Summary
In this interview episode, I'm sitting down with Rachel Fernandez — mom of three and nervous system expert — to talk about why so many moms experience burnout and emotional dysregulation, and what's actually happening in your body postpartum. We cover how pregnancy depletes critical minerals that affect your nervous system, why pushing through intense workouts can backfire when you're already running on empty, and the surprisingly simple foundations that can start shifting everything. Plus, how strength training builds more than muscle — it rebuilds the self-trust that overwhelmed, burnt out moms need to build their capacity to thrive in life.
