In this episode, I walk through my first three weeks postpartum and what those early days of recovery actually looked like for me. I talk about how I approached core engagement, pelvic floor activation, and the slow, intentional progression back into movement and daily activities. I also share why I’ve had to completely redefine what a “postpartum workout” even means and how I’m thinking about recovery differently this time around.

I get into the importance of listening to my body’s signals, the factors that have shaped my recovery so far, and how nutrition and basic self‑care have played a role. More than anything, I highlight how much rest and recovery matter in this season, and how external factors can influence the pace and feel of postpartum healing.
