After nearly a year away from the podcast, I'm back with a deeply personal update on life, work, and the lessons I've learned since becoming a mom. From a pregnancy that was "uncomplicated" on paper but incredibly challenging in reality, to navigating anxiety, finding the right therapeutic support, and spending a year unplugged to focus on my son—this episode is an honest look at a season of massive change.
I also share why I'm excited to get back to work, how this year has reshaped my perspective, and what you can expect from the podcast moving forward (spoiler: pregnancy and postpartum will be one topic among many, alongside strength training, recovery, and science-backed strategies to stay fit for life).
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Picking up from my last pregnancy training update
Why I had to strip my life back to the essentials
The physical and mental realities of my pregnancy
How anxiety showed up and what getting help looked like in Iceland
What it's like when everything changes—but also stays the same
Why I unplugged from social media for almost a year
Stepping back into work and finding a new sense of purpose
Reassurance for long-time listeners on the mix of future topics
