Ep. 16. Fit4Mom: Empowering Prenatal and Postpartum Fitness While Nursing with Ciera Greene

Fit mom? Check. Entrepreneur? Check? Toddler nursing mom with a 3rd on the way? Check!

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation on this week's episode of Weaning It with Ciera Greene. Ciera is the owner of Fit4Mom South Orange County, a mom of 2 with one on the way, and a fellow toddler nursing mom.

Ciera's breastfeeding journey (like for many) was different for her two kids. While her first weaned around 6 months, her daughter continued beyond the 2 year mark. 

I also asked her to share her experience with finding her postpartum community through Fit4Mom, a nationwide business with women owned franchises throughout the country. 

Fit4Mom was always something I wanted to do, but I personally struggled a lot with navigating naps and nursing, and neither of my kids slept well in a stroller. I give Ciera and her fellow fitness leaders so much credit for not just getting to classes, but then continuing on to support new moms by becoming fitness leaders, and in her case, the owner of our local franchise!

I just love her enthusiasm and how she shares about how she navigated Covid, a baby who didn't take a bottle, and a sweet toddler who still loved the boob.

Quote of the episode

"I think my favorite part is definitely the bond and the little smile she has at me. She looks up at me and it's like, 'Oh, I just want to hug you forever.'"
