Coach Katie is back today as we dive into Part Two of our Postpartum Series. Jumping back into the gym takes time after having a baby and it's important to know how to slowly ease back in. Growing a human is hard, giving birth is hard, and getting back to feeling like you again is equally as hard.

Listen in as Coach Sue and Coach Katie chat about how to give yourself grace during the transition postpartum, how to mentally deal with setbacks, how to get used to your new body following birth, plus so much more!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.
