The Metabolism and Menopause Podcast

Preconception, Pregnancy & Postpartum: It's Not All Baby Bumps & Bliss | MMP Ep. 194


Listen Later

You’ve seen the highlight reels—bump pics, nursery tours, cute little booties. But what about the stuff no one posts? Like the hormonal chaos, postpartum identity crisis, or the mental load of trying to do it all?


In this raw and heartwarming episode, I sit down with my two incredible friends, Becca and Liz from Fit Mom, to talk about the real journey through preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum—as moms, as women, and as entrepreneurs.


We’re pulling back the curtain on:

- The silent struggles of postpartum no one warns you about

- What we wish we knew before getting pregnant

- Navigating hormonal shifts and mental health after baby

- Balancing business and motherhood without losing yourself

- Learning how to rest, heal, and not rush the “bounce back”


Whether you're thinking about trying for a baby, currently pregnant, knee-deep in postpartum, or just trying to find your footing again—this one’s for you.


Grab your matcha (or your cold coffee you reheated twice), and come hang with us for some laughs, tears, and the kind of truth-telling every woman deserves to hear.
