One year. Two kids. 35 pounds lost.
Ezra just turned one (!!), and today I’m pulling back the curtain on my 1-year postpartum weight loss journey. From healing physically and emotionally, to navigating breastfeeding, business, and mom life with two kids—this past year has been full of growth (not just the baby kind).
If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to balance life with two kiddos, run a business, keep up with breastfeeding, AND lose the baby weight—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the not-so-glam postpartum truths, from losing 35 pounds (without tracking a single macro or going on any wild diets!) to learning to trust my hunger cues, finding joy in simple movement (hello, walking desk life), and kicking “bounce back” culture to the curb once and for all.
Plus, I’m serving up allll the honesty around asking for help, setting boundaries, and forgiving myself when I just can’t do it all. (Because, uh, who actually can?!)
Whether you’re in the trenches of postpartum or just love a little peek behind the curtain, this one’s got it all—heart, mindset shifts, and that reminder you don’t have to do it perfectly to be proud of your journey.
Let me know on IG (@the.mindful.nutritionist) if you love these super real-life updates (or if you think I should have a third kid—jury’s still out, lol). And remember: you DON’T have to “bounce back”—you get to rebuild, stronger than ever.
xoxo,
Jackie
