What happens when a woman who knows how to push her body to the limit… enters a season where control disappears?

In this episode, I’m joined by Alex, a runner, coach, HYROX competitor, and mom, whose life sits at the intersection of discipline, chaos, and freedom.

With 39 half marathons, 9 full marathons, and now a growing love for HYROX, Alex knows what it means to be strong. But her journey into trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum revealed a different kind of strength, one that so many women are forced to figure out on their own.

We talk about:

Why even highly disciplined athletes can feel lost in their bodies during the PP season

The massive gap in education and support for women navigating fertility and postpartum

Redefining strength beyond performance metrics

Staying grounded in movement through demanding seasons of life

This conversation is for every woman who has ever felt confused, isolated, or unsupported in her body… especially when she’s used to being “in control.”

Because strength isn’t just physical. It’s awareness, education, and the courage to keep showing up.
