Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Six months postpartum… wow! What a ride it’s been. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you a real, raw update on what this season of life has looked like for me—mentally, physically, emotionally, all of it. From the outside, it might look like I’ve “bounced back,” but the truth? This journey has been anything but linear.

I’m sharing the unexpected lessons, the mindset shifts, and the moments that forced me to slow down and reevaluate what actually matters. I’ve had to learn how to say no (a lot), how to listen to my body in a totally new way, and how to embrace a version of myself that feels brand new and totally unfamiliar at times. And honestly? It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve found a few things that are actually helping.

I’ll walk you through what’s changed for me physically—yes, including the messy, honest stuff like weight fluctuations and trying to find a new rhythm with food, movement, and rest. Plus, I’m officially walking the walk right alongside you, working with a coach inside my Macro Accelerator program as I dive into body recomposition, focusing on strength, energy, and feeling like me again.

And because I’ve gotten a bunch of DMs about this, I’m also answering some of your top questions around postpartum nutrition, metabolism shifts, and how to approach macros while nursing. Whether you’re in the postpartum chapter yourself, thinking ahead, or just navigating a major life transition, this one’s packed with real talk, helpful insights, and encouragement to help you feel a little more seen and supported on your journey. Let’s get into it!

Topics covered on postpartum:

• Why the postpartum season has completely reshaped how I think about priorities, productivity, and what actually matters
• The truth about weight fluctuations after birth, including what it’s like to lose and gain weight after birth
