About this episode
In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, I sit down with Shannon — a lifelong athlete, mom of twins, and working professional — to talk about what it really takes to rebuild trust in your body after motherhood, injury, and pain.
After a major knee injury, recurring back pain, and being told by her doctor never to squat again due to arthritis, Shannon could have given up on her athletic goals. Instead, she chose a different path — one rooted in education, movement, and trust.
Together, we unpack her journey from pain and fear to confidence and performance. Shannon shares how she reconnected with her athletic identity postpartum, navigated recovery after a C-section and multiple injuries, and learned to train smart — not scared.
If you’re a mom navigating chronic pain, rebuilding strength after birth, or trying to find your way back to the athlete you once were, this episode will remind you that healing is possible — and that movement is medicine.
