Mama Project Podcast | Faith, Family, Fitness

In this episode, I talk all about my personal experience with POP with Katelyn Darkangelo.

If you are suffering with POP or any other postpartum complication, please don't hesitate to ask for help! You can and WILL return to doing all the things you love, it just takes time, patience and a willingness to never give up even when symptoms appear again out of nowhere!


Thanks for listening! Please share with a fellow mom friend and leave a review!

Is it still safe to race while you're pregnant? How soon after having a baby should you sign up for your next race?

In this episode, I interview fellow P&PA coach Katie Makris, owner of Pursuit Endurance! Six years ago, Katie struggled to find trustworthy information on how to keep swimming, biking, and running through pregnancy and postpartum. Now she created the programs that many women follow and trust to keep them going to the finish line!

If you are a triathlete/runner and curious how you can keep racing safely while you are pregnant or eager to get back in action postpartum, this podcast is for you!

You can find Katie on Instagram @_pursuit_endurance! Hope you enjoy the show!

Dr. Carrie Pagliano is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist in the Washington DC area and has dedicated her profession to working with pregnant and postpartum athletes.

In this episode, we discuss the dos and don't of running during pregnancy and postpartum and the messy grey area in between. If you are an avid or even recreational runner, you do not want to miss this episode!

Are you a mom raising a daughter? Then this episode is for you! I talk all about the paradigm shift that I see happening today - exercise as a means to lose weight vs increase strength, demonizing food vs seeing food as fuel!

Moms are the nucleus of the entire family unit. When we begin to change the narrative at home, we become a better, healthier society overall!

Katelyn Darkangelo is a fellow Pregnancy & Postpartum coach, owner of FIGR gym in Michigan and girl mom! In this episode, we talk about all things postpartum including what to do and not do the first 6 weeks, how your 6-week checkup doesn't mean you should jump back into your pre-pregnancy workouts, and when you'll actually feel "normal" again.

If you are pregnant or postpartum and eager to get back to feeling more like yourself in the gym again, you need to listen to this episode! We keep it real! No sugar coating here and as two athletes we give real expectations on what postpartum is actually like! Hope you listen and enjoy!
