Have you ever caught yourself saying “oh I’m just not that person”? For instance, I’m not the “cross-fit mom”, or the “vegan meals” mom, or the type of mom who goes after wild dreams?

Ten years ago, my guest, Mamie Simmons, would’ve considered it a joke if someone said that she would own and operate an exercise group for moms. The thought was so far removed from her everyday life.

Funny enough, Mamie is now a self-proclaimed fitness lover! Not only is she is a wife and mom to two young kids, but she is also the owner and an instructor at iStroll Macon. iStroll is a national franchise fitness group for parents.

She proudly shares that the practices, lessons, and friends she has gained from iStroll influence her every day.

Mamie finds fulfillment instructing, encouraging, and motivating other mamas to chase goals and feel their best at iStroll, Macon!

More about the Gotcha Mama Podcast:

The Gotcha Mama Podcast is where we share honest stories of the joys and struggles of mom-life with young kids.

Each week host Amanda Bennett interviews a mom about topics ranging from awkwardly making mom friends, to chasing BIG dreams and finding purpose, to managing crippling anxiety and depression. You’ll hear stories from moms like you with the purpose to inspire, encourage, and entertain you.

We understand that motherhood can be lonely and make you doubt yourself. The Gotcha Mama Podcast exists to let you know that you are not alone as a busy mom of young kiddos, no matter what you’re dealing with.

The show is all about tearing down our insecurities as moms by honestly sharing our stories. And a little of what we’ve learned along the way.

We believe it’s a whole lot better riding the rollercoaster of motherhood together!
