Welcome to Episode 12 - Part 2 of the Prime Parent Podcast

This is Part 2 of our conversation with former NFL linebacker Blake Costanzo.

If Part 1 was about earning a spot and surviving at the highest level, this episode is about what comes next and how Blake redefined success after football.

We talk about fatherhood, being fully present, and the intentional decisions he made to live below his means, protect his time, and focus on what truly matters.

Blake doesn’t just talk about balance. He lives it. He’s someone who personally helped me step off the hamster wheel, realign with what matters most, and reclaim my time, health, and purpose.

In a world that constantly pulls us in every direction, this conversation is a powerful reminder that the future isn’t promised and the present is all we really have.

Let’s get into Part 2.

Welcome to Episode 12 - Part 1 of the Prime Parent Podcast , where we explore what it means to show up as the best version of ourselves in the most important roles we have: as parents, partners, and people.

Today’s guest is someone who embodies everything this podcast is about. Blake Costanzo is a former NFL linebacker who beat the odds, rising from undrafted free agent out of Lafayette College to playing for the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, and San Francisco 49ers.

But what makes Blake truly remarkable isn't just what he did on the field—it's who he is off the field.

Blake is a man who redefined what success looks like, both during and after his career. He's a devoted father, a grounded human being, and someone who truly lives present. He doesn’t just talk about work-life balance, he lives it. He’s taught me, personally, how to step off the hamster wheel, realign with what matters, and reclaim my time, my health, and my purpose.

In a world where we’re constantly pulled in a thousand directions, Blake’s ability to tune out distractions and live with intention is something we all need to hear.

So let’s dive in! This is going to be a good one.

Welcome back to part two of our conversation with Rhonda. In Part 2, we opened the door to what so many women are silently battling every day. Hormonal shifts that disrupt progress, drain energy, and leave you wondering, ‘What is going on with my body?’

Today, we’re taking it even deeper.

In this continuation, Rhonda breaks down the next layer: how to identify what’s actually driving your symptoms, what tests and markers matter, and the specific strategies women can use to restore balance, rebuild momentum, and finally feel in control again.

If Part 1 gave you clarity… Part 2 is where you start taking action.

Let’s jump back in.

Women… ever feel like you’re fighting a never-ending battle? Like no matter what you do, something keeps blocking your progress? You’re not imagining it. Hormonal shifts are real, they’re powerful, and they can make even the strongest women feel stuck, discouraged, or out of sync.

But today we’re breaking that cycle.

In this episode, we’re joined by Rhonda Hunt, who’s bringing clarity, truth, and solutions. She’s going to walk you through what to look for, the signs your hormones might be working against you, and the exact steps you can take to regain control, reset your body, and get back to feeling your best.

If you’ve been frustrated, overwhelmed, or wondering why your efforts aren’t paying off… this episode is your turning point.

Don’t miss it. Let’s get into it.

Welcome to The Prime Parent Podcast — Episode 10: Social Pressure: Why “Just One” Feels So Hard to Say No To.

Let’s be honest, most parents are juggling enough already. Between birthdays, family gatherings, work events, and the everyday chaos of parenting, the pressure to “just have one” shows up everywhere.
A drink, a dessert, an extra serving… and suddenly you’re in a moment you didn’t plan for.

But here’s the truth: saying no isn’t hard because you’re weak, it’s hard because social pressure is real, and it hits deeper than we realize.
In this episode, we’re breaking down why people pressure you, how it impacts your mindset, and most importantly how to stay aligned with your goals without isolating yourself or feeling guilty.

You’ll learn why others push, how those little comments shape your decisions, and the practical tools you need to set boundaries, stay confident, and keep your momentum strong… even when everyone around you is saying “come on, just one.”

If you’ve ever felt torn between your goals and the fear of disappointing, this episode will help you navigate those moments with clarity, confidence, and intention.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why distractions throw us off, how the all-or-nothing mindset derails progress, and why guilt hits whether you indulge or hold back. We’ll break down how to keep momentum, enjoy life without losing progress, and practice moderation without beating yourself up.

You’ll walk away with simple strategies to stay consistent and get back on track fast — because one off day or one event doesn’t undo everything you’ve worked for.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or like you can’t catch a break, this episode is your reminder: progress isn’t perfection. It’s showing up, even when life gets messy.

Welcome to The Prime Parent Podcast, Episode 8: You Don’t Need More Time, You Need More Intention.

Let’s be real. Most parents don’t have hours to train. Between work, family, and everything in between, time always feels tight.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need more time to see results. You just need to use the time you have with purpose.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to train with intention, whether you’re at home with a pair of dumbbells or squeezing in 30 minutes before the kids wake up.

You’ll learn how to structure simple, effective workouts, push with the right amount of effort, and make every rep count so you can keep building strength without sacrificing your schedule.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s just not enough time to train, this episode will show you how to turn small windows into real progress.

Welcome to The Prime Parent Podcast, Episode 7: The Power of Goals – Showing Up Daily Changes Everything

Be honest. When was the last time you set a goal just for you?

Not for work. Not for your kids. Not because you “had to.” But because you wanted to grow, challenge yourself, and prove you could follow through.

Most of us are just trying to make it through the day, balancing work, family, and everything in between. It’s easy to lose that sense of personal progress… that feeling of “I’m building something for myself.”

But here’s the truth. Setting goals isn’t about perfection or pressure. It’s about direction. It’s about showing up, one day at a time, and becoming the person who follows through even when it’s hard.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why goal setting is essential not just for achievement, but for personal growth. We’ll talk about how taking on challenges builds consistency, confidence, and momentum—and why the hardest step is simply getting started.

You’ll learn how to pivot when goals need adjusting, how to use discomfort as fuel, and how to surround yourself with a community that keeps you accountable and inspired.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or unsure where to begin, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need to be perfect… you just need to show up.
