Why pick 5 when these 6 came to me so easily?😅

But seriously… WTF.

These are six of my biggest nutrition and women’s health horrors right now and unfortunately, I could have kept going.

What’s missing from the list?

Drop your biggest women’s health, sports nutrition, pregnancy, postpartum, or perimenopause “WHY ARE WE STILL DOING THIS?” In the comments.

Call them out and replace them with something better.

Because while venting can be therapeutic, change happens when we pair frustration with advocacy, better questions, and real solutions.

This morning, Soli helped me open our boxes as I start getting organized for some Mother’s Day events.

Tiberius woke up, took one look, and decided he was opening his own “Brodo shop.” Fully unprompted. Fully committed.

And honestly… that made it even better.

Brodo has been a staple in my life for years, so getting to build community around something I genuinely love has felt easy in the best way. But what’s been most special is seeing how much of these conversations get absorbed without me even realizing it.

Watching Tiberius connect to it, play with it, make it his own, it’s just really cool.

Can’t wait to take him to the real Brodo shop in the coming weeks.

Anyway… Brodo. It’s for everyone 🧡

The work isn’t dramatic. It’s repetitive, uncomfortable, and mostly invisible -> and it is here where everything shifts.

If this resonates, save it for the days it feels like nothing is working, share it with someone who needs the reminder, and let it be proof that the quiet work counts.

Here for you always🫶🏽

I miss fast.
Or maybe I miss what fast used to feel like.

Because this version?
She’s sprinting on broken sleep.
Fueling a human.
Training in the margins of a life that looks nothing like it used to.

And still… there’s this pull to find it again.
Not just for performance, but for identity. For connection. For feeling at home in my body.

This is the tension I hear from women every day:
the comparison,
the pressure to perform the same (or better),
on a timeline that doesn’t match real life.

Motherhood.
Aging.
Injury.
Life shifts the baseline.

It’s not about getting back.
It’s about building forward.

This week, choose effort over expectation.
Show up, move your body, and let it be enough.

Because coming home to your body doesn’t happen by forcing it,
it happens by meeting it where it is and staying there.

In it with you,
Xx Mama Mel
