Quick Study: Elite Athlete Moms

As we celebrate during the Olympics, I am always struck by the power of elite athletes who are also navigating motherhood. In this Quick Study, I'm highlighting conversations with three incredible women who share their raw and honest experiences transitioning into motherhood while competing at the highest levels. 

Hear from Betsi Flint, a 7x AVP Champ and Olympian; Erin Huck, a mountain biker and Olympian; and Amanda Bashem, an elite ultra runner, who each redefine strength and resilience, proving that being a world-class athlete and a mom is not just possible but profoundly empowering.

Here's what you'll learn:
- Physical and emotional challenges of returning to peak performance post-pregnancy
- The transformative impact of motherhood on their careers
- How critical it is to be surrounded by support systems
