162. Staying Strong and Sane in Summer Without Losing My Shit
About this episode
Summer is cute in theory — until your kids are yelling during your deadlifts, your routine vanishes, and your nervous system is fried by 9am.
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I adjust my training (and my expectations) during summer so I don’t spiral into perfectionism or burnout. Spoiler: it’s not about doing more — it’s about doing what actually works when life is chaotic as hell.
You’ll hear how I:
- Shift from structured routines to flexible tools
- Fit strength training in with kids literally at my feet
- Choose joy over aesthetics
- Use rest as resistance
- Ditch the shame spiral and still make gains
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing for not doing it all — this one’s for you. You’re not inconsistent. You’re carrying a lot. Let’s talk about how to stay strong without losing your shit this summer.
