Today I have with me Antonia Henry, owner and head coach of A1 Fit Coaching and P&PA Coach, as we discuss what the research actually is saying about intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and how that translates to your lifting. We discuss common reasons you may be peeing while you lift and what can be done about it, as well as dig into more about IAP and why pressure management and core + pelvic health are important factors in your performance as an athlete.
Big thank you to Antonia for sharing her expertise!

Today, I have with me OBGYN and Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, Lamia Zafrani, who shares with us what her life currently looks like as a pregnant athlete. Lamia is an incredible resource and collaborator and is actually one of the expert interviews in the P&PA Course itself. I truly value her perspective and work in this community!
Today she shares more in-depth about what it means to be “cleared”, her own very personal experience with miscarriage and recovery from pregnancy loss, how she utilizes woop to keep data on her health (and how her woop actually helped her discover her miscarriage), and the importance of learning HOW to listen to your body during pregnancy and what to listen for. This is an eye-opening episode and a must-listen for pregnant athletes!

We’re told “just do what you’ve always done” and “just listen to your body”, but we know that this is not enough. I hope by the end of this episode you gain a better understanding of how to train during pregnancy and why we need to adjust in the first place. I dive into mindset (athlete brain), core + pelvic health considerations, and more.

A little more personal of a podcast today… with my youngest son Chance’s birthday coming up (turning 7!), it had me reflecting on the decision to have a second baby and what that looked like. I wasn’t even in a mental place to think about another baby for the first 3 years postpartum after Cade, but I knew we wanted to have a second.
I have had experiences within my own family that reaffirmed the decision to have another baby and not have Cade be an only child. I was also worried that 4 years would be too big of a gap. But in the end, it’s been perfect for our family and my experience with Chance was so drastically different than my first pregnancy and birth.
I hope you enjoy this deeper, more personal look into my life and family and hope that you know that whatever decisions you make for your family are yours and yours alone.

Today, P&PA Coach Katie joins me and shares her inspiring story of going from a hairstylist of 18 years to a full-time P&PA Coach in her very own space. It’s a story that we so commonly hear - we don’t know we need this information until we do. This was the case for Katie when she realized she developed prolapse after her first baby, leading her down the rabbit hole of pelvic health and desperately seeking answers.
Eventually, she finds the P&PA Cert and her path completely changes. She realized her passion for not only helping pregnant + postpartum athletes but also older women and created a class for 60+. She realized the principles of P&PA apply across the board for ALL athletes.
Katie also attended the P&PA Live Coaches Seminar in Boise in 2022 which gave her confidence she needed to focus on coaching more. She started with an 800 sq ft garage for a year and then ultimately ended up leaving hairstyling completely and pursuing her business full-time, now in her own independent space. So inspirational!

Let’s be honest…female athletes, and women in general, are not taught a lot about their bodies, especially as it relates to pelvic health and athletic performance. Most people don’t learn until they have to, so in an effort to provide some practical advice for female athletes across the span of their lifetime, I elaborated on a very popular Instagram post I did last week which sparked a lot of questions! This episode covers 11 kinda awkward, but very helpful things you should know and do to keep yourself healthy from the inside out!

Cade joins me again this year for another interview where it’s made super clear his love for sports and In-N-Out. But in all seriousness, Cade is a kind, supportive brother and friend who can’t wait for his future career in the NFL. They grow up fast…one day they aren’t sleeping at all and the next they, like Cade, sleep in until 10:30. If you’re in the trenches right now with little boys, hang in there. It’ll get better. Happy Birthday, Cade!

Today I have P&PA Coach Ryan K. Reynolds with me as we chat about her journey as a pro Rubgy player, firefighter, and advocate for women in sports and first responder careers. As a pioneer in the Rugby world, Ryan saw first-hand the growth of women in the sport, having had the opportunity to be on the Olympic team.
She decided to use her athletic skills and talents later in life to become a first responder and is now working as a firefighter for her local community. Her mission and hope is to be a resource for women to feel empowered to participate in the career AND still have the goals and dreams to become a mother. She is a resource for the women around her as a P&PA Coach, as well as in the Wellness and Fitness Program within her department. Ryan is an inspiration to all around her.

Today, MMA Athlete and mother, Molly Lindsay, joins me and she is out to be a game-changer in the world of martial arts. She’s passionate about advocating for women and mothers within the sport with a desire to create more support and awareness surrounding mental health struggles, sexism, and returning to the sport postpartum. I have no doubt she is going to go on to change the game!
In this episode, Molly shares with us about her experience as a female MMA fighter and the struggle it has been to find a supportive gym that does not harbor a toxic environment. She tells us of her pregnancy, beautiful home birth, and her experience with Pelvic Organ Prolapse postpartum and how she felt frustrated with the lack of support and education surrounding it. She has such a strong spirit and is an amazing example of the fact that ATHLETICISM DOES NOT END WHEN MOTHERHOOD BEGINS.

Today I chatted with Kate Lyman, owner of KL Nutrition, P&PA Coach, and new mom. Kate gave birth one year ago and experienced the unexpected at her home birth as she pushed for 9 hours straight. As a result of her baby’s position, she underwent a severe tear and later realized she had a Pelvic Organ Prolapse. She has been working hard to overcome and heal from this experience and shares with us all of the details. Her hope is education and awareness around birth trauma and pelvic health increase for pregnant and postpartum moms.

Today, I am honored to have Angela Lee Pucci join me as she shares her story of becoming a world champion MMA fighter, a first-time mom, and ultimately creating her nonprofit organization, Fightstory. Angela has always been in the combat sports world and knew that it’s what she wanted to do from an early age. She pursued it and was successful as a six-time world champ. When she became a mom in 2021, she knew that she was not done yet and returned to fighting postpartum. She retired from fighting in September 2023 to pursue the creation of Fightstory, a nonprofit organization on a mission to inspire, heal, and unite the world through the stories of fighters from all walks of life.
A note about Fightstory from Angela:
Fightstory was created from a need for change. A need for purpose. A need for hope. We all have a story to tell. These stories are like chapters in a book of which is our life. The good, the bad, the ups, the downs, the struggles, the triumphs. It is all part of the journey and it all leads you to where you're destined to be. You are the author of your own book. You control the narrative. Keep writing, the best is yet to come. At FIGHTSTORY, our goal is to gather these stories into a collection. A library, in which all stories can be acknowledged, shared and celebrated. Your story matters. Your story could save a life. Our goal is to pass on the wisdom that we've gained from each experience that we've faced and conquered. Our struggle is our strength. Life is a Fight & We Are Fighters

Today I’m joined by one of the members of the P&PA Team, Juliann Balley, as we discuss approaching the CrossFit Open as a pregnant or postpartum athlete. Juliann has participated in the Open while pregnant and postpartum through the years and shares her perspective as a recreational athlete, P&PA Coach, and CrossFit Level 1. Ultimately, it comes down to adjusting your expectations, and mindset, and honoring the season you are currently in, while also keeping core + pelvic health in mind. You can find Juliann on Instagram at @ juliann.balley.
