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 8 - Stop Waiting for Someday
In this episode, I’m breaking down the myth of the “perfect time” to start. As moms, we’re always waiting for life to slow down — after the holidays, after vacation, when the kids are older. But the truth? Life never slows down. The good news: back-to-school is basically New Year’s for moms — a natural reset point when routines come back and structure makes change easier.
I’ll share why now is the best time to build momentum, why perfection isn’t the goal, and how the Fierce in 8 Challenge was designed to help you finally finish what you start.
- The “perfect time” doesn’t exist — waiting just keeps you stuck.
- Back-to-school is like a New Year for moms: a built-in fresh start.
- September has momentum without the guilt and pressure of January.
- Small actions (a walk, protein at breakfast, water before meals) create motivation.
- Starting now means 3 months of consistency before the holidays hit.
- The Fierce in 8 Challenge gives you workouts, a meal plan, coaching, and accountability — the structure you need to finally stick with it.
