Reclaiming Your Health & Vitality in Motherhood with Sue McCarroll & Caitlin Hatzenbuhler

EPISODE: 68 | DATE: February 3, 2022

“It made me realize that I needed to change the way I was mothering. Even if I didn’t have help – I needed to lower my standards …initially I wanted to make everything perfect and that’s not sustainable.”

Key Takeaways

Do you tend to put yourself first? Like, before your kids and your spouse and your friends?

–

Do you feel like you’ve lost that sense of vitality and energy since becoming a mother?

–

Are you suffering from any postpartum health conditions like diastasis recti, prolapse, bladder leakage or low back pain?

–

Do you have any lingering health conditions like brain fog, anxiety or depression, gut health issues like bloating, stomach aches, skin rashes, etc.?

–

Do you realize it’s all connected? Are you ready to heal your body, mind and spirit so you can shine and truly enjoy yourself as both a woman and a mother?

–

Today’s episode will empower you to do just that. I’m joined by moms and pilates instructors, Sue McCaroll and Caitlin Hatzenbuhler to discuss the role that both nutrition and pilates have played in their own healing and empowerment journey through motherhood. Sue shares her experience developing Bell’s Palsy after the birth of her third child, and Caitlin shares her experience with an ovarian cancer diagnosis. They both also share about powerful transformations around food that transformed migraines, anxiety, joint pain and more!

–

We also touch on:

–

– How important it is to lower our perfectionistic standards as mothers

– Using food and movement to support our lives as mothers

– The lack of support for moms at every stage of motherhood, and what we can do about it.

– A holistic approach to health and wellness

– Food and its relationship not just to migraines and other ailments, but also anxiety

– Low back issues and their relationship with pelvic health

And more!

Feel empowered in motherhood, mama. It’s possible, and it’s time.
