This episode is one of the most impactful ones I have ever recorded. In this episode, we talked to three time Olympic gold medalist Folukea Akinradewo and her pelvic floor physical therapist (and my amazing colleague), Melia Perrizo.
We talked about her training during pregnancy, how our collaboration worked to help guide her process, being a new mom and training for the Olympics during Covid, and how she navigated a significant diastasis and still made the USA Olympic Volleyball team as a starter.
The story needs to be told, and we are so happy to debut it here.
