In this Episode

In this reflective episode, Aly steps away from the anatomy deep-dives and guest features to offer a personal look at her first full year postpartum. She takes listeners through the physical, emotional, and energetic shifts that defined her return to movement. Aly shares five lessons she discovered on the road from recovering from an unplanned C-section and adapting to the new demands and rhythms of life as the mother of an infant. She touches on topics like internal healing, the cultural pressure to “bounce back,” redefining movement expectations, and the deep necessity of rest. Aly paints a relatable picture of what it really looks like to recover, recalibrate, and reconnect with yourself in a new season of life.
