An appreciation post for this incredible body of mine 🤍

If you had told me a year ago that I’d love being pregnant this much, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.

As an athlete, my body has always been measured by what it could do- how fast I could row or run, how much I could lift, I strong I could become. Pregnancy has completely changed that perspective.

For the first time, performance isn’t measured by medals, personal bests, or training sessions. It’s measured by creating life.

This season has taught me to slow down, listen more closely, and trust my body in ways I never had before. Every day brings something new to learn. Some days are incredibly uncomfortable but never once did I hate my body because it’s learning, it’s adapting, it’s changing and the discomforts are necessary for growth to happen.

So here’s to this body- for carrying me through my Olympic dreams, and now carrying something even greater.
