect time” keeps moms stuck in overwhelm
