Are Smoothies or Juice Healthier?
Are Smoothies or Juice Healthier?

WATCH: 🍓 To juice or not to juice?

In my opinion... smoothies are way better. One of the many reasons is the crazy amount of fiber we lose when juicing. Fiber helps us full so we don’t reach for processed junk food. It also keeps away constipation which can mess with intra-abdominal pressure while we heal our core and flatten our tummy post baby.

My suggestion for home juices or smoothies?!!! Chuck it alllll in there so we don’t lose the fiber. Blend with frozen berries for sweetness and frozen banana or avocado for smoooooothness! And a little Greek yoghurt for protein.

I often even sneak in a little cucumber and my toddler loves it.

We also put them in the freezer and make them into popsicles.

☔️ This was a perfect rainy day activity for us too. Leave me a comment with what you like to throw in your smoothies?

Abs After Baby. Sit-Ups and Running May Do More Harm Than Good.
Abs After Baby. Sit-Ups and Running May Do More Harm Than Good.

WATCH ABS AFTER BABIES ON YOUTUBE

👙 Abs After Babies! I have the secret sauce. And it’s not 1000’s of sit-ups. And it’s not running and jumping right when you get doctor clearance for exercise. Those things can MAKE YOUR BELLY BULGE MORE and lead to bladder leakage, back pain, poor posture, low energy, and just being in an overall bad mood!!!

I want to help you RUN and JUMP again!

But we need to heal our stretched tummy muscles and pelvic floor first. Even if that's years after delivery a baby!

I want to be able to run and jump when I’m in my 70’s.

Hell.... 80’s!! Let me show you how to get the results you want that LAST!!!!!

I teach specific exercises in a specific order for new Mammas. This helps us rebuild our body safely. Brick by brick. And then get back to running and jumping for the LONG HAUL.

Birth Trauma Into Triumph - How Visualizations and Affirmations Prepared One Mamma for Baby Number Two
Birth Trauma Into Triumph - How Visualizations and Affirmations Prepared One Mamma for Baby Number Two

Here’s something to ponder…. What if a traumatic labor and anxiety filled postnatal experience with your first child made you question if you even wanted to have another child? That’s how one of my friends (and Strong Sexy Mammas participants), Jo, felt for quite a while. But after a lot of soul searching and recovering, Jo and her husband are now the proud parents of a newborn baby boy, Finn. Jo’s inspiring story is so relatable. These stages of our lives are incredible in so many ways, but I think we can all relate that they can also be HARD as hell.

Jo and I were chatting on the phone last week about her labor experience and I was so inspired. I am only a couple weeks away from delivering my second child, a baby girl. I will definitely be using some of Jo’s tips during my own labor. Be sure to watch the video above to hear about the specific affirmations and visualizations that worked for her this time around.

Jo says she feels like she was able to ‘rewrite’ in her mind what birthing babies is all about. So impressed. This birth story gives me chills.

Jo is a participant in my Strong Sexy Mammas online workouts. You may recognize her from some of our Toned in 25 classes! Can’t wait to have her back in a month or two for more training sessions that offer prenatal and postnatal modificaitons.
