The Di-scussions Podcast

In the last episode of our two-part series on pregnancy and postpartum training, host Di sits down with Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism founder Brianna Battles to unpack the unfiltered realities of training whilst pregnant or after having a baby. Brianna has guided thousands of women and coaches through the complexities of training during and after pregnancy. But this episode goes deeper than just fitness. Whether you're an athlete, a mom, a coach or someone who’s just trying to understand their body better, this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew and leave you feeling stronger, smarter and more seen.
