My Body Changed So Did My Priorities: From Abs to Energy

In today’s episode we talk about why you don’t need to shrink to be worthy. Let’s talk about body image after baby without the bounce-back B.S.

Here’s what no one tells you about postpartum life is how unfamiliar your own body can feel. 

In this honest and heartwarming episode, Shawna and Cara talk through the raw reality of body image after birth, especially following C-sections. 

They speak openly about the emotional whiplash of seeing stretch marks and surgical scars where confidence used to live and how both slowly started to make peace with their postpartum selves.

Cara shares her fertility journey, the guilt that came with exercising, and what it felt like to lose the athletic identity she once held dear.

Shawna, ever candid, admits to Googling tummy tucks while stirring dinner and talks about the miracle of five-minute commitments that changed her life starting with help from physiotherapist Jeanette Yee.

Together, they offer a powerful reframe: this isn’t about looking like your old self. 

It’s about building a life (and a body) that feels strong, capable, and joyful again. 

If you’re stuck in front of the mirror or avoiding photos altogether, this conversation is the breath of fresh grace you didn’t know you needed.

TLFMTR (Too LONG for Mom to read):

• How C-sections and recovery impact your sense of self
  
  
  

• Why body shame robs us of moments that matter
  
  
  

• The shift from chasing “skinny” to building strength and function
  
  
  

• The underestimated power of starting small—just five minutes a day
  
  
  

• Seeing yourself the way your child sees you: as already enough
  
  
  

What would it feel like to stop chasing your pre-baby body and start honoring the body that carried you here?

Your worth isn't measured by your waistline. You are strong, worthy, and mom enough exactly as you are.
