The girl on the left didn’t need to change her body.
She needed to change how she treated it. How she spoke to it. How she saw it.🙏🏼

She didn’t need to be smaller. She needed to stop punishing herself with exercise, stop restricting and bingeing, stop letting her inner voice tear her apart.

She needed more kindness. More nourishment. More love.
That’s what the girl on the right finally discovered. And it was a whole new kind of freedom.

But it took me years to chip away at this. Years to find the balance. There was no quick transformation.

I’d show up. Then I’d quit. Show up. Quit. Over and over. I wore “showing up” like a badge of honor, but the truth is, sometimes showing up was just me white-knuckling the same toxic patterns, forcing habits that never served me because they worked one time in the most unhealthy way. I wasn’t growing. I was yo-yoing.

I always quit before because my foundation was rooted in self-punishment and dislike for my body. But when I shifted my focus to how exercise made me feel, everything changed.

I learned to love what the gym gave me. The feeling of pushing myself. Moving my body in badass ways. The sweat, the hard work. Or sometimes just the tender, loving care of mobility. That’s why it became a lifestyle, not a phase. I hold onto how it makes me feel.

Because the process is where we grow. Where we build habits. Where we learn to sit in the uncomfortable, because there is no finish line.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. There is no “perfect time.” You just have to start.

That’s what the Reclaim Challenge is about. Reclaiming how you view yourself. How you see movement. Your time, your athleticism, your strength. Or maybe you just want to feel like a badass.

Reclaiming whatever you feel like you’ve sacrificed over the years and rewriting it to serve you. 🙏🏼

We start March 2nd. Are you in? Comment reclaim or link in bio

Some of you have been here from the beginning when I was posting to 100 followers 🥹 and for that, there are no words for how thankful I am.

For the new faces who’ve joined us (hello and welcome!), at the risk of being a broken record, I realized I haven’t shared my story in what feels like forever so here’s a 2 min recap.

So welcome! I’m so honored you’re here. Whether you’ve witnessed every part of this journey or just turned the page to this chapter, I’m Hannah and I simply share my life. I love fitness but my life is more than just working out!

I’ve been able to learn, connect and grow over the years from listening and hearing so many of your stories and perspectives on life! This community has become a place where we celebrate wins, work through struggles, and remind each other that we’re never alone in our journeys.

So whether you’re here for the workouts, the mom life chaos, or the unfiltered reality of healing and growth, thank you for being part of this space. Your presence here matters, and I can’t wait to continue sharing and learning together.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming! 😭🙏🏼 To see baby girl and me on the cover of Women’s Health magazine is beyond anything I ever imagined.

I never, in a million years, thought this would be my reality—especially when there are so many incredible people in this world doing amazing things. But this moment is a beautiful reminder of the power of being authentically yourself and having genuine intentions for others. Even when you think you’re not making a difference, you are.

So, share your story. You never know who’s listening. 👊🏼

When I started this page, my goal was simple: to empower others by sharing my journey openly and honestly. I wanted women to understand that it’s possible to build a healthy relationship with exercise and food—mentally and physically—and to encourage everyone to find their own unique balance. My mission has always been to show that fitness and health don’t have to be extreme or unattainable. It’s about creating a sustainable, realistic approach that fits your life—chaos and all.

There’s no diet culture here. No punishment. Just real expectations and celebrating what your body is capable of. This journey has been my lifeline through dark times, and if it can help even one person feel less alone or more empowered, then it’s all worth it.

I also wouldn’t be here without all of you, so thank you.🫶🏻

A huge thank you to the incredible team at @womenshealthmag and all the amazing individuals who made this experience unforgettable!

I’m truly honored to be named a “Force of Fitness” alongside 4 other amazing women—and the workouts we curated just for you! Be sure to check them out via the link in my bio.

We’re often told as we age to avoid the explosive stuff. That “gentler” is safer for joints. After kids, we hear it even louder, or we avoid it ourselves out of fear of leaking/prolapse or making symptoms worse.

But here’s what gets left out: power declines earlier and faster than strength. About 3 to 4% per year faster. So the thing we’re told to skip is the thing we’re losing fastest.

And reactivity is what catches you when you trip. What helps you sprint after your toddler in a parking lot or your soccer league you joined last minute.

Done correctly, plyos aren’t reckless. They’re protective.

Why power based work matters:

➡️ Builds bone density (huge during lactation, perimenopause, and menopause when bone loss speeds up)
➡️ Trains/strengthens a pelvic floor to respond reflexively under impact
➡ Builds tendons and joints that are resilient

👏🏼👏🏼The progression matters just like any kind of training:

➡️ Start gentle: bodyweight drop catches, work deep into bodyweight movements, ankle bounces, mini hops
➡️ Build to reactive: weighted jumps, broad jumps, bounding, sprints

Your body is built for variety. Slow, fast, strong, powerful and reactive. All of it.

If you want to integrate this kind of training into your workouts, that provides progressions that meets you where you are, my ENOUGH program has everything you need to start. Link in bioor comment “plyometrics” to incorporate this training 🧡

➡️ Builds bone density (huge during lactation, perimenopause, and menopause when bone loss speeds up)
➡️ Trains/strengthens a pelvic floor to respond reflexively under impact
➡ Builds tendons and joints that are resilient

👏🏼👏🏼The progression matters just like any kind of training:

➡️ Start gentle: bodyweight drop catches, work deep into bodyweight movements, ankle bounces, mini hops
➡️ Build to reactive: weighted jumps, broad jumps, bounding, sprints

Your body is built for variety. Slow, fast, strong, powerful and reactive. All of it.

If you want to integrate this kind of training into your workouts, that provides progressions that meets you where you are, my ENOUGH program has everything you need to start. Link in bioor comment “plyometrics” to incorporate this training 🧡

We’re often told as we age to avoid the explosive stuff. That “gentler” is safer for joints. After kids, we hear it even louder, or we avoid it ourselves out of fear of leaking/prolapse or making symptoms worse.

But here’s what gets left out: power declines earlier and faster than strength. About 3 to 4% per year faster. So the thing we’re told to skip is the thing we’re losing fastest.

And reactivity is what catches you when you trip. What helps you sprint after your toddler in a parking lot or your soccer league you joined last minute.

I’m not anti-Kegel and I’m not pro-Kegel.🤗

There’s a time and place for them. (I have a post on it) But I do think there’s too much obsession around Kegels being the answer especially when it’s taught as “stop the flow of pee”😩

Your pelvic floor doesn’t work alone. It’s part of a deep core system that involves your whole body, not just your core muscles. When one part of that system can’t coordinate well, the rest struggles. But we can use the team to help you connect to your pelvic floor without forcing it.

That’s why I love the moves in this reel:

→ Pelvic tilts with a ball move your pelvis through full range and wake up the lower abdominals, which have a synergistic relationship with your pelvic floor

→ Ball squeezes between your knees engage your adductors, which connect directly to your pelvic floor

→ Oblique work links your rib cage and pelvic floor through the deep core (they’re all on the same team)

→ Standing hip shifts matter because if your pelvis can’t move freely, your pelvic floor often ends up restricted or holding tension

If you want to actually understand how your deep core works as a system, not just a list of random exercises, comment CONNECT and I’ll send you the link to my program. 🥰

A move that wears many hats. It may look easy but man does it pack a punch 👏🏼 🔥

If you train with me you are well acquainted with this exercise! When you’re short on time, this is the kind of move that pulls its weight.

If you crank on your hip flexors doing stretches without relief this is why.

A lot of the time they’re tight because they’re weak. So stretching alone won’t get you very far. You need length AND strength.

Here’s what’s happening:

→ Back thigh pressing down into the bench, heel driving toward the glutes. Active stretch on the back hip flexor.

→ Hamstring fires on the back leg to keep the pelvis stable

→ Front knee drives toward the chest. Active hip flexion and strength through full range on the front side.

→ The plank position keeps the deep core working the whole time.

→ Breathe into the posterior rib cage while you hold and you’ll get back body expansion. Most people never train that.

One move. Mobility, strength, pelvic stability, and a full core canister working together.

Asymmetric work is one of the most underrated tools out there. Most people skip it and stick to bilateral lifts, but the carryover into how you actually move through life is huge.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I struggled with postpartum depression for almost 3.5 years. If you’re new here and currently going through it, I hope this gives you some hope.

Healing was painfully slow. 1 step forward. 5 steps back. Just when I’d almost reach the shoreline, another wave would crash down and drag me back under.

I felt like something was wrong with me because I wasn’t “postpartum” anymore. I should be “better” by now.

I firmly believed my children deserved a better mother.

My darkest days had both. Rage where I would blow out of nowhere, and intrusive thoughts of harming my children intentionally. It was riddled in shame. Coming out of those thoughts or outbursts was debilitating.

But, hear me now sweet mama:

You are not your thoughts. You are not your rage.

But your rage doesn’t get to win. You have to find a way (or fight for it) to heal. You deserve that

The mantra that stuck with me when I felt undeserving of my family:

“The fact you care, that you want to change and heal, means you’re a good mama.”

I’m still working on forgiving myself. This 3rd postpartum journey has been incredibly healing, but if I snap or lose my cool, a wave of fear still washes over me that I’m slipping back.

If you’re in it right now, finding the right help is its own kind of fight.

Keep swinging until something connects.It can feel defeating to keep trying. But it’s one step closer to finding what DOES work.

Therapy is a luxury not everyone has.🙏🏼 Free resources are on the last slide.

You don’t have to suffer through this alone. 💛

You’ve been trying to 360 breathe and still can’t feel it. 😩There can be real barriers in the way. They’re called mechanical restrictions.

Comment ENOUGH and I’ll send you a program that integrates all of this.

Your posture, your alignment, the way you sit at a desk, the way you carry tension every day. All of it shapes how your ribcage sits in your body.

A few things can be standing in the way:

→ Your ribcage shape can be more narrow or wide
→ Tight or weak intercostals
→ Gripped lats and serratus anterior
→ Overactive rectus abdominis
→ Restricted fascia
→ Tense or restricted diaphragm

These dictate whether your ribs can actually move when you breathe.

So you can cue 360 breathing all day. But if your ribcage is compressed and tense, your ribs have nowhere to go.

The drills release that compression first. Then the breath has somewhere to land. Your ribs can move. Your diaphragm can drop. Your deep core can do its job.

That’s the foundation for everything we train in the ENOUGH challenge. Deep core function. Pelvic floor coordination. Nervous system regulation.

All of it starts with a ribcage that can actually move. While getting strong AF!

Comment ENOUGH to learn how to rebuild this from the inside out.🥰

#postpartum #diastasisrecti #breathing

You’ve heard the cue a hundred times. But most of us were never taught what it actually means.😵‍💫

Comment “Connect” and I’ll send you everything you need to learn this.

Here’s the simplest way to think about it:

Your core is a pressure system. Like a soda can. Four walls working together:

• Diaphragm on top
• Pelvic floor on the bottom
• Deep abdominals wrapping the front and sides
• Multifidi running along your back

When that system is coordinated, your core can engage better.

The easiest place to start? Your breath.

•Inhale and let your ribs expand 360°. Like an umbrella opening inside your ribs.

•Exhale through pursed lips (or into a balloon) and notice everything gently draw in.

Not pushing OUT like you’re bracing for a punch.🤜🏽

Not sucking IN like you’re hiding your stomach.👀

That exhale? That’s your core engaging naturally.

All the cues you’ve heard (zip up a corset, roll a pin up your stomach, pull your tummy from your jeans) are just different visuals for that same exhale. Same system. Different visuals.

So if you’ve been wondering “what does it mean to engage my core?” your breath is the place to start. 🫁

Want to actually understand how your core works and train it with intention?

That’s exactly what we cover inside the ENOUGH program. Link in bio 🩷

If there’s one thing I’ve seen time and time again, it’s people writing off breath as too simple to create change.😩

So they skip it. Go straight to the planks, dead bugs, and Kegels.

But breath is the foundation. It’s what every piece of real core work builds on.

And when your diaphragm doesn’t move, your pelvic floor isn’t moving either. They are a connected system. And when they aren’t communicating, there’s a kink at the very foundation.

• Connection becomes difficult.
• Engagement becomes difficult.
• Pressure distribution becomes difficult.

And then you’re bringing all of that disconnection into every exercise you do. Every lift. It’s often why you’re not seeing the change for all your hard work.

Because no amount of planks or Kegels can fix a rib cage that doesn’t move.

It’s not because you’re not doing enough.

It’s because the foundation of your deep core work is disconnected.

If your body has felt like it’s been working against you, this is where I’d start.

Inside the ENOUGH program, you’ll hear from real pelvic floor therapists across 50+ education modules.

Breath, pressure distribution, alignment, and how it all connects while getting strong AF.

If there’s one thing I’ve seen time and time again, it’s people writing off breath as too simple to create change.😩

So they skip it. Go straight to the planks, dead bugs, and Kegels.

But breath is the foundation. It’s what every piece of real core work builds on.

And when your diaphragm doesn’t move, your pelvic floor isn’t moving either. They are a connected system. And when they aren’t communicating, there’s a kink at the very foundation.

• Connection becomes difficult.
• Engagement becomes difficult.
• Pressure distribution becomes difficult.

And then you’re bringing all of that disconnection into every exercise you do. Every lift. It’s often why you’re not seeing the change for all your hard work.

Because no amount of planks or Kegels can fix a rib cage that doesn’t move.

It’s not because you’re not doing enough.

It’s because the foundation of your deep core work is disconnected.

If your body has felt like it’s been working against you, this is where I’d start.

The list of things I was told I’d lose after becoming a mom: my body, my sleep, my time, my strength, my identity. 😐

Postpartum was really, really hard. In some ways they were right.

But somewhere out there is a future you who finally feels herself again. Stronger than you ever knew was possible, more resilient, more proud of herself than ever before.

You ARE capable of hard things. Your body made a whole human, and that is the most ridiculously cool thing you can do.

Different is not a downgrade. We can still be strong. Still capable. Still resilient. More of a badass than we ever knew was possible.

And the most beautiful part is we get to show our children exactly that. We get to plant the seed of just how amazing our bodies really are. 👏🏼

You are not a race. Every little deposit adds up. So just wait. 😉

You are going to come back so much stronger 💪

If you’re ready to feel like her, the ENOUGH challenge was built for this exact rebuild .

Comment ENOUGH and I’ll send you everything inside.

That bulge or cone you see when you plank or crunch? It’s not a problem. It’s information.🤌🏻

It’s your body telling you how it’s handling pressure in your abdomen. Once you understand what’s causing it, you can shift how you train.

If you’re dealing with diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, or hernias, this is worth paying closer attention to. Symptoms like prolapse, leaking, or painful sex are often tied to how pressure is being distributed over time. Learning to distribute pressure well is key to minimizing these issues.

4 common reasons doming shows up:

➡️ Your deep core isn’t fully online.
Your diaphragm, pelvic floor, transverse abdominis, and multifidi work as a team. When one isn’t pulling its weight, pressure travels to the weakest point and pushes out.

➡️ Your alignment is off.
Your diaphragm and pelvic floor work best stacked over each other. When your ribs flare or your pelvis tucks, they can’t coordinate well.

➡️ Your outer core is running the show.
When your six pack and obliques dominate, you’ll see the bread loaf or V shape. More crunches won’t fix it. Teaching your deep core to fire first will.

➡️ You have connective tissue changes.

Diastasis recti or tissue changes from pregnancy, significant weight gain, or weight loss create thinner spots where pressure naturally travels. Progressive overload with good form is how you build strength through it. 💪

If you’ve worked through all of these and you’re still doming, the exercise is too much for your core right now. Regressing the movement isn’t a step back. It’s a fast track to strength.
Doming isn’t failure. It’s feedback.
