Mama of the Month: Jannae

Meet Jannae, our September Mom of the Month! An Atlanta native, global benefits consultant, and mom of two, Jannae is currently soaking up maternity leave with her husband, Tony, their 3-year-old son, Brave, and their 5-month-old daughter, Solána.

You can usually find Jannae at FIT4MOM North Atlanta’s Buckhead classes at Chastain Park, baby carrier in tow and ready to move, connect, and make the most of this special season of motherhood.

Finding Her Village

Jannae discovered FIT4MOM through Facebook, and it quickly became much more than a workout.

“It’s the best part of my maternity leave,” she says. “Being part of a community of women in a similar stage of life where I can bring my little one and stay accountable.”

For Jannae, that combination of movement, accountability, and community is what makes FIT4MOM so special. Motherhood can be both incredibly rewarding and wonderfully chaotic, and having a group of women who understand exactly what this season looks like can make all the difference.

Motherhood, According to Jannae

When asked what motherhood means to her, Jannae describes it beautifully:

“Guiding my children as they grow into their own people, while being inspired by their curiosity and sense of wonder.”

With a 3-year-old and a 5-month-old, Jannae is right in the middle of those busy, beautiful early years—and it sounds like she’s embracing all of it.

Her favorite reminder of what matters most comes straight from Brave. When asked what Mommy always says, his answer was simple:

“I love you.”

And when asked what makes him proud of his mom?

“That she’s my best friend.”

We’ll take that one as the ultimate Mom of the Month compliment. ❤️

Of course, Brave also has a very specific opinion about what his mom is really good at doing: "Sleeping."

Jannae assures us this is not true—which, as the mom of a 5-month-old, we can probably all understand!

A Few Things You Might Not Know About Jannae

Jannae is an extrovert who loves to dance, enjoys Caribbean food, and has a pretty unexpected claim to fame:

She has a farm in Tennessee!

Her must-have baby product? A baby carrier—perfect for keeping Solána close while staying active and on the go.

And while dancing is her favorite form of exercise, we’re pretty sure she’s also found a new favorite way to move with her FIT4MOM village.

Why We Love Having Jannae in Our Village

One of the best things about FIT4MOM is watching moms find their people during a season of life that can sometimes feel isolating.

Jannae is a perfect example of what it means to show up—not just for a workout, but for yourself and for the community around you. She’s building strength, staying accountable, bringing her baby along for the journey, and creating memories with other moms who are right there with her.

We’re so happy Jannae found us, and even happier that she’s part of our Our Village!
