"Moms for Healthy Eating" - not just surviving but thriving!

Let's talk about our primary foods. Foods that feed our body and soul. These are relationships, career, exercise, and spirituality. How are you doing with those 4 important aspects of your life? They are vital to our well being, even more so than the foods we put in our mouths. Let's talk and learn about steps each of us can take to nourish ourselves. 

Meetup cost is $10 per person.

Meetup description:

This monthly group is for Moms with young kids that are interested in healthy ways for themselves and their families, as well as supporting each other in their health and fitness goals. I know that being a mom is not easy, it stretches us in many different directions, and sometimes taking care of ourselves is the last thing on our minds. In this group we will focus on taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of our precious littles ones. We will learn simple ways to introduce healthier foods, more exercise, tips on grocery shopping, self-care ideas, cooking tips, and more - all for more energy, better mood, optimal weight, glowing skin, and improved confidence. Come and join us!

Why you should join this group:

• A Personal Support System

Group coaching gives you the opportunity to share your feelings with others and develop deeper connections, making your sessions more meaningful. Knowing you are not alone in your journey will help you develop the confidence to address your challenges and the motivation to succeed.

• Higher Likelihood of Achieving Goals

You’re much more likely to stick to your gym routine if you have a gym buddy, right? The same is true with group coaching. When individuals are part of a group, they procrastinate less, accomplish more, and reach their goals faster.

• Benefit from Collective Wisdom

You’ll brainstorm solutions, open creativity channels, and uncover opportunities you may not have discovered working solo. Have you ever been in a study group where you’ve learned from a classmate who gets it? Other group members help you master new concepts like a pro!

• Gain a New Perspective

When you work alone, you examine situations from one perspective – yours. But when you work in a group, you’re exposed to a variety of insights that empower you to see a situation from multiple angles and motivate you to develop new solutions. Ever get a precious nugget of advice from a really honest friend that you just couldn’t see on your own? It’s like that.

• A Team Invested in Your Success

When you work in a group, the whole team celebrates your success. Just like when a hockey player scores a goal, resulting in a win for the entire team. In this case, no ice skates are required!

• Turn Work into Play

It’s more fun to go out to dinner with friends than by yourself, right? Working with a group is a social event that participants look forward to. You’ll join a close-knit group that is energizing, motivating and most of all – fun! Group members often become lifelong friends.
