Q+A Day | Training Goals in Pregnancy, Sleep vs. Workouts, Hormones & Fat Loss

In this Q&A episode, we’re diving into the real-life questions that come up when life, goals, and physiology all collide. From navigating pregnancy training goals to understanding when your fat loss plateau might be hormonal—or just habit-driven—we’re giving you straight answers and practical advice you can use right now.

‍

We cover:
✔️ How to adjust your mindset and training goals during pregnancy to stay strong and supported, not stressed
✔️ When to choose sleep over a workout—and how to make the call without guilt
✔️ How to tell the difference between hormone issues and inconsistent habits when progress stalls
✔️ What to eat post-workout for better recovery, energy, and results (with real food examples!)

Whether you’re in a season of change, frustration, or just looking to optimize your routine, this episode will help you move forward with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
