It’s their sixth sense I swear 😅
I got asked the other day “how do you have alone time to workout?” — and the truth is I don’t have the alone time; I just make the time to do the workouts alongside the chaos with kids.
Today it took all of 3 mins and they were already driving their trains right in to the workout room & waiting for me to change & get started.
Do they workout with me? No, they just want to be right next to me.
Do they fight? Yes, I have to break up fights & arguments often.
Do they force me to pause & take breaks? Yes, yes they do.
I’ve been on my personal health & fitness journey for 7.5 years, welcoming 3 babies in there and now raising toddler BOYS through it — and if there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that:
•there will not magically be more time in the day,
•the days will not get “less busy”,
•and if you want it, you’ll have to make time for it 🫶🏼
It’s not easy… but that’s what makes it so rewarding imo. You get done and you get to say “damn that was hard but *I* did that” 👏🏼 and no one can take that from you!!!
It’s not easy, but it IS that simple.
If you want a chance to do some of the workouts I’ve been doing this year (I created them all with toddlers hanging off my feet literally lol, so they can get done through the chaos) — grab the link in my bio for Strong Mom Reset Vol. 2 🩷
The key is to keeping it simple so it can stay sustainable through your busy seasons of life!!
Also, shoutout to our turkey friends “Gavin, Brayden & Jace” today — you were the real mvps 😎

As a mom of three toddlers myself, I completely relate to the challenge of finding alone time to work out. It feels like as soon as I start changing or setting up, my kids magically appear, just like Emma described with her toddlers driving trains into the workout room. Their curiosity makes it tough to focus, but I’ve found that embracing their presence instead of fighting it helps me stay consistent. One trick I’ve learned is to turn workouts into a semi-social activity. While my kids don’t join me in doing the exercises, they love being nearby. Sometimes I set up a little play area with toys or cushions close to where I’m working out, so they feel included without interrupting too much. It's a fine balance between managing interruptions and not stressing over perfection. Breaking up occasional sibling fights or pausing for toddler needs is part of the reality, but it’s also a reminder to practice patience and flexibility. Over time, making workouts simple and short means I can maintain them despite the chaos. It’s about progress, not perfection. Following a consistent routine and creating workouts designed for these busy seasons—like Emma’s Strong Mom Reset—helps me stay motivated. These workouts are tailored to moms who can’t spare much uninterrupted time but want to keep postpartum fitness and strength building on track. Lastly, celebrating small wins is crucial. Every workout done, even with pauses and distractions, is a victory. It reflects real commitment amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood. To all moms juggling toddlers and fitness, you’re not alone—and yes, you absolutely can make time for yourself and your health.
