13 Jan Welcoming the New Year with Strength and Hope
Hey there! The new year is finally here—a time for fresh starts, new vibes, and endless possibilities. Whether you’re feeling excited about what’s ahead or a little overwhelmed by life’s curveballs, we’re here to remind you: you’ve got this. And you’re not alone.
Sometimes life throws us a surprise we didn’t plan for—like pregnancy. It might feel like the world’s spinning out of control, but trust us, you are way stronger than you think. Need proof? Let’s talk about a couple of amazing women who didn’t let anything stop them—not even pregnancy.
Lindsay Flach: Competing for Two
Picture this: you’re an athlete at the top of your game, and life suddenly hands you a plot twist—pregnancy. What do you do? If you’re Lindsay Flach, you crush it anyway.
Lindsay competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials while 18 weeks pregnant. Yep, you read that right. With all eyes on her, she showed the world that pregnancy doesn’t mean giving up—it means showing up, even stronger. Her story is proof that even when life changes in a big way, you can still chase your dreams.
Kaleo Kanahele Maclay: Going for Gold
Now let’s talk about Kaleo Kanahele Maclay. Not only was she pregnant, but she was also playing sitting volleyball at the Paralympics. Oh, and she didn’t just show up—she brought home a gold medal.
Kaleo’s story is all about doing the impossible (while growing a human at the same time). She shows us that no matter how tough things seem, you can rise to the occasion—and even come out on top.
Why This Matters for You
