In this episode of Inclusive Movement & Nutrition Ireland, Maggie shares her personal journey from bedside nurse to inclusive gym owner, and the moments that shaped her passion for a weight-neutral, non-diet fitness space.

Through honest reflections on postnatal depression, fad dieting, and years of being disconnected from movement, Maggie shares how she learned to show up imperfectly, and how that philosophy became the foundation of Simple Strength Leixlip.

Key Highlights:

• How becoming a mother shook her identity (and sparked a mental health awakening)
• Why traditional fitness spaces can feel alienating and exclusive
• The transformational power of movement without diet culture
• What it really means to support postpartum health (without pressure to "bounce back")

Whether you’re navigating body image after motherhood, struggling with fitness perfectionism, or just trying to rebuild trust with yourself, this episode is for you.
