Postpartum Strength Journey

This is not a 6-week bounce-back story.

This is not a workout plan telling you what you should be doing.

This is the real timeline of how I rebuilt strength after having a baby — slowly, inconsistently at times, and with a lot of grace.

Over 15 months, I documented what I actually did:

• The workouts that felt hard
• The weeks I only showed up once
• The months I walked instead of lifted
• The exercises that worked (and the ones I stuck with)
• The food I actually ate
• The faith practices that kept me grounded
• The moments I felt discouraged — and the moments I finally felt strong again

I created this because when I started my postpartum journey, I was desperate for real timelines from real moms — not “snap back” posts or vague advice.

This isn’t a program to follow perfectly.

It’s a roadmap you can reference, adapt, and return to when you need reassurance that slow progress still counts.

If you’re postpartum and wondering:

• Why don’t I feel strong yet?
• Am I doing enough?
• Is this normal?

This is for you.
