Do you ever wonder how pregnancy and postpartum affect a woman's body or how to safely exercise during and after pregnancy? Maybe you're a former athlete facing the daunting task of redefining your fitness goals postpartum, or you're struggling with the idea of taking the necessary time to recover after childbirth. In this episode, we are discussing the experiences of pregnancy and postpartum athleticism with, Brianna Battles. She's not only the founder and CEO of Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism, but a mother who embodies the strength and resilience of women navigating this profound life stage.

This episode is for you if you’re looking for a blend of real talk, expert insights, and empowering stories that shine a light on the importance of balance, the misconception of rushing recovery, and why embracing a life of ‘athlete brain’ might not always be the best approach.
