164 \\ The Fourth Trimester | Weeks 1 and 2, A Survival Mode

Author: Ashley Harvey | Christian Health Coach, Nutrition Coach July 28, 2026 Duration: 7:54
In this episode, I’m sharing an honest look at my first two weeks postpartum with baby. Healing, slowing down, accepting help, and letting go of the pressure to immediately return to normal. If you’re in the fourth trimester, I hope this reminds you that rest is not laziness and survival mode can still be a faithful season.

Finding a sustainable path to health often feels like an impossible puzzle for mothers, where physical energy and spiritual peace are the first pieces to get lost. Reps & Redemption is built on the idea that these elements aren't separate challenges to juggle, but interconnected parts of a whole life. Hosted by Ashley Harvey, a Christian health and nutrition coach, this podcast moves beyond generic advice to offer honest conversations for women who want to feel strong in their bodies and grounded in their faith. You’ll hear discussions on creating time-efficient, energy-boosting workouts that fit into a packed schedule, and how biblical principles can inform a holistic approach to wellness rather than contradict it. It’s not about adding more to your to-do list, but about integrating strength training and spiritual reflection into the rhythm of your existing life. Each episode aims to provide practical, actionable strategies-from structuring a fifteen-minute home workout to re-framing fitness goals through a lens of stewardship and gratitude. Tune in for a blend of motivation and method, where building physical resilience and nurturing faith are seen as parallel, strengthening journeys. This is a space for moms seeking tangible fitness results without sacrificing their spiritual core, all within the realistic confines of a busy day.
