Overcoming Guilt: Prioritizing Your Health and Wellness While Caring for a Newborn

Hey, hey! If you're a new mom, I know how much you're carrying right now. The exhaustion, the endless to-do list, the constant feeling that no matter what you do, it's never enough. But I need you to know this: prioritizing your body is not selfish—it's survival. It's not about "getting your body back" or bouncing back—it's about feeling good in your body now, so you can show up as the strongest, happiest version of yourself. So today, we're tackling five mindset shifts to overcome the guilt of prioritizing movement as a new mom. What I discuss: Your baby needs a mom who feels good—not just a mom who's physically present 24/7. You are not losing time by working out—you're buying it back with more energy, patience, and ease. Movement doesn't have to be alone time—you can integrate it into your day, guilt-free. Movement is not a reward—it's a basic need. Your body deserves it. You don't have to do it perfectly. Showing up imperfectly is still progress.
