Our villages have gone virtual, and the one thing that isn’t shut down rn is *community* • Being a mom is exhausting, hard, mentally and physically taxing, and all of that is amplified right now with social distancing, shelter-in-place orders, and heightened fear and anxiety. We are here for you, Mama. Virtual workouts, virtual happy hours, virtual learning, tutorials, and activities — nationwide. We have over 300+ locations with moms in your local community (maybe even your neighbor!) One of our villages just hosted a virtual sourdough bread making class with a chef, while another had a therapist doing mama mental health Q&A. Oh, and @fit4momtrivalley is having Elsa and Ariel!!!! make virtual appearances this week for all their kiddos (check out their IG for more info) — We know you’re in need of a village, and right now, there’s hundreds waiting for you 💗 We are one team, supporting moms through #strengthinmotherhood, because we know #themotherhoodisreal.

Mom. Instructor. Nurse. Hero. 🖤 ⁣ ⁣ Featuring (& sending love to) this instructor who calls @fit4mom.severn home — meet @f4m_severn_cassondra! ⁣ ⁣ 1. Who is your ‘quaranteam’?⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ • Brian, Marley, Mia & Makayla (besides my lovely coworkers)!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 2. What’s your #FIT4MOM story?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ • I was new to the neighborhood and Mo caught me after a run and asked if I wanted to join in on the workout. I skeptically said yes and was very happy I did because I pretty quickly dove right into StrollerStrides after that. It was an amazing workout, I met so many awesome moms and my girls were able to meet new (and I’m sure it will be lifelong) friends! After a couple of months I participated in a #BodyBack session and could not believe how great I felt after that, inside and out! The accountability and encouragement these ladies gave was so motivating! I got pregnant with my third child and participated in Stroller Strides all the way up until she was born. While on maternity leave Mo had asked if I was interested in becoming an instructor and it was something I just couldn’t pass up! I have enjoyed every second working out with these ladies, their children and building relationships while keeping healthy and strong!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 3. What’s your quarantine snack of choice?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ • Other than alcohol?! Lol I kid —popcorn🍿⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 4. Favorite form of self-care lately?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ • Recently it’s been reading & exercising. Exercise for real gives me endorphins and makes me feel awake, motivated & more patient!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 5. Other than fitness, what’s your career?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ • I am a Labor and Delivery & Forensic Nurse Examiner in Baltimore City.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 6. What encouragement would you like to share with your fellow mamas?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ You are doing your best in this time and that is enough!
