Fit Friends Happy Hour

What Nobody Tells You About Postpartum Fitness

Katie Hake RDN, LD, CPT

Wish you could feel like “yourself” again after having a baby - or already dreading the pressure to “bounce back” even before pregnancy? This episode of Fit Friends Happy Hour uncovers the real postpartum fitness journey - why it’s harder (and more emotional) than Instagram makes it look, and what nobody tells you about healing, rebuilding strength, and embracing your new body. More than half of new moms report body dissatisfaction - let’s change that narrative with honesty, compassion, and science-backed strategies.

What We Cover:

  1. The truth about postpartum body image, depletion, and why “bouncing back” is a damaging myth
  2. Practical steps to rebuild physical and mental health (hint: walking and nourishment > hustling and HIIT)
  3. How to spot signs of real depletion - and advocate for the deeper care your body needs

If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or frustrated after baby, this is your episode.
