Episode 235
Tuesday, 16 June, 2026
Send us Fan MailThis one's for every mom whose week is built around practices, meets, and the pool-deck waiting game. It's honest, real-talk strategy for squeezing your own training into a life that runs on everyone else's schedule — across postpartum all the way to perimenopause. No interview, just usable tactics, and it's landed with way more than the swim crowd.Today I speak with my fellow Swim Moms, Laura and JoAnne. And while you may think this episode is just an excuse to talk with my friends outside of swim practice, Laura and JoAnne share so much valuable intel on how to make time for your own workouts when your shuttling kids to their sports practices and meets. Laura, a mom of 2, is a recovering triathlete and a Commander in the Coast Guard. JoAnne, a mom of 3, has always used sports as a way to stay fit, but fell off the wagon after her daughter was born. When her oldest daughter was 8, she found her way back to fitness.We talk about:-being active as kids-becoming a morning person-different struggles with different age kids-setting the example for your kids-different seasons of the year-done is better than perfect-making family memoriesTime Stamps1:00 introduction5:59 we we stay fit9:45 changing fitness after each kid14:10 shifting to get up early19:05 shifts with older kids24:50 adapting to different seasons30:10 advice to your former self34:45 looking ahead to the next stage44:00 rapid fire questions CONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.
