It’s been a season — moving houses, marathon prep, wedding planning, launching a new program — and somehow keeping the kids, workouts, and business afloat. In this solo Q&A, I’m getting real about what it looks like to juggle all the things without losing yourself in the process. From marathon training and moving into our dream home, to navigating motherhood, building my business, and staying grounded through change — I’m answering your questions about fitness, mindset, nutrition, and balance. This is one of those cozy, girl-chat style episodes — raw, real, and hopefully encouraging. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance your health goals with the chaos of real life, this one’s for you. _____ Mentioned in this episode: EMPWR App (new program launches Nov 17) CLEARSTEM & Complexion Skincare Toonie Moonies s’mores bites  TruFru Dark Chocolate Blueberries Redmond Sea Salt Simple Mills “Sweet Thins” Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Ashwaghanda supplement Sam’s LINKS: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7-day trial* https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide: https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs: https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs   Follow Sam:Insta: @samcfit_ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine _____ Blokes + Joi Wellness | code: SAMCFITPOD *50% off all labs on both sites* https://blokes.co/samcfitpod https://choosejoi.co/samcfitpod  PUORI Go to https://puori.com/pages/SAMCFIT and use the code SAMCFIT at checkout for 20% offAquaTru Head to AquaTru.com now and get 20% off your purifier using promocode SAM.
