EP71 - Back in the Office — A Year That Changed Everything

After nearly a year away from the podcast, I’m back with a deeply personal update on life, work, and the lessons I’ve learned since becoming a mom. From a pregnancy that was “uncomplicated” on paper but incredibly challenging in reality, to navigating anxiety, finding the right therapeutic support, and spending a year unplugged to focus on my son—this episode is an honest look at a season of massive change.

I also share why I’m excited to get back to work, how this year has reshaped my perspective, and what you can expect from the podcast moving forward (spoiler: pregnancy and postpartum will be one topic among many, alongside strength training, recovery, and science-backed strategies to stay fit for life).

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Picking up from my last pregnancy training update

• Why I had to strip my life back to the essentials

• The physical and mental realities of my pregnancy

• How anxiety showed up and what getting help looked like in Iceland

• What it’s like when everything changes—but also stays the same

• Why I unplugged from social media for almost a year

• Stepping back into work and finding a new sense of purpose

• Reassurance for long-time listeners on the mix of future topics
