Motivating Mom of the Month-September 2023: Hanen Ghodbane

"Hanen, you have been such a powerhouse example for all of us. Not just with workouts, but in general, being a wife, mother, friend. Moving across the world into a country that you have never lived in, can be quite daunting. I admire how you embrace all of the newness in your life. You tackle challenges And show the world how to survive and thrive.

Thank you so much for being a part of our motherhood community." -Shannon Slayer, FIt4Mom Franchise Owner

"I love having Hanen in my virtual total body class! She really pushes herself and makes the most of her 30 mins of me time." -Annie Sevel, Fit4Mom Instructor

I like walking in nature, traveling and baking

You are given 4 hours of FREE babysitting. What would you do?

What has being a mom taught you?

Being a mom taught me lots of things like patience, giving unlimited and unconditional love, being responsible, strength especially when you are in a different country rather than your home country with noone around to help...

What is your funniest or most embarrassing mommy moment so far?

Once i forgot to pick my daughter up from school and i got a phone call from the school asking me to come and pick her up ( embarrassing ahhhh)

Take good care of yourselves then you can take care of your beloved family. Try to enjoy every moment with your kids because they grow up so fast

What is your favorite thing about FIT4MOM? What would you tell someone thinking about joining?

I like Fit4Mom because I found moms like me here, even if i am coming from a totally different culture, language and world. I felt that i belong to this tribe of moms. We all share something in common in our motherhood journey!!!

I absolutely encourage other moms to join because they will find what they are looking for here( motivation, energy, strength, support, care....)
