Today I speak with Lauren Sok, physical therapist and fearless leader of Functionize Health.Finding energy in helping others and joy in watching them succeed, Lauren embraces childish enthusiasm and overt optimism in the face of entrepreneurship. Despite doubts and challenges, Lauren braved starting a cash-based physical therapy practice at a time when private-pay was a novel concept in the healthcare industry.Ultimately, she is dedicated to disrupting the current approach to healthcare for one that focuses on humans as a whole as opposed to the sum of symptoms. Lauren lives in with her husband, Kevin, teenage twin boys, Ethan and Austin, and spunky daughter, Sienna. When she is not running between sporting events, networking socials, supper clubs, carpooling, and school volunteering, Lauren enjoys traveling, running, a lazy day on the beach, OrangeTheory Fitness, and exploring the food and events in Atlanta, GA.We talk about:-lack of information for moms returning to running-being a twin mom-consistency and fitting it in-crosstraining for runners-looking forward to peri-menopause &menopause-asking the questions-running the Grand Canyon-6AM phone callsTime Stamps1:00 introduction5:40 running after becoming a mom10:55 staying consistent with multiple children 15:20 bridging the gap22:19 things she would have changed28:39 fears of the future33:25 seeing herself as an active  mom37:35 postpartum then and now CONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH LAURENWebsite: https://www.functionizehealth.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/functionizehealth/The Active Mom Postpartum Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to Postpartum for active moms & the postpartum professionals who help them in their journey.  This show has been a long time in the making!   You can expect conversation with moms and postpartum professionals from all aspects of the industry.   If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!  If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 start rating and review.
