🔥Motherhood without losing yourself
🤰2 vaginal births. Both on my terms.

DM STRENGTH to start with The 3 Pregnancy Strength Foundations Hi, I am Elke, the coach you call when you want to stay shockingly fit during pregnancy! I once feared pregnancy. Not the baby, but what it might do to my strong, defined body. Then I fell pregnant ... and lost the baby. And everything changed. I knew I wanted motherhood - but not at the cost of losing myself. So I made a decision:

I

would become a mom and stay the sexy, fit, powerful woman I’d been beforehand. Certified Pre- and Postnatal Fitness Coach, Women’s Wellness Coach, PT & Pilates Instructor and Mama of two beautiful little boys.

I spent years chasing. New diet. Train more, maybe twice a day will finally get me there. Stop eating at 6pm.

I looked fine. I was a size S. And I was exhausted.

Pregnancy didn’t take my body. It gave it back to me.

That’s the work nobody tells you is possible.

They said pregnancy changes your body forever.
I said watch me.

But here’s what actually got me — I had the body sorted. What I hadn’t sorted was the woman inside it.

Since becoming a mum I watched myself shrink. People pleasing. Comparing. Staying quiet. And I didn’t realise how deep it had gone.

Until last week.

For 7 days I attended the Unf**kwithable Challenge with and I am not the same woman who showed up on day one.

I did things I told myself were too much — what will people say?

I posted a dancing video — always thought it was unprofessional. It wasn’t.

I shared my real thoughts on motherhood and the system we’re living in — out loud.

I applied for a speaking gig. Who do I think I am? Exactly.

I signed up for a solo Paladin race. Alone. On purpose. The hardest thing I have ever done.

I asked a stranger to buy me a coffee.

I screamed. I cried. I said I can’t — and then I did it anyway.

Because once you burn the good girl identity that has been running the show for 36 years, something shifts. You stop looking at the line in the sand. You step over it. And you become a completely different woman.

So here are my 10 standards. Not goals. Not intentions. Standards.

1. My past shaped me. It does not own me. No more “I can’t”, “I’m not enough”, “this isn’t for me.”
2. I don’t fall for the narrative that a mother has to choose or sacrifice — there is a way to have it all.
3. I am selective about who enters my inner circle — you become your closest five.
4. A no means a yes to something better and more powerful.
5. I ride my own journey — my lane, my pace, my standards.
6. Ready will never come so I claim my opportunities now and get ready on the way.
7. Failure doesn’t exist — only lessons, decisions and adjustment.
8. I only work with full body yes women. No halfway maybes. Full body badass mum energy only.
9. I don’t need external validation — RIP likes and saves.
10. I post because I have something to say. Not for the sake of it.

Here’s to not playing small. To not hiding. To going for everything I once thought wasn’t for me.

The line is drawn. I’ve stepped

Had to be said…

Obviously I am very passionate about this topic while I am diving deep into the matrescence world and how we’re set up for failure in our current society.

More to come…

Drop a 🔥 if you have felt the weight of a judged mother before.

P.S. it already starts as early as your pregnant bump is showing.

Your mind will be your biggest opponent in that birth room.

Not the pain. Not the length. Your mind.

How much longer. I can’t do this. This is harder than I thought.

Most women visualise walking out feeling empowered. And that matters. But it is not enough.

You need to visualise doing the HARD parts too.

How you move through a contraction. How you breathe when it gets intense. Which position you’re in. Whether you’re holding your partner’s hand or holding onto the bed. What it feels like when you walk into that hospital. Where you park.

The details. The hard moments. Not just the finish line.

Because when you’re in it — and it gets hard, and it will — your mind needs to think I have done this before. I know exactly what this feels like. I can keep going.

That is not wishful thinking. That is neuroscience. Your brain cannot tell the difference between a vividly imagined experience and a real one.

So give it the experience before race day, over and over again.

This is where a lot of women get stuck.

I didn’t stop training during pregnancy.
But I thought about it a lot.

Because the noise is loud.
And when you hear enough conflicting advice, doubt creeps in and stopping feels like the safest option.

Here’s the thing:

Completely stopping movement doesn’t give you more confidence.

But not stopping doesn’t automatically help neither.

What actually helped wasn’t pushing through it
or pretending I wasn’t unsure.

Over my 2 pregnancies what really helped, was learning:

- what was still okay to do
- what needed to change as my body changed
- and why those choices made sense in pregnancy

That’s what settled my mind.

Because movement done well builds trust.
It reminds you that your body is capable, not fragile.

You don’t need to stop or push.

You just need the right information.

Stay here, follow along if that’s what you’re looking for.

I remember feeling guilty for wanting more.

More strength.

More confidence.

More control over my body.

And telling myself I should just be grateful — which I was —

but also knowing something inside me wasn’t settled.

What I know now:

Those feelings don’t mean you’re ungrateful.

They mean you care - about yourself AND your baby.

Pregnancy doesn’t require you to shrink, disappear, or disconnect from your body.

You’re allowed to want to feel strong, attractive, prepared, and confident.

And you don’t have to choose between your body or your baby.

You can have BOTH.

If you’re ready to make this the most empowering season of your life -

stay strong, walk into birth prepared, and come out fitter than pre-baby -

DM or comment “READY” and I’ll show you how.

Pregnancy tired hit me differently.

It wasn’t just physical -

it was the mental load of feeling like I wasn’t doing “enough.”

I thought if I pushed harder, I’d feel better.

But what I actually needed was permission

to stop fighting my body -

and start supporting it.

Energy didn’t come back when I did more.

It came back when I did what made sense for *that* season.

If you’re pregnant and navigating this now, you’re not lazy or behind.

👇Follow along - this is where we talk about staying strong, supported, and human during pregnancy.
