    The Unspoken Gaps in Pregnancy & Postpartum Fitness Every Mom Should Know About

    There are major gaps in pregnancy and postpartum fitness—and moms are the ones paying the price. Too many women are left piecing together random workouts, avoiding exercises out of fear, or feeling completely lost after being “cleared” postpartum with no real guidance on what to do next. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing the “right” workouts during pregnancy or postpartum, you’re not alone. And more importantly—you are not the problem. In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest gaps in pregnancy and postpartum fitness: the lack of intentional programming during pregnancy, outdated and fear-based advice, the absence of real postpartum support, and the massive “now what?” phase moms experience months (and even years) after birth. We’ll also talk about what moms actually need instead to support their body at every stage. If you’re tired of guessing and ready for a smarter, more supportive approach to fitness in motherhood, this episode is for you. [NOW OPEN] Built For Motherhood Fitness Membership for pregnancy, postpartum, and busy moms. With structured programs, clear guidance, and coaching support we'll take the guesswork out of exercise so you can feel confident and strong. Say hello over on Instagram.

    3 Things Your Pregnancy Workouts MUST Do (For Labor, Birth & Postpartum Recovery)

    If you’re pregnant and trying to “do the right things” with your workouts, you’ve probably been told to just walk more, stick to light weights, or play it safe—and while that advice sounds helpful, it can actually leave you underprepared for what your body is about to go through. In this episode, I’m breaking down why that common guidance may be doing you a disservice and what it really looks like to train intentionally during pregnancy. If you want to feel strong, supported, and truly prepared for what’s ahead, this episode will shift how you think about prenatal fitness.

    C-section recovery doesn’t have to feel confusing, overwhelming, or like something you just have to “get through.” In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest C-section recovery mistakes I made with my first birth—and what I did differently with my second and third C-sections that helped me heal faster, feel stronger, and support my core and pelvic floor the right way.

    Eliminate the Guesswork: Steal My 4-Step Pregnancy & Postpartum Fitness Framework

    In this episode, we’re breaking down why you don’t need more workouts — you need a clear, effective pregnancy and postpartum fitness framework. If you’ve ever felt inconsistent with exercise during pregnancy or unsure how to safely return to fitness after having a baby, this episode will help you understand what’s been missing.

I’m sharing my MOVE method—a simple, structured approach to prenatal and postpartum fitness that helps you build strength, support your core and pelvic floor, improve mobility, and increase endurance in a way that actually fits into real mom life. Whether you’re currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or further along in your motherhood journey, this episode will give you a clear framework to help you feel stronger, more confident, and more capable in your body—without the guesswork.
