Transformation story:
Over the course of 5 years, I have been pregnant 3 times and have had 3 c-sections. My body was unrecognizable to me. Even though it had grown three incredible humans I was disappointed in what I was left with. I still looked pregnant and I was suffering from diastasis recti. So many of the girls from Thi Bod inspired me with their own transformation stories, and I signed up for Crissy’s prep program.
