Every Mom Is An Athlete

In this episode, I’m breaking down the basics of peptides, what they are, how they work, and why they’re suddenly everywhere in the health and wellness world. I explain the science in simple terms and share my personal experience using peptides postpartum, what I’ve noticed with sleep, energy, and appetite, and the questions I hear most often from moms about safety, breastfeeding, and effectiveness.

This episode is an honest look at the science, the hype, and where peptides might fit in if you’re already focusing on the real foundations of health like strength training, nutrition, sleep, and recovery.

In this episode, I’m sharing my one-year postpartum check-in after baby number three. I talk about how recovery has felt, what shifted for me around nine months, and how weaning at ten months impacted my hormones and energy.

I also share how my workouts have evolved, what I’m doing in the gym now, and why consistency matters more than perfect conditions in this season. If you’re in your own postpartum journey, this is your reminder that every recovery looks different and your body is always capable of rebuilding.

In this episode, I’m joined by physical therapist, lifelong athlete, and mom of five, Dr. Stephanie Ridgway, to answer one of the most common questions we hear from active moms: when is it actually safe to start running postpartum? We talk about why being “cleared at six weeks” is not the same as being ready to run, and what your body truly needs before returning to high-impact exercise.

Dr. Ridgway walks us through specific strength and functional tests you should be able to pass first, how to assess your pelvic floor and core, and the red flags that mean you need more support. If you are eager to get back to running but want to do it in a way that protects your long-term health, this episode will give you clear, practical guidance to help you build back the right way.

In this episode, I’m continuing my Pregnancy Pains series by breaking down symphysis pubis pain, also known as SPD. If you’re dealing with this, you are not alone, and you do not have to just live with it. I walk you through what’s actually happening in the body during pregnancy, why SPD is common but not normal, and what can truly help.

We talk about movement modifications, core support, alignment, bracing, and when it’s time to get extra help. My goal is to help you feel more confident, supported, and comfortable so you can enjoy your pregnancy instead of powering through pain.

In this episode, I’m kicking off a new pregnancy pains series by talking all about sciatica. This is one of the most common complaints I see during pregnancy, and while it’s common, it is not something you just have to accept. I explain what sciatica actually is in pregnancy, why it often feels like deep hip or leg pain, and how pelvic alignment, core support, and hormonal changes all play a role.

I also walk you through practical steps you can take to feel better, including when stretching helps and when it does not, how nerve flossing and foam rolling can make a difference, and why supporting your core and pelvis is so important. If you are dealing with sciatic pain and wondering what is normal, what to try at home, and when to seek extra support, this episode will give you clarity and actionable guidance so you can enjoy your pregnancy with less pain.

In this episode, I’m joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Saru Bala for a refreshing, no-nonsense conversation about women’s hormone health. We break down what your hormones are actually doing throughout your cycle, why so many women feel exhausted, moody, or “off,” and how stress, blood sugar, sleep, and daily habits play a much bigger role than we’re often told.

Dr. Bala shares practical, evidence-based ways to support your hormones without quick fixes or fear-based messaging, from rethinking birth control conversations to simple shifts that can help your body feel more regulated and resilient. If you’ve ever felt confused by all the hormone noise online, this episode is here to bring clarity and empowerment.
