Welcoming a baby into the world is a beautiful experience, but the postpartum journey often comes with its own set of challenges. Between sleepless nights, recovering from birth, and adjusting to your new role as a mom, it’s easy for self-care — especially fitness and wellness — to take a back seat. However, prioritizing your physical and mental health is not only important for you but also for your family.

In this episode, we’re diving into postpartum fitness and wellness. We’re exploring practical tips for finding balance, staying motivated, and establishing healthy habits as a new mom. Whether you’re wondering how to ease back into exercise, build a sustainable routine, or simply feel more like yourself again, this episode is packed with advice and encouragement to help you thrive during this transformative season.

In this episode, I chat with Marlie about finding strength in motherhood. We discuss postpartum, fitness after baby, fitting workouts into your busy day, and more. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation:

Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it’s not without its hurdles—especially when it comes to balancing your own needs with those of your little one. Postpartum fitness and wellness isn’t about “bouncing back”; it’s about rediscovering your strength, finding joy in movement, and creating habits that support your well-being.

I hope this episode inspires you to take small, intentional steps toward prioritizing your health and happiness. Remember, your journey is unique, and every step counts.
