Episode Synopsis
Episode 44 – Better After Baby – I Am Self-ish PodcastWelcome back to the I AM SELF-ISH™ Podcast—your space to explore the connection between mindset, emotion, and personal growth. I’m your host, Will Wright, certified life coach and stress management expert, here to help you redefine what it means to put yourself first.Each week, I sit down with thought leaders, change-makers, and everyday people doing extraordinary inner work. Together, we explore the real stories, lessons, and energy shifts that move us from fear and obligation to passion and choice.In this episode, I’m joined by Tori Whitaker, founder of Better After Baby and a motherhood identity coach helping moms rediscover their strength, confidence, and sense of self at every phase postpartum. Together, we explore how motherhood transforms every aspect of life—and how rediscovery doesn’t mean losing yourself, but coming home to who you are now.Tori shares her journey from collegiate gymnast and top-performing Equinox trainer to single mom and entrepreneur, blending her real-life experience with proven fitness, mindset, and nutrition strategies. The conversation highlights the power of community, the importance of self-care, and how redefining what “better” means after having children opens the door to true empowerment.Will and Tori also unpack the mindset shifts that help mothers move beyond survival mode, the myth of “balance,” and how boundaries and vulnerability can deepen connection both at home and within ourselves. Together, they reframe motherhood as an evolution—not a limitation—and remind listeners that self-care is not selfish, it’s essential.Tori shares her philosophy of AND, not OR, teaching moms they don’t have to choose between motherhood and personal fulfillment. Her approach focuses on building customized systems that fit each woman’s unique life and goals—because motherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all. With honesty and heart, she encourages every mother to embrace abundance, authenticity, and the belief that they can truly be better after baby.Memorable insights:“Failure is not an option—the simple but profound line that got me through the rebuild, one day at a time.”“Stick to the plan, not your mood. Habit formation is simple, not easy—but your mood will keep you stagnant.”“You don’t have to choose between being a mom and being yourself. You can be both. Abundance over here.”Connect with Tori WhitakerFitness, Nutrition & Mindset Coach | CEO, Better After Baby📧 [email protected]📲 203-610-7885🌐 bebetterafterbaby.com📸 Instagram: @torikwhit💼 Facebook & LinkedIn: Tori WhitakerBetter After Baby, Not Instead of Being a Mom.”Produced and Edited by Will WrightHost | Certified Life Coach & Stress Management CoachCreator of the I AM SELF-ISH™ Method📱 646-645-1509📧 [email protected]🌐 iamself-ish.com💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/selfish-will📸 Instagram: @selfish.willLess stress, more choice.
