How Pregnancy Changed My Relationship With Exercise - 4 Lessons That Have Made Me Stronger


Listen Later

When I first found out I was pregnant, one of my biggest questions was: Can I still exercise safely?

In this solo episode, I'm sharing exactly how I've adapted my training throughout pregnancy, the mindset shifts that have surprised me most, and why movement has become more empowering than ever.

We chat about:

  • How I've safely modified my workouts during pregnancy
  • Why eating more and gaining weight is essential for your baby's health during this era 
  • The importance of strength training (especially your posterior chain)
  • Why some movement is always better than none
  • The biggest mindset shifts that have helped me embrace this season

I also open up about navigating body image during pregnancy after experiencing an eating disorder, and how this chapter has helped me build a healthier relationship with food, movement and my body than ever before.

Whether you're pregnant, planning to conceive or simply looking to build a stronger relationship with exercise, I hope this episode reminds you that movement isn't about shrinking yourself. It's about supporting your body through every season of life.
