55: Why Mums Should Live More Shameless with Sara Dean

Sara has a clear passion in helping to inspire women and in particular new mums to create greatness in all areas of their lives.

We met Sara in the Philippines and felt an instant connection with her. She runs an academy titled Shameless Mom Academy where she features her own podcast show. She is also the owner of Sync Fitness Boot Camp and Transformation Centre in Seattle.

Sara was blown away with the struggles that came with motherhood. She felt she completely lost her identity and knew there had to be another way. When she found her feet, she wanted to dedicate her focus to helping other women, who were either new to motherhood, or any woman that might need help, to transform into becoming the best version of themselves.

We talk about the physical challenges that come after giving birth, including a complete change in priorities and workout regimes. We also touch on the social expectations and pressures that are placed on new mums and how they are simply unrealistic.

We look into the importance of self-love and self-care, including the mindset around losing weight. We also discuss the ethical problems that come with particular companies in the fitness industry, including the type of weight loss packages that 'shame' new mums into buying their products.

Do you find yourself following fitness inspo on Instagram? We talk about why this could actually be bringing you down and provide more empowering ways in which you can replace this habit.

When you’re a new mum, any kind of movement can make you feel strong and powerful and Sara fills us in on all the reasons why!
