I would just want to do like a long run, sweat as much as possible.

Like it had to be strenuous or it wasn't a proper workout.

And that's what I worked through.

And I mean, that was a big part of why we started Kik.

After navigating that.

And unfortunately, a lot of women do go through that.

I don't know many women that haven't struggled with their body image over their life, unfortunately, because of the pressures of social media and society.

So for me, when I was pregnant, walking, I found helped.

I also, I think I knew that I felt average because I was pregnant.

So I was able to separate it from I feel average because I'm struggling with my mental health versus not actually just feel average because I'm pregnant.

And then when I went into postpartum, I actually got clearance to run quite early.

And interestingly, I didn't really want to run.

I was like, I just don't feel like doing this right now.

And I've very much been feelings led postpartum with returning to exercise.

I'm now back to running like three or 4K.

My pelvic floor, like I definitely weigh myself sometimes.

But that's the journey.

That is the journey.

So I've got to do pelvic floor exercises.

But that has really surprised me because I thought I'd rush into it.
