RACHEL B.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY!

I'm married to my husband, Mike. We have two very spirited and energetic boys - Grayson (almost 7) and Jack (almost 4)!

WHERE ARE YOU ORIGINALLY FROM?

I'm a native Coloradan! I grew up down in Centennial.

WHAT IS/WAS YOUR CAREER?

I am a Speech Language Pathologist. I work in the elementary school setting with kids from K-5. I love it!

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT FIT4MOM AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER?

After I had Grayson, I wanted to find a mom group where I could meet other moms to share stories and advice. I stumbled upon FIT4MOM and joined when Gray was 6 weeks old. I participated in Stroller Strides and Stroller Barre when the boys were younger and now I participate in Run Club and Body Well!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT FIT4MOM?

The community! With a full time job, I don't have as much free time to find mom friends. FIT4MOM has allowed me to have a village of other people who get it. I love seeing familiar faces in my workouts as well as participating in the Village events like Mom's Day Out, family events, and field trips at times.

WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU THE MOST SINCE BEING A PART OF FIT4MOM?

Seeing that other moms struggle and we're not alone in our journey and also seeing how strong we are despite that!

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS SURPRISED YOU ABOUT MOTHERHOOD?

How every parenting decision leads to five more

WHAT ARE 3 OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS?

The color teal, the ocean, and going to the mountains. (And my family, of course!)

WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST MOMMY MOMENT SO FAR?

Watching my kids find their own personalities and confidence

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A NEW MOTHER?

We are not meant to parent in isolation and it's okay that you need help

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?

Thank you so much to my fellow moms for inviting me in and becoming part of my community :)
