EP 137 - Balancing Fitness as a Busy Mom w/Rhonda Danyluk

In today’s episode of the Strong Jon Fitness Podcast, I am joined by Rhonda Danyluk, owner of Healthy Concepts.

Rhonda helps dog moms live their best lives through nutrition, fitness, and family balance. She shares her journey from being a vet tech to becoming a nutrition and fitness coach, with a focus on canine fitness. 

Here are some of the key takeaways from our conversation:

• Setting non-negotiables and minimums for self-care is essential, even if it's just five minutes a day.

• Balancing personal and family responsibilities requires letting go of unrealistic expectations and sharing the load with partners and children.

• A time audit can help identify opportunities for self-care and prioritize activities that bring joy and fulfillment.

• Small changes and habits can have a compounding effect over time, leading to significant improvements in overall well-being.

• Grieving the loss of certain roles and stages in life is a natural part of the transition to new responsibilities and priorities. Open communication and support are essential for balancing family life and fitness goals.

• And there are so many more!
