Welcome to The Tara Talk, your go-to podcast for all things mindset + movement! Today Tara connects with Ashley Nowe to discuss proper core engagement, strength training as a mother, and how things change during pregnancy and postpartum.    After birthing three children, (including a giant set of twins), mom of four and stepmom of two Ashley Nowe didn’t recognize her own body. A lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast, she was determined to find a way to heal her severe diastasis recti — postpartum ab separation — and love her body again. Through correcting her breathing and engaging in intentional pelvic floor and deep core work, she found herself again, and healed her broken body.
