Effective Weight Loss for Moms | Workout Routines, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Healthy Habits, Fat Loss
Do you feel like you should have this health thing figured out by now… but no one ever actually taught you how to do it in a way that fits your real life?
Are you tired of starting over every Monday? Trying to eat “clean,” squeeze in workouts, and then feeling like you failed when life gets crazy again?
You don't need to work harder. I believe that you struggle because you’ve just spent years putting everyone else first, and no one’s ever shown you how to take care of you.
Welcome to The Effective Weight Loss for Moms Podcast, where you’ll learn how to lose fat, build strength, and finally feel confident in your body through strength training, flexible nutrition, and consistency systems.
Hey, I’m Rachel. I'm a mom of 5, follower of Jesus, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Personal Trainer.
After my third baby, I felt stuck in a body that didn’t feel like mine. I tried all the things, like eating less, doing endless cardio, intermittent fasting, and still felt frustrated and defeated.
Once I learned how to fuel my body instead of punish it, and trained smarter (not longer), everything changed. I got stronger, lost fat, and found confidence I hadn’t felt in years.
Now, I help other moms do the same. Because guess what? If you were never taught how to build a healthy lifestyle that lasts, it's not going to be natural for you! I can be the one to show you how, so you can model this for your kids and break the cycle of inconsistency for good.
If you’re ready to finally be consistent, feel strong, and live healthy without guilt or overwhelm, this podcast is for you.
Grab your protein shake, take a deep breath, and let’s do this together.

You tell yourself: "Ok, this is it! I'm getting this fat off this year!"
And then....well, nothing much happens. Maybe go to the gym for a few weeks, cut out sugar for a while, but then things revert back to how they've always been.
What happened? Or really, what DIDN'T happen?
Goals. Realistic, strategic goals. And not just goals; daily and weekly habits to support those goals.
During this live coaching session, I'm working with Neisha to change her desires into goals and then into tangible things she can accomplish on a daily and weekly basis.
This is what creates change that lasts!
I hope you enjoy!
