Redefining Postpartum Fitness with Allyson Siegel

Description

What if the key to postpartum fitness isn't about getting your "pre-baby body back"—but about building a stronger, more functional body that can handle real life?

Allyson Siegel, pre and postnatal fitness specialist, joins Shannon to break down why the old "shrink yourself" mentality doesn't work for moms—and what actually does. From pelvic floor health to the magic of eating more while lifting heavy, this conversation challenges everything you think you know about postpartum wellness.

You'll hear:

Strong not skinny: Why muscle is what creates that "toned" look everyone wants—and how to rewire your brain to eat more of the right things
The pelvic floor reality: Why peeing when you jump is common but not normal, and how proper breathing protects your core
Small changes, big results: Why starting with water intake beats trying to overhaul everything at once
The "bulky" myth busted: Why women don't have enough hormones to look like bodybuilders—and why it takes 20 years of work to build serious muscle
Something beats nothing: How 20-minute workouts twice a week will get you results if you're currently doing zero
Meeting yourself where you are: Why your fitness needs to fit your life stage, not the other way around
Rewiring mom guilt: How celebrating small wins creates lasting change and models healthy habits for your kids
