#247 - I’m Done Chasing the Body I Had at 16

A few months ago, I was 200 pounds and VERY pregnant.

Now I'm finding my way back to fitness with a completely different body and, honestly, a different perspective.

I've cared about being active since the 7th grade. I've run 5Ks before Broadway shows, somehow ran a whole marathon without training (DO NOT recommend 😂), worked with different trainers through different seasons of my career, and then pregnancy changed what my body could do.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• Where my relationship with fitness actually started
• The ridiculous reason I started running in middle school
• That time I ran a marathon and then did TWO shows
• How pregnancy changed the way I could move
• Getting strong again postpartum
• Why I'm finally done chasing my teenage body
• Finding movement that makes YOU feel good

I'm realizing my goal doesn't have to be getting an old version of my body back.

I want to feel GOOD in the one I have now.
