Erin Andrews, a renowned sports broadcaster and television personality has embarked on an inspiring journey of fertility and motherhood. In a world that often places enormous pressure on women to balance career and family, Erin’s story stands as a beacon of hope and resilience. During an interview with Mom.com, the new mom delved into her fertility journey and her self-care routine, demonstrating her strength and dedication to embracing the roles of motherhood and career.
Erin shared that since welcoming their baby boy into the world, the past months have been challenging to balance her busy schedule and motherhood.
“I’m gone more than I’m home,” she said, adding that she’s also dealt with her fair share of mom guilt and trying to keep it all together.
But one thing that has kept the busy mom grounded has been her self-care. As a staple during her nine-year fertility journey, Andrews shared her favorite Thorne products that still keep her ready to tackle work and raising a newborn.
“To stay healthy on the road, to stay healthy for my baby, I still take my prenatals that I did three times a day. I still take my omegas, I still take my probiotics now because I’m on the road,” she said. “I take sleep powders, which are amazing.”
She added that she also takes collagen every morning with her coffee and occasionally Thorne’s pre-workout elite just to “get me going when I’m so tired and I don’t want to get my workout in.”
Erin says she’s big on taking supplements because she can’t afford to get sick at work and bring home germs to her baby boy.
“This is cold and flu season. And health right now is my self-care because that’s only way I can stay active in my life on the road and at home,” the new mom said.
But like most moms, she understands that prioritizing her self-care is good overall for your health. For new moms, Erin encourages women to “take care of yourself,” even if it’s only for five minutes.
“Chill out, close your eyes for a second, go take a walk,” she said, adding that you can also “clear your head, play calming music, just anything where you can walk away from the situation where I feel like a failure 24/7 with my baby, and be like, ‘You’re not a failure.’”
