I’m so excited that my friend Deanna Schober is on the show today! This conversation was actually the first time we “met”, but we felt connected instantly and realized we have a lot in common. I learned so much during this episode and love Deanna’s perspectives about intuitive eating, developing a growth mindset, being flexible, and how to approach nutrition & fitness after having a baby.

Deanna Schober, CPT, PN1 is the fitness professional and nutrition coach behind Fit To Be Pregnant. The site began as a way to document her first fit and healthy pregnancy after three unhealthy ones, but has since become a valued source of information for other expecting moms who seek their own fit and healthy pregnancies and want to approach the postpartum recovery in a loving, body-positive way. Deanna is passionate about teaching women to empower themselves through self-care during what can be the most vulnerable time of life: pregnancy and the first year of motherhood. She has four children and a busy career writing, coaching, and creating programs for new moms.
