125: Professional Triathlete Lara Gruden Talks Pregnancy and Mindset and Her Plan to Return to Competition Postpartum

The Practice Brave Podcast

Today, I chat with professional triathlete Lara Gruden all about her pregnancy as an elite athlete and her plans for returning postpartum. Lara has an incredible sense of athletic maturity and has chosen the path of intention over intensity. She sees the big picture and is grateful for the opportunity of growth this pregnancy has given her and has been working hard on the mindset shift from comparing with other athlete’s pregnancies to focusing on what she is choosing to do and what is best for her.
