What if the way you’ve been taught to care for your body… was never designed for motherhood?

In this episode, I’m joined by Roxy, a holistic therapist and coach supporting Latina women and mothers over 30. With 15 years in mental health, she shares her personal journey from a controlling relationship with nutrition and fitness to a more compassionate, sustainable approach after becoming a mom of two.

We explore how motherhood shifts your identity, body, and capacity—and why so many women feel overwhelmed and burned out when they can’t keep up with wellness expectations.

We talk about the pressure to “do it all,” the guilt many moms feel when they can’t keep up, and how nervous system regulation, mental health, and cultural influences play a role in burnout.

This is a conversation about letting go of perfection, breaking generational patterns, and redefining what health looks like in motherhood.

If you’re ready to release perfection and care for yourself in a way that actually supports your life—this episode is for you.
