As a mom of four, my client could have easily said she didn’t have the time. And honestly, she didn’t. Between school drop-offs, meals, practices, and everything else that comes with motherhood, her schedule was packed. She could have also found a million other things to spend her money on—bills, kids' activities, or family vacations. But you know what she didn’t do? She didn’t let excuses win.
Does she regret her decision to invest in herself? Not for a second.
The Excuse Trap
It’s wild how many women I talk to who are just like this client—women who know they want a change but feel stuck in a loop of excuses.
And I get it. Life is busy, overwhelming even. It’s easy to tell yourself “not now” or “maybe later.” But here’s the thing: What’s really stopping you?
Time? You’ll never “find” more of it. You have to create it.
Money? You’re worth the investment.
Fear? That’s normal, but growth starts with leaning into discomfort.
Here’s what breaks my heart: I see you.
The Struggles You Don’t Talk About
🚨 Struggling just to have enough energy to get through the day.
🚨 Avoiding intimacy because you don’t feel good in your own skin.
🚨 Going through the motions, day after day, with no joy.
🚨 Hating the way you feel in your clothes.
Sound familiar? You might think this is just about losing weight, but it’s so much more than that.
What’s Really at Stake
This is about more than shedding pounds or fitting into smaller jeans.
It’s about:
The moments you’ll never get back with your kids. When you’re too tired to play or too frustrated to be present, those moments slip away.
Being the example they deserve to see. Your kids are watching you. They’re learning how to value themselves by how you value yourself.
The love and care you deserve to show yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup. When you prioritize your health and happiness, it ripples out to everyone around you.
It’s Not Too Late to Choose You
If this hits home, know that you’re not alone. It’s not too late to rewrite your story. You can choose to show up for yourself, to take the first step, and to embrace the change you deserve.
Because the truth is, investing in yourself isn’t selfish—it’s the most selfless thing you can do for your family. When you feel your best, you can give your best.
So, what’s stopping you?
Today, choose you. The rest will follow.
