114 | What Changes When Postpartum Moms Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time

"I'll start when things calm down." "I'll start Monday." "I'll focus on myself once the kids are older." Sound familiar, momma? In this episode, Val breaks down why waiting feels safe — and why the "right time" is a moving target that never actually arrives. She shares her own realization going into postpartum that it would be easy to put herself last, plus real patterns she hears from clients over and over, to show exactly what changes when you stop waiting and start small, right where you are.

This episode also goes deep on Val's 8-week group coaching program — what's actually inside it, who it's for (spoiler: any stage of motherhood, including pregnancy), and why enrollment is opening soon with limited spots.
