Birth mantras will not take you very far if you are also not focussing on ongoing mindset shifts during pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a beautiful miracle and we are very privileged to be able to birth a human being into this world. But at the same time , it's hard, it's extremely hard!
Its so easy to dwell on discomforts we are feeling especially when they pop up day after day. You are deep down in pain , overwhelm, anxiety and find yourself in a constant survival mode and it's easy to fall into the victim mentality.

Small , trust me very small mindset changes during my pregnancy this time( 2nd pregnancy with a toddler in tow) has helped me manage my physical and emotional state.

It's as simple as stopping yourself when a negative thought arises or you find yourself going into patterns that dont serve you, just STOP yourself and "FLIP THE SCRIPT" .
It's incredibly powerful.
My challenge to you today is to put a positive spin on your struggle today and see how your mind , body and thus your circumstances respond to that shift.

Comment below to share your experiences and it can help fellow moms navigate their struggles better.

No! You dont need to start lifting weights and running on day 5 postpartum. That is a secondary task and needs professional evaluation and guidance.
So What can you do?
As soon as you are feeling upto it and are settled in with the new baby at home, it is ok to start doing >Gentle breathing exercises.
>Diaphragmatic breathing and activation.
>Connecting with your core and pelvic floor.
>Small walks around the block.

Waiting 6-12 weeks to start doing exercises is a multi layered advice and has been used as a blanket statement for everyone. Let's be real , unless there is a grave problem, you are not waiting 6 weeks to lift your newborn , to bend over into the bassinet to place and lift the baby , to lift the car seat, to walk in and around your home. Daily life activities do not wait.
Simply giving it a rest is counterintuitive. Ample resting combined with 15 minutes of intentional movement and breathing based exercises gives you the best chance at success.
Moreover, having some routine that involves physical activity and doing something for yourself has shown to reduce rates of postpartum mental health issues.

ASK QUESTIONS to your healthcare provider.
NO Question is a silly Question.
Put yourself first in the medical healthcare system.
Ask to be sent to OR go to a pelvic floor specialist after birth. (A minor knee surgery gets at least 6 weeks of physio rehab, you had your whole body wrecked to birth your baby)

I’m thankful for the opportunity to be a speaker at Triangle Area Telugu Association of NC alongside respectable Dr Samraj Gaddam of Kites international

I believe when you empower a mother you make this world a better place.
I’m on a mission to empower women and mothers through knowledge, mindset changes and opportunities to make themselves a priority.

Many believe giving birth to a child wrecks your body for life and moms are always overburdened and overwhelmed. But it’s possible to feel strong in your bodies and empowered in your mindset after your first, second, third babies and truly enjoy your littles with a strong resilient body as well as mind 💪🏼😌

Mamas there’s no reason you should keep playing safe and sit on the sidelines coz of fear.
It’s been years that you have given birth or it has been months, whichever stage you are in and still experiencing the ab separation, the mommy’s pooch or doming. Just know that you’re not alone. More women have experienced this than you can imagine. 68% of postpartum women experience Diastasis of re**us abdominus(DRA). Ignoring the DRA simply worsens it and can lead to instability in your core which can lead to back, hip and pelvic floor problems.

Message me or comment below if you’d like to finally take things in your hands and get on with your healing journey.

Special Program for new moms and seasoned moms!
Spoiler Alert:::::: Postpartum is forever!

I believe moms support their entire family day and night, need the time and care to fill their own cups and put on their oxygen masks first. They need help in getting stronger to be able to hold, feed, play with her new baby and at the same time continue to love on their older kids without being afraid of the pain, weakness, leaking etc.

Contact me if you need this or share with someone who can benefit from this!

Ask me how can you GIFT a session/bundle to your beloved superwoman.

We want to loose excess body fat, become lean, fit into smaller clothes!
But we are always wary of going to the gym, starting an exercise program, starting a diet program and doing the work.
I don’t have proper workout clothes to go to the gym, I feel shy in the gym, I don’t have the supplement to start my diet program, my children won’t let me go to the gym, my work hours are too long to be able to exercise, I don’t have accountability partner to exercise with, I’m too tired to exercise right now. We’ve all had number of different excuses. And most of them are valid.
BUT BUT
REMEMBER..
There will never be a perfect day for you to be ready
No one is coming to pull you out if your bed.
1st of the month, 1st of the year is a great day to start, but that is 20 days away.
You don’t have to start with an expensive gym and start dead lifting on day 1.
You just have to DECIDE to get up and MOVE.
15 minute walk, 15 minute yoga, 15 minute dance, 15 minute stretching, moving , working.
Start today and make these 👆🏻small habits stick.
15 minutes of movement is better than nothing!! At the end of the week, you got 2 hours worth of exercise! 🤯
Small habits= sustainable growth.
