I Join The Mad Town Mom Squad to Talk Balancing Career, Family, and Strength!

July 23, 20251 min read


I had a great conversation on The Mad Town Mom Squad Podcast about a topic that is central to what we do here at FIT: how high-achieving parents can successfully balance the demands of career, family, and personal well-being.

As a husband and a dad to energetic twin daughters, I know firsthand the constant pressure to be "on" everywhere at once. I truly believe that the idea that you have to choose between being a great parent, a high performer at work, and someone who feels strong in their own body is simply false. You can thrive in all three.

Strength Training: The Ultimate Foundation for Parents

In this episode, I explain how the discipline and strength gained in the gym becomes the foundation for emotional and relational health outside of it. It’s about building a body and a mindset that can support your full, demanding life.

We covered some of the most critical topics for busy parents:

  • Discipline Over Motivation: I break down why relying on motivation is a recipe for inconsistency, and how to build the discipline that makes your health journey sustainable, even during chaos.

  • Movement and Relationships: We discussed the surprising ways that prioritizing movement can positively impact your energy levels and your presence in your relationships at home.

  • Foundational Movements: I share practical advice on the simple, essential movements every parent should focus on to build resilience and avoid injury.

  • My Core Message to Parents: I share the simple, yet powerful message I want every mom and dad to carry with them.

If you’re ready to stop sacrificing your well-being and start finding true integration in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
