Welcome to Empowered Radio.

I am your host, Emma Montgomery, an online nutrition and fitness coach and creator of Shred with M.

Each week we'll talk all things nutrition, training, and mindset. You'll be able to take my tips and strategies and apply what you learn to see results

with both your body and your mind.

So without further ado, let's jump into the episode.

Hello and welcome back.

I hope you guys had an amazing week and holiday week, weekend and all of the things with the fourth. I'd say lots of you are probably just coming off a vacation or maybe some of you are starting your vacation. So thank you for tuning in, whether you are relaxing or getting back into the swing of things.

I know when you're hearing this, I will be ending my vacation with my family.

So thank you guys for tuning in.

But on to today's episode, today is very much about mindset and a mindset shift.

I think a lot of us, especially if you're a mom, we get caught up in this.

And so I wanted to touch on this because I actually had a comment on it was real that I had posted on Instagram.

And it was a full day of eating.

And a woman had commented.

And she wasn't being snarky so much in the comment because we even had like discussion below that.

And she asked like, do, you know, do you work?

Trying to indicate that I spent a lot of time worrying about what I ate, how I looked.

And her exact comment was, let me see here, would love to

spend days just focused on what I look like and eat. What an awesome lifestyle to be able to

have. So again, it might sound shitty. But in the way that she was meaning, I think she truly

just meant like, I would love to be able to take the time to focus on myself like that.

And of course, when I first read it, I typed back a comment and I had to delete, like I didn't post it.
