Pregnancy Isn’t a Pause - It’s a Remix
/Before I got pregnant, I worried that this season would put everything on hold.
My body.
My creativity.
My movement practice.
My identity.
I thought: Will I still feel like me?
The answer turned out to be yes - but in a way I didn’t expect.
Pregnancy didn’t press pause. It just changed the rhythm.
Some movements slowed down. Some got softer.
Some disappeared entirely.
But I didn’t stop moving. I just started moving differently.
I stopped chasing the fire and started honouring the spark.
I swapped performance for presence.
I traded structure for instinct.
And instead of feeling like I was “losing” the old version of myself…
I realised I was expanding.
Pregnancy isn’t a full stop, it’s a remix.
It’s a new version of an old song. One that still carries my voice.
Just with a different tempo, new lyrics, and maybe a few unexpected harmonies.
This season has reminded me that I can adapt without losing who I am.
That softness and strength can live side by side.
That letting go of certain things doesn’t mean letting go of me.
So if you're in a season of change - pregnancy, recovery, burnout, identity shifts - this is your reminder:
you don’t have to go back to who you were.
You can remix your way forward.
