    Girl, Do It All | Realistic Postpartum Advice & Building Your Grit

    In today’s episode of Get Built, Babe!, I’m joined by Hailey, a physical therapist assistant, certified personal trainer, sports nutrition coach, and mom who is passionate about helping women become stronger in every season of life. We’re talking all things motherhood, fitness, and what it really looks like to keep growing into the woman you want to be. Hailey shares her journey of training for an Olympic-distance triathlon, learning to embrace being a beginner, and building the grit to keep showing up even when things get hard. We also dive into realistic postpartum fitness advice, including where to start when returning to exercise, why you don’t need to jump straight back into your old routine, and the importance of core and pelvic floor recovery. Getting back into fitness doesn't have to mean doing it all at once. Sometimes it starts with getting on the floor and moving alongside your baby. We also chat about Hailey’s motto, “Always Evolving,” and why women don't have to put themselves in a box. You can love being a mom and still chase big goals, try new things, and discover what you're capable of. In this episode, we cover: Realistic ways to ease back into exercise postpartumWhy pelvic floor recovery deserves more attentionBuilding grit, resilience, and accountabilityLearning to be a beginner and giving yourself graceEmbracing every season of motherhood without losing yourselfWhy you don't have to choose just one version of yourselfIf you’ve been feeling stuck, intimidated to start something new, or like motherhood has changed what you're capable of, this episode is your reminder that you can keep growing, keep challenging yourself, and keep becoming. Girl, you really can do it all. 3 Connect with Hailey on Instagram @life.with.hai  Find her programing and links here! https://linktr.ee/hailey.andrew?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio Connect with me here!
