If you’ve ever said, “I just need to be more consistent,” you’re not alone. For many moms, consistency feels like the golden ticket to better routines, calmer mornings, and finally getting on top of all the things. But if consistency feels just out of reach—despite your best intentions—there’s a reason for that.

Hey Mom, feeling like you’ve run a marathon—except the finish line keeps moving, and all you did was juggle laundry, kids, and maybe a 5-minute plank? Yeah, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about why you’re so exhausted even though you’re “crushing” your fitness goals.
