Welcome back to Sunday Sports Club Podcast, a podcast all about sports told by a woman, and that woman is me. Hi, guys. I'm your host, Allison Cooch, and today I'm joined by Haley Pepper. She is a birth and postpartum doula, wife of NFL long snapper Tabor Pepper, and mother of two. Did I miss anything?
B (0:27)
That's about it. Pretty much sums it up.
A (0:30)
And I have been. We've been social media friends for, I mean, I don't even know how long, so I feel like I know a lot about you, but I actually didn't know that you were a birth and postpartum doula.
B (0:41)
Yeah, it's. Well, I feel like I didn't talk about it for a while, and now I'm trying to talk about it a lot because it's just. It's kind of what I'm doing these days, especially. We were out of football for a year. We're kind of back into it, which I'm sure we'll talk about, but that I got to actually. Which sounds kind of, I don't know, crazy. I got to actually do my job, which I feel like is why I started talking about it more. And. Yeah, yeah, it's. It's been a weird. It's been a crazy last few years. So, again, we'll get into it.
A (1:11)
Congratulations. Because your husband just signed with the Miami Dolphins, correct?
B (1:15)
Yes, correct. It was.
A (1:16)
How are you guys feeling?
B (1:18)
I'm. That's, like a weird question. We're. I'm very excited. Very excited. It came very unexpected. I think it, like, it's free agency, so, like, literally anything can happen for, like, a little bit of a backstory. He has played for this last year would have been year 10. So he's been in it for a really long time.
A (1:36)
Insane. Insane. Like when the average in the NFL is two and a half years. That is insane.
B (1:41)
Yeah. Yeah. And I think. And I've had to remind him of that a lot in the last year because it felt really discouraging. He got cut from the 49ers, and we were at the 49ers for five years and then a whole bunch of teams before that, one of which was the Dolphins. So it's kind of. It's very cool that we get to circle back and go back. It honestly is best case scenario, which I will elaborate on. But, yeah, when he got cut from San Francisco last, it was almost a year ago, actually. It was a year ago, like, right now, in March it was just. He was like, I don't know if I'll ever play again. I don't know what this is going to look like. You know, so many. I know you can absolutely relate to this, that, you know, they want it to be their choice when they're done.
