How I Prioritize My Health as a Busy Executive Mum - with a Little Help from Befit Food

by Be Fit Food Operations on Jul 01, 2025

As a busy working mum in an executive role, focusing on my health hasn’t always come naturally. In fact, some days it feels like just getting through the day is an achievement. But each morning, I try to make one small but powerful decision - to show up for myself.

 

Not for the version of me that’s juggling meetings, school drop-offs, and weeknight dinners, but for my 70-year-old self. She’s the one I picture on the hard days. And I know she’ll thank me one day for every gym session I made it to, every nutritious meal I chose, and every time I kept going when I didn’t feel like it.

 

The truth is, my health journey hasn’t been smooth. It’s been full of aches, setbacks, and that persistent “I can’t be bothered” voice in my head. I’ve broken my wrist, struggled with Adenomyosis and have been diagnosed with a condition in my back. But each day I move my body, fuel it well, and surround myself with people who lift me up - things get a little easier, a little brighter.

 

One of the constants through all the ups and downs has been Befit Food. It’s the reset button I reach for when life gets chaotic, and the convenient, nutritious support I rely on when I don’t have time to meal prep (which, let’s be honest, is often). Whether it’s stashed in the freezer for a busy week or used to kickstart a metabolism reset, Befit Food has helped me stay on track more times than I can count over the past 8 years.

 

If I reflect on the past few years, my health and my career journeys have been deeply intertwined. I’ve poured myself into both. I’ve kept showing up, even when it was hard. And I’m really proud of that.

 

Last year, I felt stronger than ever - walking 50km for Coastrek, training at the gym consistently 3 times a week, doing a 3-day water fast, and leaning on Befit Food to reset and refuel. I was in a groove. But then, perimenopause hit - and it hit hard.

 

It wasn’t gradual for me. It felt like I was suddenly dropped into the trenches. Crushing fatigue, a 5kg weight gain, zero motivation, and no libido. It was confusing, scary, and overwhelming.

 

But I’m not someone who gives up easily. I leaned on my support network. I listened to every podcast, read every article, and saw every health professional I could. I wanted answers. I wanted to feel like myself again.

 

Now, eight weeks into HRT and focusing on getting protein into every meal, I’m starting to feel the shift. Befit Food has played such an important role in that - helping me meet my nutrition goals without overthinking it. Their meals make it easy to eat well, even when I’m cooking something different for the rest of the family.

 

I’ve learned that this journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency. It’s about backing yourself when it counts. And it’s about finding the tools and people that support your goals.

 

For me, Befit Food isn’t just a meal - it’s a lifeline when I need it most.

 

I’ll keep showing up. I’ll keep doing the work. Because my health isn’t just for me - it’s for my family, too. Our kids are watching. And if I can model resilience, self-care, and strength, then I know I’m doing something right.
