Title: Empowered and Nourished: A Guide to Good Nutrition for Super Moms!
Dear Working Moms,
     To the extraordinary multitaskers, the relentless jugglers of responsibilities, and the unsung heroes who keep the world turning – this one's for you! We know that between the demanding workdays and tending to your family's needs, finding time for yourself can feel like a mission impossible. But fear not, for I’m here to remind you of the superpower that lies within good nutrition, not just for your family but for yourself too! 

  1. You Are the Heart of the Family:  As the heartbeat of your household, your well-being sets the tone for everyone else. Just like Wonder Woman needs her Lasso of Truth, you need the right nourishment to tackle each day with strength and grace. Prioritize your health, and watch how your family follows suit.
  1. Nourishment Equals Resilience:  The challenges of balancing work and family can be daunting, but a well-nourished body and mind can handle them like a seasoned warrior. Incorporate nutrient-rich foods into your diet like leafy greens, whole grains, lean proteins, and good fats. These will boost your energy levels and equip you to face any challenge that comes your way.
  1. Meal Prep: Your Sidekick for Success:  Time is often the “elusive villain”, but meal prep is your trusted sidekick! Plan your family's meals ahead of time to ensure balanced nutrition. It not only saves you precious minutes during the week but also ensures that everyone enjoys wholesome and homemade goodness and it will definitely save you time and money. This one piece of advice helped me so much during those crazy years!
  1. Slaying the Fast-Food Dragon:   In the fast-paced world, fast food may seem like a tempting ally. However, too much of it can lead to nutritional pitfalls. So, summon your inner strength and wield your kitchen tools to create delicious, healthier versions of fast-food favorites. Say goodbye to the fast-food dragon forever! You will be so happy you did!
 5.Family Adventure with Veggies:   Every superhero has an origin story, and yours starts in the produce aisle! Turn vegetable shopping into a family adventure. Let your kids pick a new veggie each week, and together, explore fun and tasty ways to prepare them. Your little sidekicks will not only love the experience but also develop a fondness for veggies! This idea was a winner in our family and they leaned a lot in the process!

  1. Water – The Elixir of Superpowers:   As you dash through your daily tasks, don't forget to stay hydrated! Just like Captain Marvel draws his strength from the stars, you draw yours from water believe it or not. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and drink up to stay refreshed and revitalized. Even setting a phone alarm helps to remember this important step. I love to add Young Living Vitality essential oils to my water like lemon, lime or grapefruit! (https://bit.ly/458RwMa)   
  1. Treat Time – Guilt-Free Indulgences:   Indulging in treats is essential for maintaining a balanced life. The key is to find healthier alternatives to satisfy those cravings. Whip up a batch of energy-boosting bliss balls, or enjoy a small piece of   dark chocolate to embrace your sweet tooth without any guilt (my favorite!)
8. The Power of Setting an Example:   Remember, your little ones are always watching. Be the role model they look up to by showcasing the value of good nutrition. More is caught than taught I always say! Demonstrate that eating healthy can be enjoyable and delicious, encouraging them to become strong and healthy superheroes themselves!

     In conclusion, dear working mamas, good nutrition is the invincible shield that protects both you and your family. Embrace the power of whole-food eating, and witness the transformation it brings to your lives. Nourish yourself to nurture your family, and together, you'll create an unstoppable force of wellness and love.
You are the epitome of strength and dedication, and your ability to balance work, family, and self-care is truly awe-inspiring. So, go forth, conquer each day, and remember that a well-nourished family is a mighty, unstoppable force!

With love, admiration and blessings for your health,
Carol (your fellow Super-Mom!)

Meet Carol Bercaw

 
     Hi! My name is Carol and I’m a married mom to three, now grown kids! I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart Jeff for 38 years and now I’m a new Nana! I’ve been a Physical Therapist for over 30 years and a Certified Health Coach. I have been in your shoes with neck and back pain myself and have overcome it! This makes me uniquely qualified to help you! My passion is to help working moms  naturally  feel their best, live pain free and find vibrant health so they can carry out their dreams!
     Life was going at top speed as I tried to do it all and do it well! I was homeschooling 3 children, doing all household chores, cooking healthy from scratch and working part time! I had “plates spinning” all over the place. But I was stressed and exhausted, living on caffeine and sugary Star Bucks lattes just to get through the day. I was even yawning in my patients faces in the afternoon!
     Then things went from bad to worse. Out of the blue I had neck and jaw pain (TMJ) that rocked my world. I really began to struggle.Have you every felt that way?  I felt like I was letting my family down. I felt as if I wasn’t being a good enough mother and wife or a good enough PT at work! I was already spread thin and now with pain I literally couldn’t exercise or sleep and I honestly felt awful!
     Then two important things happened.
 I got some additional help with my neck and jaw pain and it finally went away. (You know even physical therapists need therapists!) Next, my good friend Cathy told me about a natural source of energy and I was able to ditch the coffee and caffeine! I started sleeping better and, oh boy, I had more energy to do my work, as well as be with my kids and not be a grump every day!
     Today I am still just as busy working and being a fun-loving Nana to little Olivia, although I still have trials I face! I have found natural ways to bring down my stress and fatigue and I can live the life I feel called to live, serving you, as a Certified National Health Coach and Physical Therapist (in the state of Florida). There are many experts in this field, however, they typically do not have the personal experience I can bring to the table, both as a therapist, health coach and mom. I am here for you! If you are ready to be free of the pain, fatigue and stress, I look forward to helping you live the life you want so you can thrive!
