Hey, I’m Jena - a physical therapist, wife and mama of four. After each of my pregnancies I, too, struggled with losing my postpartum pooch, low energy levels and didn’t know how to regain my strength back. As a fitness lover, I craved working out like I did before having all those babies, but found that my body just wasn’t cut out for high-intensity workouts.

    185 // When Less Is More: Honoring Your Capacity in Motherhood and Fitness
    Jun 9 2025

    Feeling stretched too thin trying to do all the things, mama? Ever wonder if slowing down could actually move you forward? In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing why choosing less might be the healthiest, strongest, and most faith-filled decision you can make in this season.

    We’ll talk about honoring your capacity as a mom, what it means to pause with purpose, and how stepping back doesn’t mean giving up—it means showing up better for what matters most. Whether you're in a season of healing, transition, or simply feeling pulled in too many directions, this is your permission slip to breathe, reset, and remember your why.

    Ready to feel peace in the pause? Listen now. Keep Smiling,

    Jena

    Ever feel like no one prepared you for how depleted you’d feel after having a baby?

    You’re not alone, mama. In this episode, I’m sitting down with postpartum nutrition expert Maranda Bower, and we’re getting real about what’s actually missing from postpartum care—and why so many moms feel completely drained, foggy, and off for months after giving birth.

    We chat about the gaps in traditional postpartum care, how proper nutrition impacts your energy and emotional health, and simple ways to start feeling like you again—even while caring for a newborn. If you’ve been wondering why you’re still so tired and struggling to do all the things, this conversation with Maranda is a must-listen.

    May 26 2025

    Struggling to feel confident in a swimsuit this summer, mama? You’re not alone—and no, the solution isn’t just losing the baby weight.

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing the mindset shift that completely changed how I showed up for myself (and in my swimsuit). We’re ditching the comparison game and learning how to choose consistency over “perfect” and grace over guilt. If you’re feeling stuck, self-conscious, or just exhausted trying to feel like you again… this one’s for you.

    You’ll walk away with 3 super realistic, doable tips to start building confidence in your body today—even if you're still wearing nursing bras, haven’t worked out in weeks, and barely slept last night.

    It’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines and start showing up for you—the strong, beautiful mom you already are.
