LAURA GREEN -Postpartum Miles & Punchlines
In this episode, I’m joined once again by Laura Green—comedic content creator, runner, and self-proclaimed queen of self-deprecating humor in the fitness world.
Laura’s known for her hilarious takes on running culture, her background as a physical therapist, and her ability to make the internet laugh one reel at a time.
We dive into Laura’s experiences with postpartum running after each of her births, her transition from travel PT to digital storyteller, and the reality of juggling mom life, humor, and hustle. From stroller struggles to health care insights, Laura brings her trademark honesty and humor to it all.
If you’ve ever needed a laugh, a relatable story, or a reminder that motherhood and movement can both be messy and meaningful, this conversation is for you.
We talk about:
-Returning to run after childbirth
-Transitioning out of health care
-The mental load of parenting
-The reality of running with kids
-Storytelling and skits on social media
