✨ Embracing the Postpartum Body

The biggest shift for me wasn’t physical—it was mental. I had to start seeing my body not as something broken or “less than,” but as a vessel of strength, healing, and grace.

Affirmations were my turning point. I began each day speaking truth over myself:

“My body is strong, and I am proud of what it has done.”
“Every day, I am getting healthier and stronger.”
“Progress, not perfection, is my goal.”

They felt awkward at first, but they began to change how I spoke to and saw myself. This mindset work was everything.

📸 A Picture That Changed Everything

There was a day I saw a photo of myself holding my newborn—and I cringed. I focused on the belly, the softness, the exhaustion written all over my face. But then I paused.

What I should have seen? A mama in love. A warrior recovering. A body that had just done something miraculous. That moment flipped a switch for me. I decided to stop being my harshest critic and become my own biggest cheerleader.

Mindset is the first muscle you need to flex in any postpartum health journey.

🧃 Small, Sustainable Changes That Made a Big Difference

Forget crash diets and grueling workouts. What helped me lose weight and actually feel good was simplifying everything.

Here’s what worked:

Hydration is healing. I aimed to drink a gallon of water a day—with a pinch of sea salt for electrolytes. It curbed cravings, boosted energy, and kept my skin a clear.
Nourishing foods. Instead of restricting, I focused on lots of clean proteins, good fats, and adding more fruit & veggies into my day. This gave my body what it needed to recover.
Gut health first. I added superfoods and healing nutrients like gut friendly herbs, greens superfoods powders, and berries high in antioxidants to keep digestion smooth and reduce inflammation.
Movement I loved. No 5 a.m. bootcamps—just walks with my baby, dancing while cooking, or gentle yoga before bed.

💡 PRO Tip: One thing that truly supported my energy, metabolism, and gut health during this time was a simple 5 Day Reset I did using clean supplements. It helped me gently detox, reduce bloat, and feel like myself again. I now coach mamas through this—so let me know if you want info!
