Fiercely You Podcast

I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of Amanda's story.

In this episode, part # 2, Amanda will share how over the past few years she has struggled to fall pregnant. This has been a very long, emotional and extremely challenging journey for Amanda and her husband Aaron. Amanda shares incredibly openly about what they have been through, the process and the struggles as well as where she is at now.

Amanda has been so incredibly resilient over the past few years with so many disappointments when it comes to falling pregnant, while it seemed like so many around her were falling pregnant with ease. I think it is extremely powerful of Amanda to share about this journey so that we can all learn together and allow this topic to not be so taboo.

On this episode Fiona, Founder of Fiercely You, will be sharing one slice of her story.
During this episode she will be talk you specifically through her Gymnastics journey, sharing the highs and lows of being a gymnast for 18 years and a coach for 11 years. Fiona will discuss her reasons as to why she has stepped away from the sport and now has moved onto focusing on the mental health of young gymnasts and young people. Gymnastics plays a huge part in Fiona's story in why she has started Fiercely You.
