That moment turned into a bigger question:</p><p>How can I help other moms feel this too?</p><p>What started as mommy and me Pilates grew into stroller walks, mom workouts, and a community that went from 3 moms to 30 moms, then to 90 moms signed up for a Mother’s Day walk in the rain.</p><p>But this conversation is about more than fitness.</p><p>Brooke opens up about postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, the nervous system shock of new motherhood, and the quiet pressure moms feel to figure everything out while still holding everything together.
