Throwback to when I had a perfectly Easter egg-shaped belly 🐣 Just wondering if the Easter Bunny pees a little when she hops. If so, I’ve got a plan for her!

Empowered women empower women. Honored to work with these (and many more) women who are strong, kind, and generous with their many talents!

My baby celebrated her 4th birthday with a snow day. She was born on a snow day, too. I often wonder if the snow had started just a little earlier or labor started just a little later, would we have been able to get to the hospital? Could I have done what it takes to have an unplanned homebirth? Would primal instincts have taken over? Musings for another time... Today, as I snuggled this four-year-old while the snow fell outside, I kept replaying the peaceful memories of being in a quiet hospital with non-essential personnel told to stay home. It’s not uncommon to have a slew of visitors and interruptions (baby’s nurse, mom’s nurse, pediatrician, OBGYN, surgeon, medical students, room service (even if you didn’t order it, someone will come to remind you you can), hospital staff photographer, lactation consultant, not to mention family and friends) But that little 2-day snowy stay was like something out of a dream. Yes, I was sore, bleeding, and exhausted, but I was also cocooned with my new baby watching the snow fall and being taken care of by an angel of a nurse who pulled multiple shifts in a row so others didn’t have to drive in. So I guess what I’m saying is, if you can’t have your baby during a weather crisis, what can you do to ensure you have just the right amount of visitors to help you but not overwhelm you? Set expectations before the baby comes. It’s ok to decline visitors. If you don’t have a partner or friend to act as gatekeeper and bouncer, ask a nurse to do the dirty work of keeping non-essential staff at bay so you can get much needed rest and bonding time.

I make my friends do weird stuff with me. Love you JenCam and 😘 This was supposed to be a cute little partner workout for ❤️ Day but now it’s a form correction post. A few months ago challenged me to move closer to the bench (Jen’s leg, in this case) but I found my quads were too tight to do the full range of motion. So I stopped using weights, did a ton of quad stretches and warm ups (hello, ) and started really focusing on getting that back knee low and close to the bench in my . It’s been 2.5 months and I still haven’t added weights back in but I know I’m getting a deeper I’d like to think I’ve gotten better and it was just the wonkiness of doing this with a friend that made me slip back into bad habits.

At first glance, this is merely a joke. BUT, that little squatty thing she is doing is actually the first stretch I teach my pregnant clients. This is a preferred pushing position in many countries outside the U.S. because it shortens the birth canal. You never can be quite sure what options will be available to you during your labor, so why not build endurance in this position throughout your pregnancy in case this is a position available to you on the big day? My clients practice for 30-60 seconds 5x a day. 📷

Whipped up this ginger date soup, not just because of Lunar New Year but because I’m testing out recipes to give to new moms. Made with Chinese red dates and goji berries, this soup is a sweet and savory mix of ingredients that “boost circulation and enhance inner warmth.”

Child on lap. F***y pack around neck. Good read in hand. ✈️
I walk alongside women who are waiting. Waiting for baby to come. Waiting for connective tissue to heal and strengthen after birth. But for some, waiting for a seemingly endless time of uncertainty.

Foam rolling? Or admiring my shiny leggings and Jordans? Both. 2019 resolution going strong!

Even if your birth went exactly as you hoped, it is still trauma to your body. Yes, it’s a natural process that grounds us in humanity and forever links us to our sisters throughout time yadda yadda yadda. But that s*** HURTS! And unfortunately we live in a culture where we are expected to return to normal far earlier then many of us are ready. And the women who do outwardly show no physical symptoms are praised for how quickly they “bounced back.” So if you’re pregnant or recently postpartum, I encourage you to have grace with yourself after the trauma you just went through/are going through. And if you know someone who just had a baby, steer conversation away from how physically great she looks (even if she does!) and look for ways to support her mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
