267: You Don’t Have to “Bounce Back” After Motherhood with Amanda Lim
Description
Motherhood changes you in ways no one fully explains. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and even in the way you relate to yourself. One minute you’re stepping into a completely new chapter of life, and the next you’re trying to understand who you are now, what your body needs, and how to move through this season with more strength and self-trust.
In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Lim — Harvard-trained health coach, perinatal strength expert, and director of Lift Clinic. Her work blends strength science, women’s health, and behavior change to help women navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond with more awareness, resilience, and trust in their bodies.
We talk about what really happens to your body during motherhood, the beliefs we’ve been taught about it, and how motherhood didn't break your body...it changed your relationship with it.
