What if the biggest threat to your relationship isn’t conflict—but silence?
In this Valentine’s Day–themed episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, we’re joined by Colette Jane Fehr, licensed psychotherapist, nationally recognized relationship expert, and author of the newly released book The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations That Create Secure, Lasting Love.
Colette explains why so many women—especially working moms—stay quiet in their relationships, even when something feels off. From unmet needs and emotional labor to fear of conflict and people-pleasing, silence often feels safer than speaking up. But over time, that quiet can slowly erode intimacy, connection, and trust.
This conversation explores how avoiding hard conversations impacts love, why honesty doesn’t have to mean conflict, and how women can begin reclaiming their voice in relationships—without blowing things up.
If you’ve ever thought, “It’s easier not to say anything,” this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode

What “quiet” really looks like in modern relationships (it's probably not what you're thinking)

Why women and moms are especially likely to silence their needs

The difference between constructive honesty and harmful conflict

How to have hard conversations that build emotional safety

Where to start if you’ve been quiet for a long time

What secure, lasting love actually requires

Who This Episode Is For
✔️ Working moms navigating partnership and emotional labor ✔️ Women feeling disconnected or unheard in their relationships ✔️ Moms who avoid conflict to keep the peace ✔️ Anyone wanting deeper, more secure love

What happens when doing everything right still leaves you exhausted?
In this episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, we sit down with Christine Fitzgerald, a former competitive gymnast turned nutrition and hormone healing expert, whose own health crisis at just 20 years old changed the course of her life. Thrown into clinical menopause while training at an elite level, Christine experienced extreme fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and weight changes that no amount of exercise or clean eating could fix.
Her search for answers led her to earn a master’s degree in nutrition, publish two books on wellness and mindset, and spend over 25 years helping women heal hormones, restore energy, and feel at home in their bodies again.
Christine’s work blends science and soul—combining data-driven nutrition and hormone testing with nervous system regulation, breathwork, and mindset practices. She calls this integrative approach Remembrance Work, helping women’s bodies remember what safety, balance, and vitality feel like.
This episode is especially powerful for working moms who feel tired, foggy, inflamed, or stuck despite “doing all the right things.”

Christine’s journey from Olympic-level gymnastics to early clinical menopause

Why so many women feel exhausted even when they eat clean and exercise

The hidden role of hormones, stress, and nervous system overload

Do you suffer from Comparisonitis?
In this powerful episode of the Mama Work It podcast, we dive into one of the sneakiest sources of stress and self-doubt for moms: comparison. From social media highlight reels to milestone pressure, it’s easy to feel like you’re “behind” or “not enough.”
But Mama — your journey is allowed to look different.
In today’s conversation, we unpack:

Why comparison is such a natural part of motherhood

How social media amplifies insecurity (and how to take back control)

What it means to honor the season you’re in

Mindset and practical tools to shift out of comparison mode

How your relationship with comparison impacts your kids

A grounding, guided reframe to help you reconnect to your own path

This episode is your reminder that growth has no timeline — and you can release the pressure to compete with anyone else’s life but your own.
Key Takeaways:

Comparison isn’t a character flaw — it’s a habit you can break.

Curate your inputs: protect your mental health on social media.

Honor your season — you are not meant to grow at the same pace as everyone else.

Use tools like: 
“That’s for her, this is for me.” 

Shifting from comparison to curiosity. 

Celebrating small victories daily.

Your kids learn confidence from watching you break comparison cycles.
