What you're about to listen to is something a little different.

This is not a traditional episode — it's an edited recording of an actual one-on-one coaching check-in with my client, Sarah Sturm, a professional athlete who recently found out she was pregnant.

After getting the news, Sarah approached me with an idea: she wanted to document her experience navigating pregnancy as a competitive athlete in real time, and she wanted to share it. So over five sessions, we hit record.

With Sarah's full approval and participation, we've taken those check-ins and edited them down into a 5 part series of ~20-minute mini episodes so you can follow along with her journey as it actually unfolded — unscripted and unfiltered.

In episode 3 we cover:

  • How to determine personalized daily water or fluid intake, especially for pregnant athletes
  • Impact of exercise and environmental factors on hydration needs
  • Understanding ferritin and hemoglobin levels during pregnancy and their significance
  • Managing micronutrient supplementation, including prenatals, iron, choline, and biotin
  • Effects of pregnancy on food preferences and aversions
  • The importance of women supporting women
  • Practical tips for balancing hydration, nutrition, and exercise during pregnancy

Please note: some portions of the original recordings have been removed for time or privacy. What you're hearing is a curated but authentic look at what real coaching support looks like during one of the most significant transitions an athlete can go through.

Thank you to Sarah for her openness and trust in sharing this with our community. 🤍
