Each month, we're celebrating a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces for her commitment to a healthy lifestyle and dedication to FIT4MOM.

This month, we're spotlighting an amazing boy mom who has been part of our village for nearly 2 years! Meet our Mom of the Month for July: Lauryn Fielder

Tell us about who is in your family!

My husband Josiah, my 22 month old Elijah and my 2 month old, Shiloh.

Where is your hometown?

Las Cruces

How did you find FIT4MOM?

I searched “mom groups” on the internet.

What is/was your career?

I was a teacher and now I stay home but also manage social media for a few companies in town and have a YouTube channel of my own.

How long have you been a member of FIT4MOM Las Cruces, and what has it done for you?

I have been a member for nearly 2 years, and I wholeheartedly attribute it to not feeling lonely in motherhood. I have tons of likeminded friends now and my son has even made friends. We do so much together!

What is your favorite class?

I love Strides 360 because it challenges me mentally and physically.

What is something that has surprised you about motherhood?

I knew it would be demanding of me but I didn’t realize HOW MUCH. It’s demanding physically, mentally and emotionally. I was also surprised at how much I would love tending to my kids and making their lives feel special.

What are three of your favorite things?

I love traveling, cooking and working out.

What is your proudest mommy moment so far?

We leave the house every day, whether it’s to a park, going for a walk or a splash pad. This has impacted my kids and I so positively and every day feels like an adventure.

What advice would you give to a new mother?

Don’t isolate yourself. Motherhood is hard, but when you realize other women are also in the hard— you can do life together and embrace the highs and lows instead of sitting in them alone.

We are so lucky to have Lauryn in our village. It wouldn't be the same without her and her boys!
