The One With The Parents

How to transform your body while raising kids, navigating chaos & staying sane.

This episode is for every mum, dad and soon-to-be parent juggling kids, work, sleep deprivation, endless routines — and still trying to look after their health.

We dive into the raw truth nobody talks about: exhaustion, guilt, body changes, losing your identity, the pressure to “bounce back,” and comparing yourself to your pre-kids self.

Tanika shares the mum perspective, Lewis the dad perspective, and David brings what life looks like with a new baby on the way.

We break down the 7 biggest challenges parents face — time scarcity, sleep problems, energy management, nutrition struggles, social pressure, body confidence and constantly changing routines — and remind you that you're not struggling because you're weak… you're struggling because you're a parent.

Then we give practical solutions that actually work in real life:

•⁠ ⁠Minimum Effective Dose training

•⁠ ⁠45-minute parent-proof workouts

•⁠ ⁠Planning training around kids’ routines

•⁠ ⁠Sleep quality fixes

•⁠ ⁠10-minute high-protein meals

•⁠ ⁠Weekend structure that keeps progress on track

•⁠ ⁠How to ditch the guilt and prioritise yourself

We finish with the mindset shifts every parent needs and real advice from seasoned pros.

👉 You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re doing more than you think — and you can get strong, fit and confident with a plan built for the life you have now.

Perfect for any parent wanting more control, confidence and momentum — even in the chaos.
