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.
