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 4 - Why I Said No to One-Month Coaching
In this episode, I’m breaking down why I turned down a one-month coaching request — and what it shows about quick fixes versus real change. You’ll hear exactly how coaching creates lasting results, why crash diets keep you stuck, and the habits that actually transform your body and energy.
You don’t need quick fixes, 30-day challenges, or crash diets — you need real coaching and time to build habits.
- Habits beat hype: 12 weeks of support builds skills you can use for life.
- Quick fixes fade fast: crash diets drop water weight, not lasting fat.
- Muscle matters: building strength and eating enough fuel keeps weight off.
- Support wins: community and coaching carry you past the first 30 days.
- Investing in yourself is powerful: moms deserve the same priority we give our kids.
Homework:
Pick one habit to do for the rest of the year — like protein at breakfast or a daily walk — and commit.
