"Your health and fitness journey is your health and fitness journey. And to be successful, you have to have all of the pieces come together." - Melissa Vogel   In this episode, host Jana Short interviews Melissa Vogel, the owner of Melissa Vogel Fitness and the creator of Busy to Bomb Fit Mom. Melissa shares her story of hope, which involves hitting rock bottom multiple times and losing herself in her marriage and motherhood. She explains how these experiences led her to transform her life and become a successful fitness trainer and coach. Melissa emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to health and fitness, debunking the myth of instant gratification and highlighting the need for mindset work, self-love, and self-worth. She also discusses the dangers of relying on quick fixes like weight loss drugs and the significance of maintaining muscle mass as we age.
