Your Core Isn't Gone.
It's Disconnected.
Let's Fix That.
The Core Comeback Challenge — 4 Weeks to Feeling Strong Again
If your core still feels weak, disconnected, or just off — you're not alone. Whether you're postpartum, pregnant, or just ready to rebuild your foundation, this 4-week challenge will help you reconnect from the inside out, build real strength, and feel confident in your body again. No crunches. No guessing. Just a progressive plan that actually works.
The Core Comeback Challenge is a 4-week core program for busy moms launching July 10. Waitlist members get early bird access at $67 — 48 hours before it opens to everyone else at $97.
This 4-week challenge will help you:
Reconnect with your deep core and pelvic floor — from the inside out
Learn the breathing and bracing techniques that make every movement safer and stronger
Stop leaking, reduce back pain, and feel confident in your body again
Progress at YOUR pace — through three phases built around how your body responds
Build real full body strength with core at the center of every movement
Feel strong, capable, and like yourself again
Here's what you get:
4 weeks of progressive full body workouts — built around your core
3 sessions per week — about 20 minutes each
Breathing and bracing cues built into every single movement
Three phases of progression — your body leads, the program follows
Upper body, lower body, and full body movements — core is the anchor of it all
Delivered through Playbook — easy to access on your phone, anytime
Your core still feels weak, disconnected, or "off" after having a baby
This challenge is for you if:
You're dealing with leaking, diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, or back pain
You went back to working out too fast and your body is paying for it
You want a done-for-you progressive plan that actually makes sense
You're 6 weeks to 3+ years postpartum — it is never too late
You're pregnant in your first or second trimester — with awareness of breathing and pressure management

It's free, it walks you through exactly where to begin, and it'll tell you everything you need to know before jumping into the challenge. 🎧
Pregnant or in your second trimester?
Some movements — like V-ups — may need to be modified as your belly grows. Swap for heel slides or dead bugs if you notice any coning or doming. Your body will always tell you. Listen to it.
I'm a board-certified sports dietitian, functional medicine practitioner, and certified strength coach (MS, RD, CSSD, CPT) — and I'm also a BirthFit certified coach and pregnancy and postpartum athleticism coach.
I built this challenge because I kept seeing the same thing: moms jumping back into workouts, skipping the foundation, and wondering why nothing was working. Or moms too afraid to move at all.
The answer is not more crunches. It's not rest forever either. It's a progressive, intentional approach that starts from the inside out — and that's exactly what the Core Comeback Challenge is.
