What’s your relationship like with the scale? Supportive… or toxic?

In this episode, we’re having a real talk about that little number that can hold way too much power. If stepping on the scale has ever messed with your mood, your motivation, or your sense of self-worth—you are not alone.

I’m walking you through why weight might just be a side effect (not the goal), how to stop using the scale as your main measure of progress, and how to start tuning into what actually matters when it comes to healing postpartum.

This isn’t about ignoring your goals—it’s about shifting your focus to real signs of success, like better energy, stable moods, stronger metabolism, and food freedom. 💪✨

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

[1:02] Why weight changes can be a side effect, not the main issue

[4:42] The mind game the scale plays—and how it sabotages your progress

[6:55] Signs it’s time to break up with your scale (even temporarily)

[11:35] Non-scale victories: how to actually measure progress

[14:22] Learning to tune into hunger and fullness cues

[14:57] Cold turkey or weaning off? How to step away from the scale

[16:54] When (and how) to know if you’re ready to bring the scale back

If the scale is stealing your joy or hijacking your progress, it might be time to redefine what success looks like. Tune in for a refreshing perspective and simple shifts you can make today to feel more empowered in your postpartum journey.

Your six-week postpartum checkup is often seen as the finish line for recovery—but let’s be real: does a quick chat about birth control and a number on the scale really reflect how you’re doing?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what postpartum healing actually looks like beyond that standard appointment. We’re talking about how to nourish your hormones, protect your metabolism, and stop letting the scale define your progress. Because thriving postpartum isn’t about shrinking your body—it’s about replenishing it. 💪✨

You’ll hear my personal experience with postpartum checkups (including how triggering the scale was), what I focused on those first few months, and how my approach shifted after each of my babies.

Let this episode be your reminder: healing is not a one-size-fits-all process—and your body deserves more than just a weigh-in.

🔍 Sneak Peek Inside the Episode:

[1:02] I share about my 6-week postpartum checkup, birth control, getting weighed

[4:21] My focus for the first two months postpartum

[9:25] What to do after the first two months?

[12:41] My second and third postpartum experience

[14:00] We have a belief about what it means to get down to our pre-baby body and how you talk to your body about it

Your six-week appointment doesn’t define your healing. Tune in for encouragement and practical strategies to support your hormones, mood, metabolism, and mindset—because you deserve to feel good in your body again. 💛
