Moms of Triathlon
Pro triathlete and cyclist Amy Henderson, stay at home mom and amateur triathlete Aly Wilson, and working mom and amateur triathlete Jen Gottschalk get together every week to discuss what's been going on in their lives as moms and athletes. Each episode has a main topic covering everything from training during pregnancy (and postpartum) to learning how to navigate the world of sport and parenthood. Join them every Friday for some truly honest conversation about the challenges they have (and are) facing as parents to young children who are also trying to maintain successful athletic careers.

Not the first time, and not the last time, we talk about mental health
This week we revisit the topic of mental health and our own personal journeys and experiences. Amy gives an update from Episode 39 when she had recently started taking anti-anxiety medication. Aly shares her own struggles with anxiety and how she has addressed them by starting therapy and medication. Jen talks about her feelings of depression this past year and discusses the possible tie to her recent diagnosis of hypothyroidism. The three talk about the difficulties in finding a therapist and what the process of therapy has been like for them. And they emphasize the importance of sharing these experiences openly.
