134. How to Create A Realistic Postpartum Workout Plan with Kat Bright

Send us Fan Mail

The internet loves a simple rule: “Wait 6–8 weeks, then get back to working out.”
But real postpartum life isn’t that simple.

In this episode, Chelsea sits down with Kat Bright, a perinatal trainer (and athlete for life), to talk about returning to movement in the first year postpartum—without the bounce-back pressure, guilt, or all-or-nothing mindset.

Kat shares why postpartum fitness shouldn’t be about shrinking or “undoing” birth. It’s about rebuilding strength on your terms: more resilience, more vitality, and a body that feels like home again.

You’ll hear:

• Why chasing your pre-baby body can keep you stuck
• What consistency actually looks like with babies and toddlers
• Why unfinished workouts still count (even just putting your workout clothes on)
• How to start when you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin
• What to do when time and childcare feel like the biggest barrier
• The “another baby vs. best shape of my life” conversation — and why it’s not either/or
• Practical movement ideas when time and childcare are limited—especially in winter
