<p>We had to restart this conversation four times - because André cried, then Zerlina cried, then the light blew, and then André wanted Daddy.</p><p><br /><strong>This is motherhood. And this is what it looks like to rebuild strength anyway.</strong></p><p>In this episode, I sit down with Rene - eight months postpartum and stronger than she was before having a baby. We talk about what it really takes to return to training after birth (spoiler: it’s not bounce back culture), how grief shaped her motivation, why bodyweight strength hits different after pregnancy, and what progress actually looks like when you’re still breastfeeding and sleep deprived.</p><p>We also get into:</p><ul><li><p>Why dips are harder when you’re tall (and how she still nailed them)</p></li><li><p>How smart programming trumps “just doing more”</p></li><li><p>What strength means now—as a mother, an athlete, and a woman</p></li><li><p>The invisible mental gains that came from holding a handstand... and holding a baby</p></li></ul><p>This isn’t a story about perfect routines. It’s about making it work - with less time, more purpose, and a system built for women.</p><p>Whether you're three months or three years postpartum, you’ll take something from this one.</p>
