Let’s get real - pregnancy, postpartum, and the beautiful chaos that is navigating your fitness journey through it all can be a LOT. It’s been a minute since I’ve been pregnant (like 17 years), but I remember allll of the feelings and emotions that come with this life-altering season!I’ve also learned plenty since my pregnancies. I know that your movement and mindset during pregnancy and postpartum is super important, and you MUST give yourself permission to evolve.Pregnancy isn’t a time for the ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking - it’s a time to shift your workouts, and honor your energy. Movement is still medicine, and taking care of your body and mind is NEVER selfish!Postpartum is a time for you to heal, nourish, and give yourself grace. It’s NOT about ‘bouncing back’, or forcing your body into extremes. You’re not going backwards…you’re building something brand NEW.You don’t need to wish for your ‘pre-baby body’. Whatever chapter you’re in, I hope you keep showing up, pivot with purpose when necessary, and trust that every season is shaping the strongest version of YOU yet!In this episode, we cover:How to approach movement during pregnancy & postpartumWhy your pregnancy shouldn’t be an ‘all-or-nothing’ seasonPrioritizing YOUR health & well-being during pregnancyThe power in realizing that YOU are your baby’s home (and that means everything)Real talk on postpartum fitness + sustainable ways to rebuild your strengthEmbracing the version of you right NOW & letting her take the leadLinks/Resources:Ep. 166 | Rethinking Fitness: How Body Recomp Can Transform Your Fitness JourneyEp. 170 | Body Recomp: Key Mindset Shifts for Long-term ChangeJoin IT GIRL membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
