For the first time, I'm sharing my journey into motherhood.

I start by opening up about what pregnancy was really like for me—both mentally and physically. From navigating the identity shift, to staying active, to the highs, the challenges, and everything in between, I wanted to share the experience as honestly as I could.

Then my husband, Jeremy, joins me as we tell our birth story together. We take you through the final days of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and what it was like meeting Vivian for the very first time. We also share the moments we haven't talked about publicly, what surprised us most, and how becoming parents has already changed us.

This is our most personal episode yet, and we're so excited to share it with you.

Post Run High

Post Run High is a podcast about honest conversations that happen when people slow down and let their guard drop.

Hosted by Kate Mackz, the show brings together founders, creators, athletes, artists, and thinkers to talk about performance, identity, pressure, and the moments that shape who we become. Recorded after a run, walk, or shared movement, these conversations tap into the clarity that often comes when the body is tired and the mind is open.

This isn’t a show about success on paper. It’s about what people carry behind the scenes — how they cope with doubt, navigate change, stay disciplined, and keep going when things get hard. Post Run High is a space for reflection, perspective, and real insight you can take into your own life.
