This week we have guest, Vitalia Albertson, on the podcast. Vitalia has used her first birth experience in order to educate and empower herself and take charge of her second birth and postpartum journey. We talk about the holistic side of health and healing ; how can we prepare our bodies for pregnancy? How can we support our bodies, naturally, in pregnancy and postpartum to alleviate some of the common discomforts that come along with those journeys?

This was such a great conversation for me, personally, as I head into the third trimest. I am anxious (as you can imagine!) and am wanting to soak in all the knowledge to prepare myself and empower myself in this next journey ahead. Even if you are not pregnant, this is a great resource for setting your body up for a more comfortable pregnancy and long term in your postpartum.

I highly recommend giving her a follow! She is such a bright light in sharing all things post partum, birth preparation and pregnancy. She also shares the realities of postpartum and the importance of advocating for yourself and doing what is best for you and your family!

If you enjoyed today’s episode, PLEASE screenshot & share it on your stories. Tag Vitalia and myself @presthelimit_fitness . This podcast is all about building a community and supporting one another in our journeys so let’s get to know each other!

This week I sit down (virtually through Zoom!) with Holistic Health Coach, Kayla Brandon. Kayla is such a bright light in the world of Instagram and I enjoyed our conversation SO much!

We chat about her pregnancy journey thus far; her fitness routine, how her mindset has shifted, and giving up control on this journey where we don't have much say in what our bodies are doing.

It was such a refreshing conversation! For moms to be, current moms, or those planning for pregnancy in their future- this is a MUST listen. We share the parts of pregnancy that aren't necessary publicly talked about and Kayla shares how her mindset has supported her through those challenges.

This week I have Dietitian, Kayla Michaud, on as a guest. Kayla is a mama to an adorable 2 month old boy, online Dietitian and fitness inspiration!

We chat about new mom life, being flexible with a newborn's routine (or lack thereof!) and still prioritizing yourself and your health during those chaotic times. Kayla chats about how she navigates this time & the reminders she gives herself to slow down and soak it all in (advice I think lots of us could benefit from!)

She also runs a private FB group with weekly workouts and more! You can find that on FB under Health Wins.

New Year New Me? No Thanks!!

This week we have my husband, Keith, on the podcast to talk all about New Years intentions vs. New Years goals. We know that 2020 was a struggle, to say the least. But to think that that struggle is going to magically end just because we entered a new year would be naive.

We are approaching this year with intentions, rather than goals or resolutions. We are setting ourselves up for habits that we can sustain year long & growth that we can continue to make over these next 12 months.

Come chat with us to hear about WHAT our intentions are, WHY we are setting them and HOW we are setting them and sticking to them. Don't forget to reach out to us with your intentions or if you need help coming up with them! It's all about the accountability.

This week on the podcast we have Health Coach, Kim Della Porta, joining us! Kim and I met through the many connections of the health and wellness industry. And it just so happens that we live in the same town! Kim is a Mom of two adorable little boys, runs her own business as an online Health Coach and is the queen of balance (if you ask me)!

On this week’s episode we dive into Kim’s journey with her own health as well as her journey into her role as a Health Coach. She gives some really simple and effective tips on navigating showing up as Mom while still also remembering your own self care.

Selfishly, I was loving this conversation as I prepare for my new journey into motherhood. She gave some solid advice that I know I will for sure be taking!

Although pregnancy is such an exciting time for us mamas to be, we (myself included) tend to find anxiety in trying to do everything right for our baby. Are we eating the most nutrient dense foods? Is our prenatal vitamin enough? Are we allowed to eat that? We are trying to make sure we move everyday but then . . . are we allowed to do that exercise?! The vast amount of information and opinions out there are enough to put us over the edge and just confine ourselves to our safe bubble.

My number one tip, always, is to educate yourself. So this week, I'm helping you out with that. We are chatting all things exercise in pregnancy - what's safe, how much is recommended, how to find the motivation, when not to exercise and so much more!

Episode 5- Feeling Fragile

I'm catching ya'll up on life over the last couple of weeks. We are chatting all things #dogmom life, new kitchen gadgets making some BOMB recipes for us, what my workouts are looking like, and my feelings on treating pregnancy as a fragile process. And of course the ever important debate - is it too early for Christmas?

Well . . . the cat's out of the bag. WE ARE PREGNANT! Still sounds and feels so weird to say. We are adjusting, in the best way possible.

As someone that has been through countless rollercoasters with my fitness and my nutrition, pregnancy has thrown quite the curveball to me. And if I do say so myself, I am knocking this one out of the park! Or at least hitting a nice little double to score a run (husband- are you proud of my baseball talk?)

To my moms out there- you get me! Pregnancy rocks our world but in the best way. It challenges us. It makes us question our bodies. It challenges our confidence. But it is all so worth it. I have already learned so much about myself and have come to value my body for so much more than just it's physical appearance.

Today's episode I am chatting all about the first trimester and how my view of health and healthy practices have evolved and changes in these last few months.
