Meet Karolina Dugan

Hi, my name is Karolina, and I’m a proud new mom of one year old baby Haley. Being from Poland, I’m pleased to say that Austin has become my new home now after meeting my husband while on an internship in 2012. I have just had to learn to get used to tacos instead of pierogies!

A bit about my husband Sean, he is a super tall software engineer mountain biker. He is 6’8’’ and is amazing with our daughter. Living in South Austin, our family dates are spent outdoors and at local restaurants in the area. We have enjoyed our journey of raising our baby girl in a multicultural home.

My passion is fitness and nutrition. In addition to my full time job as a mom, I am a fitness instructor and nutritionist and have been helping others get in the best shape of their lives. Until this year, this was my hobby, but no

w I have decided to turn this into my career. I feel so blessed to have something I’m so passionate about as my job, and I will continue to support women in becoming healthy and confident through my program “A Quarter to Fitness.”

I joined a moms (superwomen!) club in February last year and so far the least thing I like about being a mom, is cutting baby’s finger nails, and the best thing is being as goofy as a kid again. I love that at the age of almost 31 I can act like Donald Duck without looking stupid, look forward with childish excitement to watching “Frozen” again and again (I love this movie!), cut in front of lines with a crying baby or buy baby snacks (for myself). So I can really say I’m enjoying having a mini me in my life.

Anyway, I am very excited to be joining the Austin Mom’s Blog sharing and receiving experience and ideas from all the other Austin mamas. I can’t wait to meet everyone, cheers to embracing motherhood together!
