Ever wonder what a fit postpartum mom actually looks like? (Hint: It’s not about abs or a number on the scale!) In today’s episode, we’re redefining postpartum fitness and talking about what true strength, energy, and confidence look like after having a baby.

I’m sharing my personal story of the one simple habit that changed EVERYTHING in my postpartum journey—and how you can find your first “domino” to start seeing big results too.

We’ll chat about how to measure progress without obsessing over the scale, the daily habits that make staying fit easy, and how to start becoming the strong, confident mom you were made to be.

Keep Smiling,

Jena

Is that postpartum belly wrap actually doing anything… or is it just making you sweat? 

If you’ve been wondering whether wearing a belly wrap after baby actually helps with healing your core—or if it’s just another trend—this episode is for you. I’m breaking down the real reason to wear a wrap (it’s not to shrink your waist!), who should use one, who probably shouldn’t, and how to make it actually work for you.

PLUS, I’m sharing a super simple daily rhythm you can follow to boost your core healing in just a few minutes a day—because you don’t have time for complicated.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered if your stomach will ever go back to normal… this episode will give you so much clarity and hope.

Keep Smiling,

Jena

Feeling lost on how to heal your postpartum belly? I get it—I was too after my first baby! Even as a physical therapist, I had no clue where to start. I didn’t know which exercises were safe, when to begin, or how to fit it into my exhausting new-mom life.

But after four babies, I figured out exactly what works—and what doesn’t. In this episode, I’m sharing my postpartum journey, the four key things that made all the difference, and simple steps you can take to start healing today.

Mama, your recovery matters—and you don’t have to do it alone! Listen to today's episode and learn what really works for postpartum healing. 

Keep Smiling,

Jena
