I sat down with Skye Munch for a second time—now as a mom to 14-month-old Lois—to talk about how motherhood has completely reshaped her identity, priorities, and relationship with triathlon. We get into the realities no one prepares you for: ongoing sleep deprivation, the emotional weight of childcare decisions, and why chasing peace mattered more than chasing fitness or results this past year.

Skye opens up about sponsorship pressure, social media identity shifts, and what it was really like making it back to Kona as a new mom. Selfishly, I asked a lot of questions as my wife Ashley and I prepare to welcome our daughter Noelle—covering practical advice for new parents, what actually helps postpartum, and why the internet often makes things harder, not easier.
