The Wod Mom – Who Is She? Well it’s me, but it’s you too.

Hey Everyone.

I am passionate about my family, and I am passionate about CrossFit and this is why I chose to start TheWodMom.com. The community of people that exists within CrossFit is a supportive family that I’m not sure the outside world really understands. More importantly, the women within CrossFit support each other and I believe we need to continue to let this camaraderie trickle into other areas of life. Despite the fact that this supportive environment exists, women and girls are still constantly exposed to advertising and images that slowly chip away at their self esteem. Advertising seems to tell us that women need to look a particular way in order to be OK. 

Another reason I started TheWodMom.com is because I know how hard it can be to balance life as a mom.  There’s careers, family, your home, CrossFit… and it can all be very overwhelming sometimes. Without CrossFit though, I think I might have already lost my marbles at this point. CrossFit has always been a stress outlet for me that allows me to focus on ONE thing and just BE in that moment. I also appreciate the other women and men at CrossFit that are going through the same thing I am yet there they are day after day. I think making fitness a priority is a good thing to teach our children.
