Building a Business During Nap Time // Motherhood & Entrepreneurship
Motherhood changes everything: your priorities, your energy, your routines, and especially your work schedule. As a health coach, I used to think I had my days planned down to the minute. Then I had a baby and realized life laughs at your routines.
In this episode, I’m getting real about what it looks like to run a business around nap schedules, changing rhythms, and the constant push-pull between wanting to do it all and needing to rest.
I'll discuss:
- The constant juggle of client calls, naps, and rest (& why it’s okay to admit it’s hard)
- How I restructured my business to protect my energy and family time
- The mindset shift that helped me stop feeling so guilty about work & rest
- What my real-life wellness routines look like with a toddler in tow
- Why you can’t pour into others (or your business) if you’re running on empty

There’s something no one tells you about postpartum…
Most moms are SEVERELY undereating.
Not always on purpose, or because they’re trying to “bounce back.”
But because motherhood is one giant distraction from your own needs.
You grab bites between diaper changes.
You finish the crusts from your kid’s sandwich.
You reheat your coffee three times and call it breakfast.
You run on adrenaline, not fuel.
And meanwhile, you’re:
✨ recovering from birth
✨ (maybe) breastfeeding (which burns hundreds of calories a day)
✨ producing hormones
✨ regulating blood sugar
✨ managing stress
✨ getting broken sleep
Your body is doing Olympic-level work on less calories than your baby is eating.
When you’re undereating postpartum, your hormones don’t have the resources they need.
So they respond the only way they know how:
💥 intense cravings
💥 mood swings
💥 anxiety
💥 rage episodes
💥 insomnia
💥 irregular cycles
💥 low milk supply
💥 stubborn weight changes
💥 bloating and constipation
Not because your body is broken, but because you NEED more fuel to keep everything running appropriately!
Your healing deserves more than just coffee for breakfast, a forgotten-about sandwich, or half-a-handful of pretzels.

And I promise, you don’t need a complicated plan or super specific foods to fix this.
You just need to be nourished enough for your body to feel safe again.
If you’re a mom trying to function on too little food, too little sleep, and too much stress, you don’t have to do this alone.

DM me and I’ll walk you through how we restore your hormones, your energy, and your digestion inside 1:1 coaching, without adding more to your plate.

We grew up thinking PMS was supposed to be miserable, but here’s what your body might be trying to tell you 👇
💥 Mood swings = Often a sign you're under-eating, under-fueling, or overstressed (your luteal phase needs WAY more energy)
🍫 Intense cravings = Not a lack of discipline - usually a sign your blood sugar isn’t stable enough or that you’re under-eating. Your hormones rely on steady fuel.
😴 Exhaustion = Your metabolism slows down in the luteal phase. If you don’t increase your intake, you crash.
🔥 Cramps + heavy bleeding = Often connected to inflammation, mineral imbalances, or stress keeping your hormones from clearing properly.
😩 Anxiety or irritability = When cortisol is high, progesterone struggles - which makes you feel on edge and “not yourself.”
None of this means your body is broken.
It means your body is begging for support.
More nourishment, rest, balanced meals, nervous system safety, & consistency!
And yes - PMS can improve dramatically when you stop trying to “power through” and instead actually give your body what it needs. I talk more about this in a couple of different Paige Talks Wellness episodes.
If your cycle feels like a monthly chaos event, you don’t have to deal with it alone.
Inside my 1:1 coaching, we rebuild your hormones through nourishment, nervous system care, and simple habits you can actually stick to.

So many women come to me saying the same thing:
“I feel like I’ve tried everything… but I’m still bloated, exhausted, and scared to eat normally.”
And when I ask what they’ve tried, it’s always:
• an elimination diet
• a protocol they found on TikTok
• a supplement stack that cost way too much money
• a 3-food “safe list” they’re terrified to expand
• tiny meals they eat out of fear, not preference
What they haven’t tried?
👉 Support that actually feels safe
👉 Real nourishment
👉 Someone guiding them step-by-step
👉 A plan built for their life, not some influencer’s lifestyle
👉 Sustainable habits instead of gut-healing bootcamp
Inside my 1:1 coaching, women learn how to:
✨ Eat satisfying meals without symptoms
✨ Stop fearing foods like dairy or broccoli
✨ Support their digestion with simple routines
✨ Understand their hormones (instead of fighting them)
✨ P**p regularly without laxatives
✨ Live their lives without micromanaging every ingredient
But my favorite part?
The moment they realize:
“Oh… this doesn’t have to be miserable to work.”
Healing doesn’t have to be serious, strict, or stressful.
It just has to be supported.
If you’re craving a calmer, clear, more doable path with a coach who won’t put you on a cleanse or tell you to cut out half your diet, this is exactly what I help my 1:1 clients do: heal their gut, balance hormones, and find peace with food again. My 1:1 coaching spots are open - DM me and let’s chat!

14/11/2025

I work with so many women who come to me exhausted from trying to “fix” their digestion.
They’ve eliminated food after food until their meals are tiny, bland, and scary.
They’re doing everything “right”
and their gut still feels off.
Because true gut healing doesn’t happen in a stressed, over-controlled body.
It happens when you feel nourished.
When you:
✔ eat actual meals
✔ stop fearing food
✔ feed your metabolism
✔ stop micromanaging every bite
✔ calm your nervous system
Gut healing isn’t supposed to make your life smaller.
It’s supposed to make your life easier.
If you’re craving that kind of healing… I’d love to support you.
My calendar is OPEN for 1:1 Discovery Calls if you’re ready to stop fighting your body and start healing it - send me a DM today.

If you’ve been telling yourself you just need to “get back on track,” this is your reminder.
You’re not lazy, you’re depleted.
You don’t need to try harder.
You need to feed yourself better.
✨ Hormone balance isn’t built through hustle - it’s built through nourishment.
✨ Energy doesn’t come from caffeine - it comes from enough calories, carbs, and rest.
✨ A regular cycle doesn’t come from supplements - it comes from safety.
Your body isn’t fighting you - it’s fighting for you.
If you’ve been running on empty, let this be the week you slow down.
Eat breakfast.
Rest when you can.
Give yourself the same care you’d give someone you love.
Being “perfect” isn’t going to help you heal. It happens when you finally stop punishing your body for being human.

When “Healthy” Isn’t Healthy // My Experience With Orthorexia
I used to follow every clean-eating rule I could find. From the outside, it looked like I had it all together. But on the inside? I was completely consumed by food.
In this episode, I’m opening up about my experience with orthorexia - the obsession with eating “right” that completely took over my life.
If you’ve ever felt anxious about food, struggled to eat without guilt, or wondered if your healthy habits might have gone too far, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk about:
- What orthorexia really is and how it hides under the label of “clean eating”
- The sneaky ways restriction and food fear can show up in your life
- My personal stories of control, anxiety, and the physical toll of under-fueling
- Why bingeing isn’t a failure - it’s your body’s cry for nourishment
- The signs that your “healthy” habits have crossed the line into obsession
- What healing from orthorexia actually looks like (and how freeing it can be)

There was a time when my whole life revolved around food. Not because I loved it, but because I feared it.
I thought being “disciplined” meant being strong.
I’d skip meals before dates so I could “eat normally” later.
I obsessed over ingredients, numbers, and control - and I called it “health.”
But I was always cold. Always tired. Always anxious.
My digestion was wrecked, my hormones were off, and I didn’t even realize it.
When I finally stopped restricting, everything changed:
🍞 I ate carbs again - and my energy came back.
🥛 I added full-fat dairy - and my reflux disappeared.
💩 I started eating enough - and my digestion actually worked.

The healthiest version of you doesn’t eat less - she eats enough.
Your body doesn’t want control. It wants consistency and care.
That’s the foundation of true food freedom. 🌿I’ll be sharing more tomorrow on this week’s Paige Talks Wellness episode.

You can eat all the “right” foods and still feel bloated every day.
Because digestion doesn’t just depend on what you eat - it depends on how safe your body feels.
If you’re constantly underfed, overstressed, or anxious about every ingredient, your gut’s going to react.
But that doesn’t mean that your body is broken. In fact, it’s trying to protect you!
Cutting back on more and more food groups won’t help your body heal. (And neither will volume eating, like eating giant mixing-bowl sized salads multiple times a day to “feel full without the calories.”)
You need more food, more rest, and a calmer nervous system.
That’s exactly what we work on inside my 1:1 coaching - finding what your gut actually needs to feel safe again.
DM me to schedule your free Discovery Call today so you don’t have to spend another day wondering what caused the bloat

06/11/2025

If you’ve tried all the diets and still feel bloated, tired, or stuck - it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
It’s because you’ve been taught to distrust your body.
You’ve been told to cut carbs when you’re tired.
To skip meals when you’re stressed.
To drink coffee instead of breakfast.
To shrink yourself instead of support yourself.
But your body isn’t trying to sabotage you.
It’s trying to survive.
That constant fatigue? Not laziness - it’s underfueling.
That bloating? Not gluten - it’s your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight.
That lack of motivation? Not weakness - it’s burnout from doing too much for too long.
You don’t need more rules. You need reconnection.
Inside my 1:1 coaching, I teach women how to actually listen to what their bodies are saying — and respond in ways that build trust instead of stress.
Because when your body feels safe, everything else starts working again.

Making Your Body Feel Like Your Home with Lisa Schlosberg
Lisa Schlosberg is the founder of Out of the Cave, LLC, where she combines her comprehensive expertise as a licensed social worker, integrative nutrition health coach, certified personal trainer, and registered yoga teacher to guide emotional eaters toward physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and healing.
Maintaining a 150-pound weight loss for more than a decade by healing her relationship with food (through emotional healing, somatic experiencing, mindset shifts, and more), Lisa discovered that her lifelong struggles with "morbid obesity" and “disordered eating” were symptoms of unprocessed trauma and emotional stress. This realization fueled her passion for helping others navigate similar challenges with a heart-centered, trauma-informed approach. Her strengths-based philosophy is rooted in the belief that using food to cope is a valid method of managing stress, and it is possible to heal from the inside out.
Driven to make her work accessible to all, Lisa hosts the Out of the Cave podcast, where she shares powerful client stories and expert insights to inspire global transformation.
In this episode, we cover:
- why you might be using food as a coping skill
- why your relationship to food might be influenced by trauma
- how to begin coming back into your body
- how to create a life you don't need to escape.. and more!

When your digestion feels unpredictable, it’s tempting to tighten control.
Eat cleaner. Eat less. Cut “trigger foods.”
But most women don’t realize that restriction keeps your gut stuck in survival mode.
👉 This client stopped micromanaging her food, started eating enough, and her reflux vanished.
👉 She reintroduced full-fat dairy and coffee (yes, coffee!) with zero issues.
👉 She’s eating more and pooping more because her body finally feels safe.
That’s what happens when you support your body instead of fighting it.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start healing, send me a DM to set up your free discovery call today. ❤️
