Becoming a mother is one of the most beautiful experiences in the world. But let’s be honest… it’s not always easy. The sleepless nights, the constant demands, the emotional ups and downs, and the huge changes in your body… they can leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself.
You love your baby, of course. But somewhere deep down, you also miss “you.” The energetic, confident, strong version of yourself. The one who felt in control. The one who didn’t feel tired all the time.
It’s a feeling so many women go through. The changes are bigger. The recovery is slower. The doubts grow stronger.
But what if, instead of staying stuck in that phase, you took it as a sign, not to give up, but to rise?
That’s exactly what Leena Diwan Gokhale did. And her journey is a reminder that it’s never too late to start again, and become stronger than ever before.
A Mother of Two, A Fighter at Heart
Leena is a proud mom of two beautiful daughters. She always believed in staying active and living a healthy life. But after her second pregnancy, everything felt different.
Her body changed. Her energy dropped. Her confidence was low. She didn’t feel like herself anymore, and it was hard.
Many people would have given up at that point. But Leena had a fire in her heart. A quiet voice that kept saying: “I want to feel like me again.”
Turning Point With FITTR and INFS
She had been following FITTR for a while and knew there was a community of people who understood what she was going through. In 2022, she decided it was time to stop waiting and start taking action. With the support of her FITTR coach, she enrolled in the INFS Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness.
With every lesson she learned, she started making small changes in her daily routine. She ate better, not less, just smarter. She moved with purpose. She stayed consistent. And slowly, things began to shift. Her energy returned. Her focus improved. And most importantly, her mental health got better.
One day, she looked in the mirror and saw something she never imagined she’d see: her abs. It was more than just a physical change. It was a moment of realization, “I did this. I’m back.”
From Student to Coach: Paying It Forward
Today, Leena isn’t just living a strong and healthy life, she’s helping others do the same.
As a certified coach, she now guides people through their own journeys. People who are tired, confused, and looking for a way forward, just like she once was.
She reminds them that every journey is different. That every small win counts. And that self-belief is the most powerful tool they’ll ever have.
The Journey Doesn’t End Here
For Leena, this is just the beginning. She’s still learning. Still growing. Still showing up—for herself, for her family, and for those she now inspires.
Her story is proof that you don’t need a perfect body or perfect timing to start. You just need a little courage, the right support, and the willingness to keep going, one step at a time.
So if you’re a mom who’s struggling. If you’re someone who feels lost in your own body. If you’ve been putting yourself last for too long…
Take this as a sign.
You can change. You can grow. You can come back stronger. Just like Coach Leena did.
