82. Interview with Brianna Battles on Pregnancy & Postpartum Fitness, the Identity Shifts & Mental Health Struggles of Motherhood, and How to Make an Impact in your Community

SO honored to welcome Brianna Battles, the founder & CEO of Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism, an incredible coach, mentor, and leading expert in pre and postnatal fitness onto the Podcast!

I cannot imagine a more meaningful individual to bring on for you as the first guest interview because she inspired everything that I do, and the mission I hold dear to support military women navigating motherhood and fitness through those seasons.

In this conversation we covered:

Our personal shared struggles finding our identity again as a mother and athlete, and the intersection between our and many mothers' experiences of anxiety, depression, and our changing bodies & fitness abilities
How to navigate the pressures we feel to get back to fitness & get our bodies back quickly -- especially in the military or as driven athletes
The red flags you should look for to filter out negative or toxic influences, and how to find trustworthy pre & postnatal fitness information
How to channel your drive & competitiveness in a positive direction through pregnancy & postpartum so you have a balanced approach to your goals & performance in fitness, work & motherhood
Tips for how to be part of the change you want to see for pregnant & postpartum women in your community as coaches, leaders, & professionals
