Ok Ok.... after reading that 'Episode Title' you're probably thinking "what the hell are you talking about Nikki?!". Well, in my experience as a "Fit Mom", the pregnancy and postpartum journey isn't always Sunshine, Rainbows & "Bouncing Back". I'm here to tell you that there are parts of Motherhood you might love and there are others you might hate. Despite what you see on Social Media, other "Fit Moms" struggle, cry, have a love/hate with themselves and their bodies and the journey is a lot harder than they have anticipated (or portrayed) physically, mentally, emotionally. This episode reveals the inspiration behind starting the Fit Moms Podcast and it is for those of you who want a zero f*cks real talk approach to motherhood. This episode touches on my own personal journey through pregnancy, postpartum, fitness & business. And what you get to look forward to in episodes to come.Thank you Rachel Nicole Brown for interviewing me for my 1st Episode!!Episode Highlights:2:02 - Inspiration behind podcast4:54 - Body Change / Body Awareness during training7:23 - Testing the boundaries postpartum10:30 - Expectation for Recovery & what to Focus on13:18 - Body Dysmorphia18:00 - Hate during pregnancy23:14 - Pressure to "Bounce Back"27:17 - How my fitness journey started33:40 - How I got my first Sponsor38:10 - My training now with The Empowered Mama45:40 - Entrepreneurship50:35 - Postpartum Advice
