Episode 446: How Meghan Built a Hybrid Pre & Postnatal Fitness Business with PFSA

In today's episode, Jessie sits down with Megan Barrett of Barrett Fitness in Syracuse, NY to talk about her journey from general personal training into perinatal coaching, and how PFSA training opened her eyes to a whole new way of working with clients. They dig into the gaps in standard trainer certifications, why non-fear-based education matters so much in this space, and how to approach body image and validation with pregnancy and postpartum clients. Megan also shares how perimenopause can show up in symptoms and training.
