About this episode
If you’ve been told your pain is “normal,” that you should just “stop squatting,” or that it’s all part of “mom life” or “getting older,” this episode is going to challenge everything you’ve been told.
In today’s episode of The Athlete Mom Project, I’m sharing why the traditional medical system fails so many of us — especially moms and athletes — when it comes to pain, movement, and performance. Doctors are trained to treat symptoms, not solve root causes. And if you’ve been bouncing from one appointment to another without real answers, you already know how frustrating that is.
I’ll share my story of being told at 18 that I’d never be an athlete again, being told I’d struggle to have kids, and how I proved them wrong. Today, I’m not only an athlete mom, but I help other moms reclaim their strength, rebuild capacity, and finally get out of pain.
Inside this episode you’ll learn:
Why pain is not normal — and what it actually signals.
Ways to transform how you address pain and limitations.
How to understand load vs. capacity and why that’s the missing link in your training.
Why my approach is different — and why it works when quick fixes and prescriptions don’t.
If you’re tired of treating symptoms and you’re ready to finally restore your body’s capacity, this episode will show you the path forward.
