The Sanity Solution with Brittany Anderson: Finding Balance as a High-Performing Mom

Words of Wellness with Shelly

Motherhood often comes with an unspoken expectation that self-care is somehow selfish – a luxury that should take a backseat to the endless needs of family. In this refreshing conversation, high performance coach Brittany Anderson flips this narrative on its head, declaring that making space for ourselves isn't selfish but profoundly selfless.
"The more we're able to show up for us, the better we are able to show up for all the others that need us," Brittany explains, sharing how her own journey from teaching stroller fitness classes to competing in Ironman competitions while raising three young children ultimately led her to coaching other women seeking accountability and clarity in their lives.

What makes this episode particularly powerful is the discussion around modeling behavior for our children. Brittany recounts how her teenage son noticed she maintained her workout routine throughout their entire family vacation – a small but significant indication of how our habits are constantly being observed and internalized by our children. "They catch things. They are not taught them," she emphasizes, raising the important question: what habits do you want your children to catch from you?
The conversation expands beyond physical fitness to explore the critical importance of community for mothers. Both Brittany and Shelly share how easily women can feel isolated in their struggles, whether navigating motherhood, business challenges, or life transitions. Yet when we create safe spaces to connect and share vulnerabilities, we often discover we're not alone in our experiences. This revelation inspired Brittany's exciting new venture, "Limitless" – a mastermind group for teenage girls that provides the mentorship, community, and personal development opportunities typically reserved for adults.
Whether you're a mother seeking permission to prioritize yourself, someone looking to build more consistent wellness habits, or simply curious about creating meaningful communities, Brittany's practical "S3 Summer Era" approach – focusing on sweat, sun, and sanity – offers an accessible framework anyone can implement today.
