Parenting, Training, Work — Why Balance Isn’t Real

How do I balance triathlon training, a corporate job, and parenting?

Here’s the truth: balance isn’t the goal — and most days, it isn’t possible.
What is possible is finding what actually helps in a full, busy season of life.

In this video, I’m sharing 5 real, practical things that help me stay consistent with training while working full-time and parenting. No hustle culture. No perfect routines. Just systems, support, and mindset shifts that make this season work well enough.

I’ve been in triathlon for 15 years and raced Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events before and after becoming a parent. Everything shared here comes from lived experience — training through packed calendars, childcare logistics, full-time work, and very real fatigue.

In this video:
• How my partner and I plan training and family life together
• Why having a reliable support system matters (and what that can actually look like)
• Simple meal strategies that save time and energy
• Why outsourcing certain tasks can be a game-changer
• How letting go of perfection helps with long-term consistency

If you’re a working parent, a time-crunched athlete, or someone chasing big goals alongside family life, I hope this gives you ideas you can actually use.
