151: Kate Lyman Opens Up About How She Had Navigated Birth Trauma and Birth Injury as a Fitness Professional

Today I chatted with Kate Lyman, owner of KL Nutrition, P&PA Coach, and new mom. Kate gave birth one year ago and experienced the unexpected at her home birth as she pushed for 9 hours straight. As a result of her baby's position, she underwent a severe tear and later realized she had a Pelvic Organ Prolapse. She has been working hard to overcome and heal from this experience and shares with us all of the details. Her hope is education and awareness around birth trauma and pelvic health increase for pregnant and postpartum moms.
