Blaise Spotlight Series: What Happens When Moms Stop Choosing Between Fitness and Their Kids with Nicole Garcia of Motherhood Moves

In this Blaise Spotlight Series episode, host Ashleigh Malangone welcomes Nicole Garcia, founder of Motherhood Moves, a Long Island-based fitness platform that's disrupting the traditional gym model for mothers. Nicole is a mom of three (ages 19, 4, and 2) who created Motherhood Moves to solve a problem she experienced firsthand: the struggle to maintain fitness while managing childcare.

Now in its third year, Motherhood Moves offers outdoor fitness classes where moms can bring their kids, eliminating the childcare barrier that prevents many mothers from prioritizing their health.

Nicole shares the origin story of her business, explaining how what started as informal park workouts with friends has evolved into a comprehensive wellness platform that goes far beyond traditional fitness. Motherhood Moves integrates movement, mindset, and community, partnering with a registered dietician and licensed mental health counselor to support the whole person through all phases of motherhood.

The conversation explores how Motherhood Moves creates genuine friendships among members, with moms connecting across different stages of motherhood. Nicole emphasizes the importance of local partnerships and staying aligned with brand values.

Ashleigh and Nicole dive deep into the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, discussing the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and not feeling guilty about prioritizing self-care. They explore how Motherhood Moves serves moms at every stage, from newly postpartum to those with older children who never found their fitness routine again.

The episode concludes with a discussion about the Blaise platform and how Motherhood Moves plans to leverage local influencers and community ambassadors for growth, highlighting the power of authentic recommendations from real people in local communities.
