The Expecting Aerialist
by Digitent Podcasts
The Expecting Aerialist at the intersection of the aerial athlete’s lifestyle and motherhood. I share the stories of women from all over the world about their prenatal and postpartum journeys touching on topics such as pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti & C-section recovery and postpartum mental health. Some guests are everyday women turned badass hobbyists and others are professionals currently performing for Cirque du Soleil.I ask the key questions - How did they get back to what they love to do? How do they view their athletic body now that it has undergone birth? How was the emotional and mental transition to motherhood and how has it changed the way they see themselves? How do outsiders perceive athletic pregnant women? What is their routine and how can we learn from them?
