In this episode we are joined by Stephanie Nychka who is an original West Coast Canadian female pro Mountain Biker, Freestyle BMX Champion, stay-at-home (sorta, when not biking :P) mom of three, certified chiropractor and all around badass human being. Stephanie's been a huge role model to so many young female athletes who look to balance the life of an athlete and a mother & wife. She gives insight into her home life, marriage, pregnancy and body image, experiences with concussions and more. For any woman needing a little inspiration, make sure to check this episode out!

It has been a vision in progress to begin a podcast and start openly speaking about the struggles, the inspiration and the bad ass moments that define who we are as humans and athletes. I am excited to begin the venture with a mini series, interviewing female athletes who have inspired me in some shape or form, and whom I hope can inspire you. Join along as we dive into real life stories and topics that make woman who they are.
