Every Mom Is An Athlete

In this episode, we’re talking all about posture and why it matters so much for moms at every stage. I break down why neck, back, and shoulder pain are so common during pregnancy and motherhood, what “good posture” actually means, and why it is not about sitting perfectly straight all day. We cover how posture is dynamic, how often you should be changing positions, and simple ways to support your spine throughout the day.

You’ll also learn easy posture resets, breathing strategies, mobility work, and strength exercises that can make a real difference without adding more stress to your routine. If you spend a lot of time holding kids, feeding babies, working at a desk, or feeling stiff and achy, this episode will help you feel more aligned, comfortable, and supported in your body.

Stop leaking and start feeling strong again. My 6-Week Pelvic Floor Strength Plan helps you properly contract AND relax your pelvic floor, connect it to your core, and progressively build strength so you can run, jump, lift, sneeze, and play with your kids without worrying about leaking.

Pelvic Floor Plan

In this episode, I’m joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Mae for an honest and educational conversation about common postpartum concerns like kegels, diastasis recti, core weakness, and pelvic floor symptoms that so many moms experience but rarely get clear answers about. We break down what actually matters when it comes to healing your core and pelvic floor, and why more exercises or more kegels are not always the solution.

This conversation will help you better understand your body, recognize what is normal versus what needs support, and feel more confident navigating postpartum recovery at any stage. Whether you are pregnant or newly postpartum, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical takeaways you can apply right away.

In this episode, I'm sharing a handful of small, simple changes that can make a big difference in your overall health, especially during the busy holiday season. We're talking small, realistic habits like delaying coffee just a bit in the morning, adding more hydration and electrolytes, supporting better sleep, and finding easy ways to get more fruits and vegetables into your daily routine. These are the things I've personally been doing the past few months, and they truly help me feel better, calmer, and more energized.

If you want to feel healthier without committing to a huge morning routine or a full lifestyle overhaul, this episode will give you practical ideas you can start today. One small habit often leads to another, and those tiny shifts add up in such powerful ways for moms.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and patient Erika S., a lifelong athlete, doula, and mom, to talk about what it really looks like to return to movement after having a baby. Erika shares how her relationship with fitness shifted through pregnancy, what those first postpartum weeks felt like, and why rebuilding slowly (and intentionally) made all the difference.

We also dig into comparison, setting realistic expectations, finding joy in movement again, and giving yourself permission to start small, whether that’s walking a 10k with a friend or carving out ten minutes to reconnect with your body. If you need a reminder that strength comes back in layers, and that your postpartum journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Hannah, a mom of two, CrossFitter, and content creator who's passionate about helping women love their bodies for what they can do, not just how they look.

We dive into her journey from a full-time professional to stay-at-home mom, how fitness keeps her grounded, the necessity of postpartum recovery, some misconceptions around postpartum fitness, and the realities of balancing strength training with motherhood (including the mom guilt, lack of sleep, and all the messy, beautiful parts in between).

Hannah shares so many relatable truths about postpartum strength, self-compassion, and finding your identity after a baby. Make sure to stick around until the end of the episode, when she opens up about comparison and why she started creating content.
