Pro Kayaker and Mother Emily Jackson
After a few weeks of talking about hormones and running, I’m finally bringing a different sport to the podcast. Kayaking but it's not kayaking in quiet waters…we are talking about freestyle kayaking, and so today I’m hoping to learn a lot more about what freestyle kayaking is all about with our special guest Emily Jackson and how she managed to race nine months pregnant and to win the race at the same time. She is a well-known whitewater athlete and currently the Women's World Freestyle Champion. She has multiple World Freestyle Kayak Championships, a collection of freestyle kayak medals, and extreme kayak racing podium finishes. She’s a TedTalker, a wife, a sister, a daughter and a mother. Today she goes down memory lane and shares with us her motherhood journey and the decisions that sometimes don't have to be the "by the book" best option journey.If you would like to connect with Emily on IG click hereThank you for listening!Lana xSupport the show
