We are joined by Madeline Custer, the fitness expert and mom of three behind Madeline Moves. If you've ever felt lost after a C-section, overwhelmed by your postpartum body, or like you just don't have time to work out, this one's for you.


Madeline opens up about her journey through miscarriage, three C-sections, and an unexpected third pregnancy — and how each experience shaped her mission to create accessible fitness resources for moms.


We dig into why strength training beats cardio for long-term results, how 30 minutes can be enough (really), and what actually gives when you're a mom prioritizing her health.


We also get into her easy high-protein meal hacks for the moms who hate cooking, her upcoming Move Together 5-week challenge, and the mindset shift that changed everything: normal is sacred.

Whether you're a working mom, stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in between — this conversation will leave you feeling motivated, seen, and ready to pick up some weights.
