Jasper turned 1!

In this episode, I'm giving a personal update on how I've been doing throughout this first year of motherhood. Get ready to get real & raw as I check in with myself regarding my nutrition, stress, sleep, and movement - just like I do with my clients each week.

This is the final postpartum update I'll be doing - but I still want to do more postpartum health content if you're interested! Send a message on IG or an email over with any episode ideas you'd like to hear.

Hiiiiiii all!

If you're reading this, that means I'm now in Charleston, South Carolina! Wow! How exciting.

Since I wasn't able to get ahead enough in podcasting, this is a short & sweet episode announcing that the podcast is officially on pause until August.

Use this time to have some fun in the sun OR feel free to go back through the archives and find an episode you might've missed over the last few years.

If you've ever belonged to Planet Fitness, chances are you've run into a Smith machine. But is it a valid replacement for barbell work - especially squats?

In short, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Listen to this episode to find out why I'm not a fan of Smith machines, and get a few suggestions for what to work on instead.

Despite what influencers might be spouting on social media, bloating - like PAINFUL bloating - is NOT normal.

Of course we all grow a little bit when we eat food or drink liquids (cause it has to go somewhere!), but if you're suffering from painful bloating, uncomfortable gas, constipation, or diarrhea, that is most certainly not normal.

And if you listened to this episode and thought "yup, that sounds like me," head to bit.ly/rockthebloat to get started on my Rock the Bloat Minicourse!

This is your permission to stop chasing your old body and start building a new, stronger relationship with the one you’re in now.

Your body deserves support, not shame.

In this empowering and honest conversation, I'm diving into:

- Why “getting your body back” is the wrong goal

- What’s really happening with your hormones, metabolism, and body composition postpartum

- Why the scale isn’t telling the full story

- How to reconnect with your new body with compassion, not punishment

- The nutrition, movement, and mindset shifts that actually support healing

... and more!

In today's episode, I'm breaking down a few listener questions. First, are you supposed to be able to farmer's carry 75% of your bodyweight? What about squat or deadlift it? And second, what's the deal with rucking?

If you have any questions you'd like me to answer on the show, send an email to paige [at] imperfectlypaigewellness [dot] com!

Have you ever started a fitness challenge—like Whole30 or 75 Hard—feeling super motivated, only to find yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, and maybe even feeling like a failure by week two?

Today, I'm breaking down the truth about fitness and diet challenges: why they’re so appealing, how they can backfire, and what actually works if you want sustainable results that don’t require flipping your life upside down.

You'll learn:

- why Whole30, 75 Hard, corporate fitness challenges, and Pinterest challenges are so appealing

- why they ALL often backfire

- what ACTUALLY works for sustainable fitness and wellness

... and more!
