Description

Getting back into exercise after having a baby is so much more than just “listening to your body” or “taking it slow.” While that advice is common, it’s often incomplete—and can leave you doing things that don’t truly support your recovery (and may even increase your risk of injury or pelvic floor issues).

In this episode, I’m breaking down the top 3 mistakes I see new moms make when returning to exercise—and more importantly, what to do instead. Think of this as your loving reminder and a gentle guide to help you feel stronger, safer, and more confident as you rebuild after baby.
