In this week’s episode, I chat with Bernadette, mum to two boys and owner of Core and Floor Restore.

For those that know or follow Bernadette, you’ll know of her passion for helping women restore and strengthen their cores and pelvic floors before and after pregnancy, and how she’s changing the lives of women through her education and exercise programs.

Bernadette shares her journey of developing C+FS, including how it began long before she’d even imagined the business as it is now.

Bernadette shares the journey she’s been on with her post-partum body, why she makes the active decision to love her body and what she tells herself if negative self-talk creeps in.

Bernadette passionately describes how she prioritises her physical health and why she believes this is so important. In her words: ‘you can do the dishes tomorrow, you can’t do today’s exercise tomorrow!” She talks about how exercise makes her a better person and mum and that she refuses to feel guilty for prioritising it, even if it’s only 5 minutes.

Bernadette also talks about what being a mum has taught her about the world, and reflects on her own childhood, describing how her experiences shaped how she now chooses to parent her two boys.

It’s a jam-packed episode full of motivation, hard truths and a little bit of newborn breastfeeding! Listen now on all podcast platforms.
