The Notes
- Lisa got into her current track like so many others. She got pregnant and was really looking forward to raising her child, but dreading the return to her traditional 60-80 hours per week job and what that would look like for her child rearing.
- This actually led her into her idea for Stroller Strides. She took her background in fitness and used the gap she saw in “new mom fitness” to get what would later become the business of Stroller Strides up and running. Lisa was looking for a community and when she didn’t see one, she made one.
- One thing that really helped to scale Stroller Strides into what it is today, aside from Lisa’s expertise in the fitness aspect of the business, is the fact that they created a comprehensive training and onboarding package for prospective franchisees to ensure that they were setting up the most effective Stroller Strides possible and were set up for success.

- Be on the lookout for Lisa’s book and podcast both called The Empowered Mama! Lisa’s heart and focus for all that she does is self care. That even though so many people preach to “put the oxygen mask on yourself first,” so many mothers simply don’t know how to do it.
- When it comes to making the time for self care, Lisa advocates a change in perspective by posing a single question: Do you want your child to take care of themselves the way you do, or do you want them to take care of themselves more than you do?

- When it comes to time management, the biggest tip she has is to schedule in the “marginal time” – time to go to the bathroom, a little time between meetings or events that helps to prevent the burnout that occurs when a person goes too hard for too long.
- Although The Empowered Mama first came as a book, Lisa realized that she wasn’t able to connect with people the way she wanted to, and that’s how her podcast of the same name was born.
