I see you there, Mama.
Swamped down, holding your family together.
Being the backbone that has no choice but to show up daily, no matter how old your kids are.
And although it's the most rewarding thing you have ever done in your life...
Being a Mum is hard.
You'll feel more emotions in one day than you ever thought possible to feel in your entire lifetime.
You'll go from being thankful to pulling your hair out within seconds...
You'll wonder how so much love could fit into your heart...
Then be smacked in the face with a sippy cup while off in a daze.
I'm Stacey Turner.
A Mother to 2 beautiful daughters, a dietitian, an energy worker and one of the co-founders over at The Chief Life.
Prior to having kids... I just didn't get it.
I worked with so many Mums to help them regain their "pre-baby weight" that they all claimed they wanted to achieve...
But when I would give them the answers, the results wouldn't follow.
And it's because as a Mum...
Things are different.
But that's only something another mother would understand.
Something I now know and understand...
So many mums take on what I call Martyr Motherhood - putting everyone else first...
And it's typically taken to the extent of said Mum feeling energy-less, soul-less and less confident in her abilities as a woman.
I'm not here to tell you that you're a bad or incapable Mother for putting others first.
Because that's just your mother instincts shining through and you'll continue to put your family first.
Always.
What I am here to help you with though...
Is to look after yourself because you're a beautiful person worthy of love and care.
And doing so may help to heal any birth and/or past traumas you might hold.
Learn to love the lady in the mirror...
And help you to stand as the confident woman I know you can be.
So despite talking about "post-baby weight" "the number on the scales" and "the hormonal storm you're most likely stuck in right now," below...
Know that you are beautiful...
You are heard...
You are seen...
And I want to support you on the journey to believing this for yourself.
Along the way, we'll uncover some great health benefits...
But most of all will be the transformation of the way you feel, act and think about yourself.
X No more self-sabotage.
X No more only eating the kid's offcuts and leftovers for lunch.
X No more never allowing time for yourself.
You'll stay stuck in this dystopian land of body guilt and shaming trying to claw your way out but only ever momentarily breaking free...
Because you're most likely stuck in the hormonal storm like all of the mums we work with were.
See, we've been told for years that to lose weight and gain our ideal body you just have to eat less and exercise more.
Only it's a broken system because they don't account for your body type, the output life requires of you as a Mum...
And what we know to be the two most important parts:
1. What your hormones are doing? and...
2. What your body's preferred fuel for energy is?
Fortunately for you (and the other Mums we've worked with over the years), this is what we help you to work out and transform to optimal levels in just a few short weeks.
Given that you're a Mum... And you've probably tried dieting before...
If you followed the modern way of losing weight (eating less and training more), you're most likely stuck in a hormonal storm.
Causing your hormones to make you feel lethargic, more hungry and craving food most days.
Not to mention the low-level anxiety that is constantly there due to overactive cortisol levels.
And now that your incredible body has created life...
You're rewarded with heightened hormonal states that can last for the rest of your life.
Partner this with the low-calorie dieting you've potentially tried before chasing the "pre-baby" numbers on the scales...
And it's safe to say that your body is now potentially a "sugar burner."
Causing you to have an incredible sweet tooth or be a savoury addict.
And probably the cause of your biggest "slip-ups."
When you're a sugar burner your body gets really good at using carbohydrates (sugar) for quick energy...
Given that you're in a tired state for the majority of your life (since having kids) your body does you a solid favour and stores the rest of the energy as body fat...
You know, to help you out of that tired state on a rainy day...
Only the rainy day never comes...
So your body continues to store adipose tissue (body fat)...
No matter how little you eat or how much you move.
But, know that it's not all doom and gloom.
Realistically we can snap you out of being a sugar burner in roughly 14 days (sometimes even less).
Meaning, your body will still enjoy the carbohydrates you're eating but will favour fat as the main fuel source.
Leading your body to use your own fat stores first.
And helping you to drop any excess or unwanted body fat.
Note* This is not a ketogenic or high-fat diet
Now, this will only partway help you out of the hormonal storm.
Food is only part of the equation.
This is why on Chief Mamas, nutrition is one of the main things we focus on...
But not the only one.
You'll continue to yo-yo your weight, feel energy-less and feel like this is just the way your life has to be from now on...
Unless you make the extra few small changes we help you with.
See, it also comes down to the small practices in life...
Like how well you sleep, the way you breathe, the state of your mind, etc.
Things you shouldn't have to think about...
But if you're not taking note of them... They're adding to why you feel rundown and overwhelmed right now.
HOWEVER...
The largest uncovering we will do for you is in your mind!
Without YOU being certain as to why you are constantly chasing a different weight or new look for yourself...
And then forever self-sabotaging once you start to see some progress...
You'll keep landing back at square one, Mama!

You're not broken
You're not beat
You've just been pushed in the wrong direction.
And the Chief Mamas program is designed to help you feel confident in yourself and your abilities to crush life.
When I first became a mother, the transition was like being hit by a freight train.
So, I pieced together a 12-week program to help me (and the other Mums I took along for the ride) incorporate healthy practices into our ridiculously busy life as mothers.
Each week comes with a new focus to help you layer each practice - week by week - without feeling overwhelmed.
But most of all, It comes with support.
You're already the backbone of your family...
The support network I have created for you is like the support belt you've always needed to help ease the load.

I'm here for you...
To help and support you through your journey to finally nourish your body and learn to love the AMAZING woman you are.
... Are you here for yourself?
My biggest lesson/take away from this program is "something is better than nothing". When I feel like I am putting too much pressure on myself, or feeling like I am failing, I remember that line and try to give myself a bit of a break. I also try to look at the bigger picture of where I was at the beginning of the program, compared to where I am now, and the little nuggets of knowledge I have picked up along the way. I feel like I have the tools to make life-long changes and now need to try to implement those tools to build it into my day-to-day life.
The Chief Mamas program was so much more than I could have expected in so many ways. The program not only includes healthier eating and exercise, it also focuses on aspects of your life which are core to who you are as a person such as sleep, effective hydration, breathing techniques and removing stress from your day-to-day life. Stacey was fantastic at guiding me through the program every step and I felt more accountable and committed as a result of her involvement and regular communication. I have made life-long changes and I know I am better off for doing The Chief Mamas program. Thank you Stacey from the bottom of my heart!
I do mean it Stacey, I'm so glad I signed up and I will definitely be trying to continue to lead the Chief Mamas way."
- Georgie, Mum of 2 under 5.
By far my biggest takeaway from the program was recognising that there are so many other little things I can focus on, not just food and exercise, that can help me feel better within myself.
Incredibly grateful for the Chief Mamas program for giving me the kickstart & confidence I needed only a few months after having a baby. Thank you Stace <3"
- Bree, Mum to 1 under 1.
Other 'challenges' I have done have purely focused on food/exercise, but you have taught us to focus on our whole selves - our mind, stress, sleep, technology habits, and lots more. It has been wonderful to have this facilitated by a fellow Mum who knows what we are all going through in our day to day lives. The group has been supportive and welcoming and is a wonderful place to interact with other Mums.
I have learned things that I will utilise in my day to day from now on to make ensure a healthy mind, body and relationship with myself."
- Gem, Mum of 2 under 5.
This program has helped me to work towards balance in all aspects of being a healthy mum. The tools and weekly focus made it simple to slowly incorporate changes that over time have become sustainable.
The weekly chats were invaluable and so supportive! We laughed, we cried, we connected!
This is truly a beautiful program that offers so much more!! It's designed to work with you, where you are at, at any given moment as we all know life happens, especially with kids!!"
- Liss, Mum of 3 under 10.
1. No alcohol for over 12 weeks and not being tempted even with challenging and exceptional circumstances!
2. No longer resorting to unfavourable foods when I feel down.
Also, I've really enjoyed being part of such a supportive group of Mum's with kids of all ages and women from all walks of life!
Moving has been another highlight for me. I love thinking about what I can do each day to move my body with how I'm feeling.
Breathing exercises have been extremely helpful, I use them all the time throughout my day. Free and easy to do with so much benefit!
I'm getting much better at taking "me time" and actually enjoy spending time by myself now!
And finally, my sleep has improved and continues to improv despite a sore bum (as I was knocked over by a car towards the end of the 12-weeks, bruising my tailbone!!!!)"
- Heidi, Mum of 4 grown up adult babies
