54. Strong Moms Don’t Wait 6 Weeks to Exercise Postpartum - What to Do in the First 2 Weeks

About this episode
In this episode, I’m breaking down why strong moms do not need to wait six weeks to start postpartum recovery and what I actually recommend doing in those first two weeks after birth. I talk about the difference between gentle rehab and jumping back into intense workouts, why breathing and core connection matter so much early postpartum, and the common mistakes I see moms make when returning to exercise too quickly.
I also dive into walking postpartum, pelvic floor healing, and the symptoms you should never ignore, like leaking, heaviness, or pain. If you want to feel strong, supported, and confident as you recover, this episode will help you understand what your body really needs in those early postpartum weeks.
