Fierce Mama Fitcast
The Fierce Mama Fitcast isn’t just another podcast — it’s a movement, and you’re part of it. Here, we’re all about helping you feel strong in your body and loud in your life, without chasing perfection. I’m Mel Duettchen, founder of the Fierce Mama Collective and a mom who got in the best shape of her life after kids — and I’m here to help you do the same, in a way that fits your real life.
Inside each episode, you’ll get no-BS tools you can actually use, real talk about fitness, food, and feeling good, and unfiltered stories from the messy, beautiful chaos of motherhood. Whether you’re listening on a walk, hiding in the pantry, or squeezing it in between drop-offs, know this: you’re not alone here. You’re part of a community that sees you, supports you, and celebrates you — every step, every win, no matter how big or small. Let’s do this together.

Episode 2: Building Habits When Life Feels Chaotic
The SPF Summer Challenge might be over by the time you're listening — but the chaos of mom life probably isn't. In this episode, I’m talking about why I launched a challenge during the busiest time of year (yes, I know it’s “crazy”) and why summer is actually the perfect time to build routines that stick.
We’re covering what makes mom summers feel so overwhelming, how to stop falling off track when things get busy, and simple strategies to help you create a routine that fits your life — not the other way around.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why summer is so hard (and why that makes it the best time to start)
- How to build consistency during chaos — even with camp drop-offs and swim meets
- Small, repeatable habits that work even when you’re running on empty
- How to habit stack and set simple movement goals
- Why flexibility wins over rigid schedules every time
- What it really means to stay consistent without being perfect
