Motivational Mom of the Month - Emma Bauserman

December is here and the festive season is in full swing! This month, we're excited to feature our newest client turned instructor - Emma Bauserman - as our Motivational Mom of the Month!

How did you find FIT4MOM Richmond and how long have you been a part of our village?

One of my good friends, who also has a son around the same age as my son had been going to the classes for a while, she invited me to come to a class with her, and I'm so glad that I did!

What do you love most about being part of this community?

The friendships I've made, and all the support I've received.

Who are you a mom to?

Elijah Grey Bauserman!

What is your favorite thing about being a mom?

The love and joy my son brings to life!

What two items would you take with you if you were shipwrecked on a deserted island where all your food and water needs were taken care of?

My guitar and a notebook.

If you had a time machine, would you travel to the future or back to the past?

Future!

How do you practice self-care?

A hot bath or shower always helps. And some time to myself.

Where did you grow up and how did you end up in Richmond?

I grew up in Charlottesville, VA. I moved to Richmond when I transferred from Berklee College of Music to VCU.

How did becoming a mother change you?

It has given me confidence and belief in myself that I didn't know was possible, and I didn't know how much I needed!

Are you a stay at home mom or do you work outside of the home?

Stay at home (although, hold up Emma...you also are about to be a part-time working mom...as an instructor with us! ~ Nat)

What is the last great book or television series you've read/watched?

Book: The Book of Alchemy by Sulieka Jaouad

How did you meet your partner?

I worked at a coffee shop in downtown Richmond, when he came in to do work there one day my manager and his older brother set us up for our first date.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

A musician and artist.

If you could choose one song to play every time you walked into a room for the rest of your life, what song would you choose and why?

'Feelin' Good by Nina Simone. It is one of my favorite songs and always puts me in a good mood.

If your five-year-old self suddenly found themselves inhabiting your current body, what would they do first?

Probably be pretty impressed with how tall I've gotten as an adult, and be excited to have no issues reaching anything on a high shelf. (I'm 6ft)

If we wanted to say hi, which classes can we find you attending?

Stroller Strides!
