As moms, it's easy to put everything - and everyone - on a pedestal except the things God has truly called us to prioritize, (or put in the "right" place.) Especially, in busy seasons.

In this episode, we take an honest look at what we are idolizing, what's slipping through the cracks, and how to realign our focus.

Whether you are juggling homeschooling, fitness goals, or just trying to get through the day with grace, this conversation is your reminder to press on with purpose.

What if I told you that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your effort? This idea is known as the Pareto Principle. It can transform the way you approach fitness, nutrition, motherhood, and faith. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to use the 80/20 rule to get stronger, stay consistent, and simplify your life without burnout.

You’ll learn:

• How to train smarter, not harder by focusing on the most effective workouts
• Why 80% of your nutrition matters more than 100% perfection
• How to simplify homemaking and motherhood by prioritizing what truly moves the needle
• How to let go of the 20% that’s holding you back so you can thrive

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” — Abraham Lincoln

Most moms approach fitness as “just staying active,” but what if there’s a better way? In this episode of Reps and Redemption, we’re shifting the mindset from random workouts to training with intention, just like an athlete. You don’t have to be a competitor to train with purpose, build strength, and develop the discipline that benefits your body, mind, and spirit.

I’ll break down:

• The difference between working out vs. training with purpose
• How structured training helps you gain strength, confidence, and energy
• Practical ways to apply an athlete’s mindset to your busy mom life

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you train with intention, you show up stronger for your family and in your faith in God.

Ready to step into your strength? Let’s do this!
