Seasons Change, So Do You: Motherhood, Time Management & Real Life as a Mom of 3 with Coach Jess

August 27, 2025

In this episode of the motherhood series, Coach Jess brings the real talk. As a run coach, fitness coach, and mom of three (ages 5, 7, and almost 11), Jess shares what motherhood looks like in this current season of life—far past the toddler stage, but still deep in the chaos of sports, schedules, and trying to find balance in self-care. From early morning workouts to treadmill runs while her kids are home for summer, she offers wisdom on time management, mom guilt, and why putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

In this episode, we cover:

How Jess’s fitness journey evolved across three pregnancies
Lifting, running, and taking back control of your body after being told to “do nothing”
Managing time and expectations as a mom of three active kids
Advice for moms navigating mom guilt and losing their sense of self
Why seasons will change—and how to keep showing up for yourself through each one
Her best “mic drop” reminder for moms trying to do it all
