Just four months postpartum, Kelsey Hartland joins us from Wisconsin to share her birth story. As the owner of The Lofty Life aerial studio, Kelsey navigated relentless morning sickness through 20 weeks of pregnancy before learning she had a low-lying placenta. During labor, she experienced a non-consensual episiotomy moments before her baby was born—an event that profoundly shaped her birth experience. In this candid conversation, Kelsey reflects on the challenges of pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum, and the importance of informed consent in maternity care.

Elisabeth shares the highs and lows of her pregnancy journey, from debilitating morning sickness to discovering painful fibroid tumors at the end of her second trimester. She opens up about navigating an anterior placenta, managing high blood pressure, and making the difficult decision to potentially switch doctors to find the right care. Elisabeth learned her baby was breech, leading to a planned C-section. But during delivery, unexpected complications—including a very short umbilical cord—turned the birth into an emergency.

Fresh into the fourth trimester with her baby happily nursing, Taylar Meyer joins us from the Houston area to share the full story of her birth experience. She takes us through her 12-hour labor, the surprisingly fast transition from 4 to 10 centimeters, and a powerful 20-minute pushing phase that brought her baby into the world.

 

Beyond birth, our conversation explores the different seasons of life as aerialists—times of creating, seasons of building, and the moments when we're called to pause, recover, and embrace change. It's an honest conversation about motherhood, movement, and finding rhythm through life's transitions.

Bridget joins us from Michigan to share her birth story. Aside from some stubborn acid reflux, she had a smooth pregnancy and was able to train until 39 weeks. After laboring to 9.5 cm, her progress stalled, and within a matter of hours, she had to adjust to the unexpected reality of an unplanned C-section. We talk about navigating that mental shift, processing a birth that didn't go as planned, and finding strength in a different path to motherhood.

If you're freshly postpartum, healed from delivery, but not yet cleared to return to your regular workouts, this episode is for you. Drawing from the experts and specialists we've featured on the podcast, I share one of the most important tools for early postpartum recovery: diaphragmatic breathing.

We'll cover how to use your breath to gently re-engage your pelvic floor, reconnect your brain to your abdominal muscles, and begin rebuilding strength without jumping into intense exercise too soon. You'll also learn how small, intentional movements can help restore coordination between your core and pelvic floor as your body heals.

Whether you're weeks or months postpartum, this simple practice can lay the foundation for a stronger recovery and a safer return to movement.
