Hi Mama Friend,
Are you struggling to regain your strength after going through pregnancy?
I think you are here because something needs to change. You are in the thick of your postpartum journey, feeling weak, overweight, tired and exhausted ALL THE TIME. Your body just doesn’t feel the same anymore, and you so desperately just want to feel like YOU again. Life is extremely overwhelming right now between diaper changes, baby feedings, your busy work schedule, laundry and lack of sleep. Plus, you just feel too busy to make the changes in your health that you know you need to make.
I believe you are here because you are tired of the way you feel in your own skin and the way you look in the mirror. You want to be strong again like you used to be before becoming pregnant. You are tired of not making the progress towards your goals, and you’re sick of living each day like you didn’t accomplish what you set out to accomplish. You are ready and willing to make fitness a priority and to make the changes in your life that will ultimately impact your health for the rest of your life. But you don’t know how and where to start.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jena Bradley, and I help new moms just like you regain their strength through my physical therapy expertise and my real life experiences as a busy working mom of 4 little girls. Yes, I love all things schedules, routines and goal setting sessions, but I’m also known for dishing out some juicy health hacks that moms haven’t heard before.
Every week we are going to go on this journey together, and I am going to hold your hand as you navigate your postpartum recovery the healthy way. Join me for inspiring conversations that will help keep you motivated and determined to reach your fitness goals faster and, ultimately, help you feel empowered, stronger and more confident as a mom. I can’t wait to meet you inside!

75 // 4 Simple Steps to Build Better Habits and Lose Weight
Welcome to the Weight Loss Week Series!! + Atomic Habit Series = 1 AWESOME EPISODE!!!
>>Weight Loss Week Episodes 72, 73, 74, 75, 76(coming Monday!)
Atomic Habits Series (The ODD episodes): Ep. 61, Ep. 63, Ep. 65, Ep. 67, Ep. 69, Ep. 71
We are combining two series into one for this super jam-packed episode. We have been talking all about the book Atomic Habits, by James Clear over the past several episodes and now we are in the middle of the Weight Loss Week series.
One of the main goals postpartum moms have is to lose weight. It's not as easy as it sounds because of all the varying factors that are going on in your new life: your baby's feeding schedule varies, your baby's sleep schedule is inconsistent, your work-life balance is non-existent, and your relationships are changing ever since your baby entered this world. How do you find the time and energy to create healthy habits around fitness and weight loss with all these variables in play?
This episode unpacks that and explains the 4 crucial yet simple steps to build better habits. Without these 4 steps, habits are non-existent. Listen in to learn more!

Welcome to the Weight Loss Week Series!!
>>Episodes 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 (Coming Monday!)
Are you getting sleep, mama? I'm going to guess you aren't because, well, what new mom does get sleep? Not that many. And for that reason, I want to provide some advice on how you can use my tips to get more sleep and use sleep to your advantage ultimately for weight loss.
I did it with all 4 of my babies and I know you can too. Sleep training for your baby and getting plenty of mama-sleep is a crucial part of weight loss, so please don't neglect this very important area of your health.

Customer Reviews
Best Podcast for Fitness Postpartum
I’m so grateful to Dr. Jena for bringing her knowledge to the podcast world. Listening to this podcast has been so helpful. I love all the tips on how to strengthen core while doing every day stuff and squeezing in core workouts in 1 minute or 5 minutes. This is the number 1 podcast for abdominal strengthening and care during postpartum that I have found.
Quick bites of motivation!
I really enjoy this podcast because I’m able to listen to it and motivate myself throughout the week. It’s short and sweet and gives you actual takeaways for new moms. Dr. Jena also has a really motivating and soothing voice that you’ll love to listen to!
Loving the habit!
Dr. Jena your podcast helped me!
I switched up my whole morning routine- clothes laid out in bathroom- I get dressed before I do anything. I have been setting my alarm for a few minutes earlier each day. I workout before I do anything and then quickly make coffee and my teen's breakfast then get my power hour in. Listening to the podcast while picking apart the atomic habits book has been game changing. I am a year postpartum but this podcast has me finally putting my fitness and health journey back as a priority!!
Thank you so much!!
