Emily Skye isn't your typical fitness influencer.

The personal trainer and mum-of-two not only shares her tips and workouts with her 2.5 million followers, but she's also extremely candid with them - from posting about her unexpected home birth (yep, that happened) to the reality of "bouncing back" to her pre-baby body.

In an Instagram post in March, Emily explained how unlike other celebrities and fitness experts, she didn't "snap back" from either of her pregnancies.

And at one point, that made her feel like an imposter.

Emily toldMamamiathe feeling crept in after the birth of her now three-year-old daughter, Mia.

"After my daughter, my first baby, I felt like an absolute imposter because when I looked at social media and other fitness trainers and influencers, a lot of them snapped back really fast," Emily said.

"There's nothing wrong with that because everyone's different, but I just felt like I had spent basically my whole life being fit and then I had a baby... and I couldn't get back in shape very quickly.

"I didn't look like I was fit, and people [seem to] have this whole thing [that] if someone doesn't look fit, they don't believe anything they say.

"So I did feel like that for a period of time during both the postnatal periods," she said.

In June 2020, Emily welcomed her second child, Izaac, during an unexpected home birth.

As she toldMamamia, she hasn't "snapped back" from that pregnancy either. In fact, this time it's been harder.

"It's been almost a year and I'm still not where I was before. Not that it's my goal, but it's taken me a lot longer," she said. "That's the reality for a lot of people - you don't just snap back."

The difference is that this time, she doesn't feel the need to.

"I think I had more pressure the first time around," Emily said. "I felt like I had to be fit-looking for people to take me seriously and be credible... I felt that I needed to be that.

"This time I was a lot better. I've done it before and I learned so much about myself. I've evolved, I've grown to love myself more, accept myself more. Especially after having two babies."

She's also been kinder to herself, post-baby number two.

"I've been a lot easier on myself," she said.

"This time, instead of looking at what I wasn't and how far I had to go, I really practiced gratitude for what I had, and what my body was doing.

"Rather than looking at how my body looked, I'd appreciated how it functions and what it does for my babies," she added.
