Eat less while breastfeeding. Do more cardio. Wait until you're "cleared" at six weeks. If the scale isn't moving, nothing's working. Momma, these myths are everywhere — and most of them are wrong. In this episode, Val busts five of the most common postpartum weight loss myths, including a real story about a client who nearly followed a TikTok fasting-and-cardio protocol that would have tanked her energy and milk supply.

In this episode:

• A client's TikTok wake-up call — and what Val had her do instead
• Myth: you have to eat less to lose weight while breastfeeding
• Myth: cardio is the best way to lose the baby weight
• Myth: you can't start until you're "cleared" at six weeks
• Myth: if the scale isn't moving, nothing's working
• Myth: you have to figure postpartum weight loss out alone
• Plus two extra myths Val is sick of hearing and what to do instead
• One simple mindset shift to try this week
