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 27 -Swimming Pigs, Cruise Ships, and Vertigo
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I share my full vertigo story — from my first unexplained attack to years of dizziness, vomiting, fear, and learning how to trust my body again. What started as a vacation story (yes, including the famous swimming pigs in the Bahamas) turned into a much deeper conversation about chronic vertigo, control, motherhood, nervous system health, and why healing matters more than aesthetics.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed by medicine, pushed through symptoms, or wondered how to live fully in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
