Ever feel like the world is pushing you to "bounce back" after pregnancy? 

In today’s episode, we’re tackling this head-on with my guest, Ocean Trail—a strength and conditioning coach who specializes in pregnancy and postpartum fitness.

We dive into Ocean’s deeply personal journey with body image before, during, and after pregnancy, and how she has navigated the pressures of society’s bounce-back culture. Plus, she shares her wisdom on embracing self-acceptance, building a strong support system, and navigating social media’s often unrealistic portrayals. 

Whether you’re a new mom or just someone navigating life’s curveballs, this episode is packed with advice to help you focus on what really matters—your health and happiness.

• (2:50) Ocean's candid story on body image transformation during pregnancy and postpartum

• (21:50) Navigating the impact of social media on postpartum body image
• (32:00) Practical, no-nonsense tips for new moms on fitness and well-being

Just remember, your journey is your own, and it's more than okay to embrace every change along the way.
