Working nights and raising kids doesn’t leave a lot of room for macros and meal prep—and that’s exactly why this episode matters. We sit down with Kayla M. to unpack how she built sustainable habits while juggling night shift work, family responsibilities, and a life that rarely goes as planned. With guidance from Coach Kara, Kayla swapped the all-or-nothing mindset for a progress-over-perfection approach: flexible nutrition, compassionate self-talk, and showing up—even when it’s messy.
You’ll hear how she navigates sleep-schedule swings, handles family events without derailing goals, uses coaching for accountability, and models healthy behaviors for her kids. If you’re a working mom, shift worker, or anyone stuck waiting for “perfect conditions,” Kayla’s story is your proof that small steps stack into big change.
