Ep 60: Addiction, Denial, and Fixing Irregular Periods to Finally get Pregnant


Listen Later

Shannon is a retired Division One soccer player who struggled with her identity outside of being an athlete. After college, she turned to weightlifting and became a certified personal trainer, which made it easy to mask her health and exercise obsession. Shannon got married, quit working, and now travels around the country with her husband, who is a professional baseball player. She had always dreamed of being a mom, and with the help of Lindsey, her husband and she will be welcoming their baby girl later this year in September!
