“How do I safely start exercising after having a baby?”

In this episode, I’m breaking down what getting back into movement really looks like, starting from day one in the hospital all the way through those higher-intensity workouts down the road.

I’ll walk you through:
 ✨ Why managing expectations is key (and why “bounce back” culture is toxic)
 ✨ The exact foundations to start with, like 360 breathing, pelvic floor connection, and gentle walking
 ✨ How and when to safely add in strength training
 ✨ My personal postpartum recovery story (including setbacks like C-section recovery and mastitis)
 ✨ A simple checklist I use with clients before they add running, HIIT, or jumping back in
 ✨ Why mental and emotional health must be part of your postpartum fitness plan

This is your gentle reminder that every body heals on its own timeline—and your journey is valid, no matter how long it takes.

So grab your coffee (or reheat it for the 3rd time—I see you 😉) and let’s get into how to feel strong, confident, and connected in your postpartum body.
