30 | My Strength and Inspiration: My Mother’s Journey Through Pregnancy, Back Pain, and Exercise

Sitting down with the woman who inspired so much of what I do. In this special episode, I’m joined by my mom to talk about her personal journey through trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and motherhood. We talk about back pain and sciatica, staying active, women’s fitness, strength training, and how movement has played a role throughout different seasons of her life. As a pelvic floor physical therapist and strength and conditioning coach, it was especially meaningful to hear my mom’s experiences through the lens of what I now know about pelvic health, pelvic floor physical therapy, postpartum recovery, and women’s fitness.But this conversation is about more than pregnancy and exercise. It’s about listening to the women who came before us, learning from their experiences, and recognizing how much our mothers can teach us. My mom has always been an inspiration to me, and I hope this conversation feels relatable whether you’re thinking about having a baby, currently pregnant, navigating postpartum, working through back pain or sciatica, interested in strength training, or simply love your mom and want to hear another woman’s story of motherhood.
