Hey girl, listen up! You know Jen Affleck from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and her MomTok fame? Well, she’s taking the dance world by storm now, competing on Dancing With the Stars just two months postpartum! We had to get the scoop on how this busy mama is handling it all.
First things first: ballroom dancing ain’t no joke, girl! Jen admits that her body is taking a beating with blisters on her feet and bruises all over from those hip-swivels and airborne leaps. But don’t worry, she’s got a lifetime of staying active (even during pregnancy) to thank for her physical resilience.
Now, let’s talk postpartum life. Jen’s pelvic floor is surprisingly strong thanks to her active lifestyle throughout her pregnancies—she was an avid yogi and walker! The only downside? The lack of sleep. With a newborn at home, catching those full seven hours of zzz’s has been tough. Luckily, the DWTS physical therapists are wrapping her up in tape, cold packs, and encouraging ice baths to help her recover.
Mentally, Jen’s thriving! Dancing has always been her go-to for coping with mental struggles, and being on DWTS is no exception. Even though she’s competing against fellow MomTok star Whitney Leavitt, there’s no bad blood between them. In fact, they’re both focusing on their love for dancing!
💫 Whether it’s a dance party in the kitchen or a neighborhood stroll, every bit helps.
So, what can we learn from Jen? First off, finding ways to stay active during pregnancy is key. Whether it’s a dance party in the kitchen or a neighborhood stroll, every bit helps! Second, give yourself grace—being a mom is hard and you’re doing amazing!
Tune in tonight, September 30, to see Jen on episode three. She promises a hospital gown-clad performance inspired by her latest viral video! Don’t forget to cheer her on, girl! And tell us: what’s your favorite way to stay active postpartum? Let’s support each other on this mommy journey! 💖💖💖
