You’ve been told your labs are “normal.” Your doctor says “just take progesterone.” And is IVF the ONLY(very expensive) route to conceive?

In this episode, I sit down to chat with Martha Hodges, a former client, while she shared a raw, unfiltered look at what postpartum recovery actually looks like for so many women—but rarely gets talked about. From back pain and nerve issues to SPD and the total unraveling of her body after baby number three, Martha’s journey is one of struggle, resilience, and finally—healing. If you've ever felt like your postpartum experience was anything but "normal," this conversation is for you.

What if everything you thought about postpartum recovery was wrong? In this episode, I chat with Coach Gloria Natale to break down the real deal of postpartum training—beyond the Instagram noise. We dive into Coach Gloria's most recent pregnancy and recovery compared to her first, and how she did it completely different than before. We cut into the emotional and physical shifts of pregnancy, why early rehab matters, and how core and pelvic floor strength are non-negotiables—not just for recovery, but for life. From the pressure to “bounce back” to redefining fitness on your own terms, this is a must-listen for any mom who wants to heal smarter, not harder.

What happens when you’ve battled IBS for nearly three decades—and finally find relief?

From rock-bottom moments to breakthrough wins, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone who’s felt dismissed, frustrated, or stuck in their health journey. You’ll walk away feeling inspired by what’s possible for you when you finally address root cause healing.
