What No one Tells You About Bouncing Back After Baby
Description
The pressure to bounce back after having a baby is everywhere—and while it’s sold as motivating, it often does more harm than good. I know this firsthand. As a younger fitness professional and first-time mom, I felt the weight of those expectations: to fit back into my clothes, to run again, to feel “like myself” as quickly as possible. But the reality didn’t match the highlight reels I saw online, and it left me exhausted, frustrated, and fighting against my own healing.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why the bounce-back mentality is both unrealistic and unhealthy—and what to focus on instead. I’ll share powerful mindset shifts, eye-opening stats about postpartum recovery, and why rebuilding is the smarter, kinder, and more sustainable path forward.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to get your body “back,” this conversation will bring you the freedom and encouragement you need to let go of the bounce back—and embrace the rebuild process.
