info_outlineIn today’s episode, I’m talking with Miranda from SHE Fitness. I was excited to have Miranda on to dig into something we’re both very passionate about - taking care of ourselves as moms. Miranda has been in the health and fitness space as a Certified Personal Trainer for a while now. After seeing a gap in the information and resources that are readily available to women during pregnancy and postpartum though, she made the decision to start her own business, and support women during this very crucial (and often overlooked) time.
Miranda is a Certified Personal Trainer and Pre to Postpartum Core Exercise Specialist, wife of a cattle farmer, and mother of a 14 month old. She mainly works with Pre-Postpartum women to help them "get their body back", and feel confident in themselves after this beautiful, yet challenging stage of life. Miranda also wants to help change the narrative of the "typical mom bod" and tell women that even though your body changes, you are not "stuck." You can be the best version of yourself (even as a mom), and she wants to help get you there! From urinary leaking, to pain with sex, low back pain, decreased energy, blood sugar issues, weight gain, and more, she can help and encourage you to a healthy and active lifestyle! Sometimes, you just need someone cheering you on and believing in you..Miranda is that kind of coach!
In this episode, we cover:
- One of the best (and simplest) things you can learn to do now before even becoming pregnant
- What you can do during pregnancy to really help prepare you for childbirth
- Things you can focus on to have a more restful and healing postpartum experience + what to keep in mind after your 6 week postpartum check-up
- Giving yourself grace when it comes to taking care of yourself and your health, while still being present for your family
- The very real struggle that is ‘mom guilt’ when you’re trying to balance your family, work, and more
