More Female Strength

Quiana Welch joins us for a raw, honest conversation about her training and experiences through pregnancy, birth, and beginning her postpartum journey. Quiana is a high-level multi-sport strength athlete, who holds an American record in the snatch, and has competed in Crossfit, GRID, and even womens football. We talk about expectations versus reality, training strategies, racism in healthcare, and being okay getting angry! Quiana gives us the rundown on all the resources that helped her throughout her pregnancy, so all you mamas and mamas-to-be, listen and take notes!   Links: Instagram: Quiana Welch Instagram: Badass Motherbirther Instagram: Empowered Birth Project   Coaching and Programming: Brianna Battles: Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism   Documentary: The Business of Being Born    We discussed the unfortunate death of Kira Johnson during childbirth, the daughter of Judge Hatchett. This is what has grown from that situation, and we’re sorry for getting the name incorrect in the episode!  4Kira4Moms w
