E240. Redefining Fitness in Motherhood

Redefining Fitness in Motherhood - Jen Murray

Motherhood changes everything - including how we see ourselves, our bodies, and what “fitness” even means.

In this honest and empowering conversation, I’m joined by personal trainer and women’s health specialist Jen Murray to unpack the pressure so many women feel to “bounce back” after having a baby - physically, mentally and emotionally.

Because the truth is… nothing about motherhood is linear.

We explore why your priorities naturally shift after children, how unrealistic expectations are harming women, and why your body doesn’t need fixing - it needs understanding, support and compassion.

From pelvic floor recovery and sleep deprivation to identity shifts and the invisible mental load, this episode is a powerful reminder that struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing.

It means you’re human.

We also share practical, realistic ways to rebuild strength, confidence and trust in your body - without guilt, perfectionism or pressure.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve “lost yourself” in motherhood, this episode will help you feel seen, supported and empowered to move forward - on your terms.
