In this episode, Charlotte is joined by Rachelle Doss, a clinical nutritionist, personal trainer and host of the Healthy Not Hungry podcast. She shares her personal journey through pregnancy, postpartum, and the ever-evolving identity of motherhood. From being caught off guard by the physical and emotional shifts of early motherhood to redefining health, fitness, and self-worth, Rachelle opens up about the messy, beautiful, and transformative parts of this season.
She speaks candidly about the mental health challenges she faced, the power of establishing routines, and how nourishing the body became her foundation for healing. With a background in fitness, Rachelle now approaches wellness with a gentler, more sustainable mindset—and she offers practical tips for nutrition, meal prep, and safe training during pregnancy and postpartum.
This episode is a reminder that every mother’s journey is unique—and that prioritizing your well-being isn’t selfish; it’s essential.
