What is it really like going from zero to two babies overnight? In this episode of The Push Podcast, I sit down with a Canadian creator, twin mom, and founder of Active Girls TO, Kristen, to talk about the unfiltered reality of twin pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.

She shares her experience navigating a mono-di twin pregnancy, the challenges of a higher-risk journey, and what no one tells you about delivering and caring for two newborns at once. We also get into the mental load of motherhood, identity shifts, and the pressure to “bounce back”—especially in the fitness space.

We unpack how social media shapes expectations versus what motherhood actually looks like behind the scenes, and what it’s really like balancing a business while raising twins. This is an honest, relatable conversation for anyone navigating motherhood, postpartum, or the transition into becoming a mom.
