Hi! My name is Angelica, and I’m from Dallas, Texas. I am a veterinary technician but currently working as the front desk receptionist while I recover postpartum. I am three weeks postpartum now with a first time, baby girl. I used to do CrossFit for three years and Pole Dance Fitness. I had a Community before motherhood with my Pole fit studio and Crossfit gym in San Diego, California. We have recently moved to Texas and now I’m hoping to establish new relationships in my community. I would love to get back to a toned body with a good weight range. I am excited to start this journey. I joined Built Different Mamas because I’m looking for a community of like-minded women, advice for being a first time parent, and how to recover postpartum while going back to work full-time, pumping and working out. Looking forward to it!

You’re here because you’re built different and I can’t wait to learn why! I’m Ryan—Olympian, firefighter/paramedic, and mom. I created this space for women who refuse to lose their strength, identity, or standards in motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, trying to get pregnant, postpartum, years into mom life, or just curious—you belong here. This community is about training with purpose, supporting each other, and navigating real life together—sleep deprivation, feeding schedules, long shifts, and all. Inside the BDM Skool, you’ll find: • Four Strength and Conditioning Programs available: – 30-Week Strength Through Pregnancy – 6-Week Early Postpartum Core Restore – 10-Week Return to Duty (Tactical Mom S&C) – 10-Week Postpartum S&C • Weekly check-ins for accountability + support • Optional 1:1 coaching with me • A community of Women & Mamas from all stages of motherhood here to support you, bond with you, laugh with you, cry with you, listen to you, and meet you where you’re at—braless with a cold cup of coffee in hand! • A space to share policies, SOPs, what works, what doesn’t—a place to empower each other to be the change our departments and agencies need for women and mothers. This is a space to connect. Ask questions about motherhood, breastfeeding, pumping, training, work, or just life. Share wins, struggles, workouts, or meet up with local mamas for coffee, workouts, or playdates. You’re not stepping away from who you were—you’re building forward. Drop an intro below 👇 Who you are, where you’re from, and what season of motherhood you’re in.

Weekly win! Royce was needing to be by me all day today, and needed to be kept entertained. Almost didn’t workout, proud of myself to make it happen and keep our girl smiling 🩷

I bought a jogging stroller and oh my goodness running with no arms is hard 🫪 the sound on my video is awful because I’m desperately blasting music—but my face says it all. Alsoooooo THE most real part of this video is the high impact sports bra OVER the nursing/pumping bra 😂

This is the CA senate bill for postpartum leave. This bill would give qualifying FF up to 26 weeks of paid maternity leave! It’s passed assembly unanimously and is now headed to the governors desk for final approval (or veto, but let’s not manifest that energy) I made a template for an email to the governor if you want to help out the pressure on him! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yfdsx4YeNcMeJPjjYnHvErKlE7yG8Dh2aPer4gnptvk/template/preview
