MomBod: It Takes A Village

MomBod: It Takes A Village

By MomBod Village

MomBod? It's my little taste of Motherhood; my attempt to be sane and healthy. The ‘Hood is meant to be a no judgement zone; a ‘here’s this because it helped me’; a ‘have you tried this yet’; an ‘I got this so you can do that‘; a playdate because who doesn't need a coffee and/or wine; but it is mostly an ‘I UNDERSTAND’.
Join the insight into my life of how I manage to be a full-time working military wife and mom, as well as all the other hats we tend to juggle in a day's time.
MOTHERHOOD is an interesting place to be, but without a VILLAGE, where would Moms be?

Knowledge Check: Pregnancy Related Diseases & Nutrition

Knowledge Check: Pregnancy Related Diseases & Nutrition

Welcome to my MomBod Village! I am excited to host this platform in support of working women who are already moms or who are thinking about becoming one. This podcast discusses and provides tips for all things motherhood by using my experiences, resiliency, and research-based knowledge to inspire mothers to live wholesome, healthier, and happier lifestyles while adjusting to the daily living adventures of keeping little humans alive while balancing our womanhood and work. If you have no idea where to start with getting your life under control, don’t worry, none of us know what we are doing! Tune in to find your support system to conquer motherhood together.

We all know how difficult it is to be a woman. From all the clothes, shoes, accessories, menstrual cycles, and of course, childbirth.

This is a BONUS episode as it is a nutrition education project for my Master's program course, NUTR 6250E Diet & Disease. It was incredibly related to my platform so why not use it as an opportunity to enlighten my fellow mamas?  

Have a question or are interested in hearing about another topic? Let's connect by email at finallyfitttraining@gmail.com, or send a DM on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/quinmashchapham/. Remember, it takes a village.

The Hardest Parts of Marriage Pt. 2: Military Spouse Edition

The Hardest Parts of Marriage Pt. 2: Military Spouse Edition

Life as a military spouse is not always sunshine and rainbows, but there are times it is, and it makes it so worth it. We are strong, resilient, flexible, but so damn stressed! There are definitely pros and cons to living this life but my marriage and this life we are trying to build is what keeps us moving forward. So, if you are a military spouse, or know one, or are curious about such a thing, tune in to this episode to see not only what stresses me out the most, but also the most things I am thankful for as a military spouse. This life is tough, but so are we.

Feel free to send me a DM letting me know your thoughts and experiences on not just this topic, but from previous episodes as well. Any and all feedback is much appreciated and looking forward to sharing more of my mom life with you! Welcome back to my Village.

The Hardest Parts of Marriage

The Hardest Parts of Marriage

"A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together. It is when an IMPERFECT couple learns to enjoy their differences." -Dave Meurer. Marriage is hard. Now it all makes sense why our parents were the way that they were. They were trying to figure it out just like we are now. Tune in to hear some of the reasons that I received from others about what makes marriage hard, as well as some insight to how my husband and I made it to celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary coming up this year! Welcome to my Village.

Self Identity Crisis

Self Identity Crisis

Our sense of identity comes from the choices we make about things like relationships, career, hobbies, friendships and lifestyle. These choices often reflect who we are and what we value in life. Motherhood causes a major shift in identity. New moms can sometimes feel like they have lost not only their social life, sexiness, or value as a working professional, but more importantly, THEMSELVES. Whether it was planned to have a kid or not, reality sets in! This doesn’t mean that you don’t love your kid(s) or that you aren’t doing a good job as a parent or wife. It just means that you may need some time to rediscover yourself. In this episode I reveal what helps me feel more like myself again since having kids, and I give you 5 additional tips to consider in order to regain your self identity and overall self worth.

“You were someone before you were their mom and she matters too”.
