13. I'm pregnant! Recapping my first trimester

In today's episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I'm pressing pause on our fat loss phase series to share something a little more personal—I'm officially in my second pregnancy, and today I'm taking you behind the scenes of my first trimester experience!  In this episode, we cover: How I found out I was pregnant—the unexpected clues from my Oura Ring, taking the test, and surprising Isaac. First trimester symptoms & food aversions—what felt similar to my first pregnancy, what was completely different, and the foods that actually helped me feel better. Why movement became my medicine—how strength training, running, and even swimming helped reduce nausea, boost energy, and remind me why exercise is about so much more than calories burned. Motherhood, mindset, and asking for help—what being pregnant with a toddler taught me about letting myself feel, leaning on my support system, and focusing on what I can do instead of what I can't. Whether you're currently pregnant, planning for pregnancy, postpartum, or simply navigating a hard season in life, I hope this episode reminds you that your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Give yourself permission to ask for help, focus on what makes you feel your best, and remember—something is always better than nothing. 👉 If you enjoy this episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss what's next.
