In part one of this juicy two-part series, Monica dives deep into why your body holds onto energetic weight even when you’re doing all the right things—especially as a mother. Whether you’re currently pregnant, want to become a mother one day, or you’ve had babies 20+ years ago… I promise there’s something in this for you!

Here's what she covers: ✨ Why she never “lost her pink” and how to ensure you don’t either ✨ An important mindset change that can change everything when losing weight ✨ Why affirmations never work if your body isn’t also on board ✨ What chronic stress does to your progesterone, thyroid, immune system, and water retention ✨ Why she’s unapologetic about wanting to fit back into her clothes and feel sexy in a bikini again post-baby ✨ What the hardest mental part of this whole year postpartum was for her ✨ The at-home nutrient panel she ran to check her levels postpartum ✨ Why her gut health has been better post-baby than it was before ✨ Her postpartum ab rehab and walking routines
