Girl… are you staring at your postpartum body wondering where your energy went? Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and completely unmotivated to even think about working out again? You’re not broken—and you’re definitely not alone. In today’s episode, we’re having a real conversation about why it feels so hard to get back into fitness after having a baby. We’ll talk about why recovery is confusing, what no one tells you about energy and motivation after birth, and how doing less (yes, LESS) is actually the smartest place to start.
