Her approach to fitness is easily digestible because it includes real life challenges that many women face today. Plain and simple, She helps women cut through the BS of fad diets! Most women over train and under-eat, that’s where she comes in and helps you align those goals with a more sustainable approach. She considers herself a facilitator in others  personal journey to heal their relationship with food and themselves. Her ultimate goal is that all women learn to live smarter, healthier, and more mindfully.

Nikki: You guys, Nicole is a rockstar. We had so much fun speaking with her and she was so honest and genuine about her postpartum experience. She shared things that I’m sure you can all relate to. Both Krista and I agree that she is a true inspiration. So stay tuned! We cannot can’t wait for you to hear this episode.

Happy Monday mamas! Welcome to the So You Had a Baby Podcast, Episode 10. Today, we’re doing something a little different and taking it back to a podcast favorite and one of our very first episodes - Postpartum Expectations vs. Reality. In this episode we discuss our personal expectations, what that looked like for each of us, the reality, and how we got through it all. We hope you enjoy this throwback episode.

We are so excited you are joining us this week, and we're really excited about this episode. Our topic is postpartum expectation versus reality. Let's be real, as you get closer to having a baby, you have this expectation of what it will be like in the moments after birth and in the following months. But once you get there, you realize that what you expected may not be your reality. We'll cover three topics in particular that we find worth highlighting. Join us today as we talk about postpartum expectation versus reality!

Hey Mamas welcome back to So You Had a Baby! We could not be more excited to introduce today's guest! We are interviewing Jennifer Davidson, the Owner of Tumble NW! 

Jennifer Davidson is a native Oregonian and local entrepreneur. She previously worked as a business consultant and has recently opened Tumble, a boutique gymnastics studio for kids in the Northwest area of Portland, OR. Gymnastics has been a lifelong passion of hers, and Portland has been a perfect place to raise her two daughters. 

As a mama with two girls under the age of six, finding time to balance it all has been a lifelong journey in learning to accept the present moment for exactly what it is.

Y’all, Jen is amazing! It was so nice speaking with her and hearing her postpartum story. She is such a real and honest person, who has a story that is so relatable and I’m sure many mamas can identify with. There were several moments where Krista and I gasped and laughed, we just really enjoyed speaking with her. We cannot wait for you to hear this episode and hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Also, don't forget to check out our show notes below to learn more about Jen and Tumble NW!
