Get to know me!

I am Lindsey Weiers; I bet you already figured that out! I married my husband, Brad, in 2016 after dating for five years, Funny story about that…I refused to go on a date with him because we graduated high school together. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the class of 2008’s Biggest Flirt. (Yep, that was his senior award…but if I am being totally honest, it was also mine.) It took four months, a bottle of wine, a pepperoni pizza, and some convincing from his older sister to give him “just one date.” We now have two beautiful children, Kelson and Kaisley. Marriage is hard but there isn’t anything I would change about the life we are continuing to build together.

We live south of the Twin Cities in Minnesota and will never move because of family and ice fishing. We live on 14 wooded acres, our little slice of heaven on earth, so we love all things outdoors with the exception of racoons and mosquitos. (and recently pine squirrels) Our marriage is perfect, our kids always listen, and our house is always clean.

HA Okay, back to reality!

I drink an abundant amount coffee to survive, make my kids corn dogs too often, and have piles of laundry covering our floor as I type this. Life is messy, chaotic, and perfectly imperfect. I yell at Kelson when I am in a bad mood. I scold my husband for having too many beers on a Thursday night. And I sometimes take a bubble bath just for some peace and quiet time.

Motherhood, marriage, and life are hard! Like, really freaking hard! I hope you find comfort, courage, and confidence through my page and learning that you’re not alone. My goal is to help other moms find humor and happiness in the chaos of our day to day shit shows. My Instagram account is also a great look into the daily ins and outs of survival and the pursuit of happiness.

After completely losing myself and battling postpartum anxiety after having Kelson, I decided to put my foot down and go all in on my own health and wellness. I was taking the year off from teaching to be a new mom and finish my second Masters degree to become a principal. It appeared that I had it all together from the outside but I spent most days from the couch without a bra on. I felt like I was only good for cleaning the house, nursing Kelson, and completing online assignments. I was sad, anxious, and hated looking in the mirror.

So, I joined my first online challenge group as my final attempt at creating this healthy lifestyle I wanted so badly but could never stick to. (I was the girl who tried every wrap, pill, shake, gym membership. You name it, I probably tried it!) I knew I needed the accountability, nutrition support, easy workouts from home…the total solution. To be really honest, I thought this would be another failed attempt and I would remain the new mom who held onto her baby weight, had low energy, used breastfeeding as an excuse to binge eat, and would continue to hate looking in the mirror. Little did I know at that time, I had finally found the solution I had been looking for. The community of women. The workouts on demand. The incredible nutrition programs. The answer I was looking for that would completely change my life. I know! I know! It sounds so corny! Trust me, I didn’t know the extent it would actually change the direction of my life. I am currently on leave from teaching to pursue wellness coaching full time and help other women take their first step toward finally crush their health goals.

Thanks for being on the journey of life with me and stopping by my page! I can’t wait to get to know you better!
