Laura Marsh: Rebuilding Confidence in Postpartum Military Motherhood [E12]

In this episode of Mama’s in the Moment, I’m joined by Laura Marsh, a mama of two, U.S. Air Force veteran, military spouse, physician assistant, and certified pregnancy and postpartum athleticism coach. Laura and I sit down for an honest conversation about what it really looks like to rebuild strength and confidence after becoming a mother — especially when life includes military moves, deployments, and seasons of uncertainty. She shares how her own birth injury and challenging postpartum recovery became the catalyst for creating High Flight Fitness, a space where women are supported through evidence-based strength training paired with whole-person wellness. We talk about the realities military moms face, why postpartum recovery deserves far more attention than it gets, and how reconnecting with your body can feel empowering rather than overwhelming. Laura also shares how community, patience, and sustainable training can help moms return to movement without pressure, guilt, or rushing the process. This episode is for any mom craving strength, physically, mentally, or emotionally. Here's a conversation for those navigating motherhood while holding space for their own healing and identity along the way.

Jackie Bullock, DPT: Balancing Business, Baby, and the Boundaries That Keep You Whole [#11]

Dr. Jackie Bullock is a physical therapist, business owner, and mom who knows firsthand how the lines between personal and professional life can blur — especially after having a baby. In this episode, Jackie opens up about what it’s really like to balance a self-employed business with the demands of motherhood, and how those two worlds often collide in ways that force you to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. We talk about the hard decisions that come with growth — childcare, boundaries, capacity — and how mental health and identity can get tangled in the process. Jackie also shares her insights into women’s pelvic health, explaining how something as simple as breathing can reconnect us to our deep core muscles and change the way we move and feel. This is a grounded, honest conversation about recognizing when enough is enough, finding your footing again, and learning that balance isn’t about perfection — it’s about paying attention.
