What if pregnancy wasn’t a reason to pause your training but a reason to get more structured?
In this episode, I sit down with Dawn. After three years away from consistent training following the birth of her first daughter, she committed to a structured BBM plan. Four weeks later, she found out she was pregnant.
Instead of pulling back, she protected the routine she had just built. She upgraded to unlimited training and continued lifting. Now at 33 weeks pregnant, she is training consistently and feeling more capable than she did during her first pregnancy, when her movement was limited to yoga.
We talk about what changes when pregnancy is approached with structure instead of fragility, and how strength training supported both her physical capacity and mental steadiness.
We cover:
– Why she upgraded to unlimited training immediately after finding out she was pregnant
– Training through pregnancy without defaulting to fear or excessive restriction
– The difference between feeling limited in yoga versus supported by strength work
– Adjusting nutrition from vegan to animal protein to support recovery and energy
– Navigating modifications while maintaining intensity
– Modeling strength and consistency for her daughter
If you’re pregnant or navigating any season that feels like it requires you to slow down- this conversation offers a grounded alternative.
