Just four months postpartum, Kelsey Hartland joins us from Wisconsin to share her birth story. As the owner of The Lofty Life aerial studio, Kelsey navigated relentless morning sickness through 20 weeks of pregnancy before learning she had a low-lying placenta. During labor, she experienced a non-consensual episiotomy moments before her baby was born—an event that profoundly shaped her birth experience. In this candid conversation, Kelsey reflects on the challenges of pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum, and the importance of informed consent in maternity care.

The Expecting Aerialist at the intersection of the aerial athlete’s lifestyle and motherhood. I share the stories of women from all over the world about their prenatal and postpartum journeys touching on topics such as pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti & C-section recovery and postpartum mental health. Some guests are everyday women turned badass hobbyists and others are professionals currently performing for Cirque du Soleil.

I ask the key questions - How did they get back to what they love to do? How do they view their athletic body now that it has undergone birth? How was the emotional and mental transition to motherhood and how has it changed the way they see themselves? How do outsiders perceive athletic pregnant women? What is their routine and how can we learn from them?
