The Habit Mama

Hey there! I’m Shelby, the voice behind The Habit Mama.

A space for moms who want to feel stronger, healthier, and more balanced while juggling all the beautiful (and sometimes messy) parts of life.

I grew up in Montana but now call Houston home, where I live with my husband, our sweet daughter Lakyn, and our good ole boy, Remmey. Before motherhood, I was a collegiate track athlete and your ordinary small town girl. I’ve always had a love for movement, health, and pushing myself to try new things. But maybe most of all, I’ve always been a helper at heart — someone who feels fulfilled when I can support and encourage others.

Becoming a mom flipped my world upside down in the best way — and also made me realize just how hard it can be to hold onto your own health and habits when you’re focused on raising a little one. That’s why I created The Habit Mama: to share simple, realistic tips, honest stories, and motivational support for moms who want to care for themselves and their families, without chasing perfection or burning out.

Here, you’ll find fitness hacks, healthy lifestyle ideas, mindset shifts, and little doses of inspiration — all designed to help you build habits that fit your real life. My goal is to remind you (and myself!) that small, intentional steps lead to big, lasting change — and that you’re stronger and more capable than you know.

Thank you so much for being here! I’d love for you to follow along, share your own journey, or connect with me on social media. We’re in this together, mama.
