A lightbox sign on a white desk displays the text "CONSÜMMATE ATHLETE PODCAST." Surrounding it are a potted succulent plant, a pair of white headphones, a coffee cup on a saucer, a notebook with a pen, and a website URL "consummateathlete.com" in the corner.

Sonya Loney tells us about becoming a parent and how this changed her view on work, training, and life.

Hardest part about having a baby? ???? Time management ???? Can you believe I am not always in control of how the day goes?! ???? Part of overcoming it is continually reassessing my own expectations of what I can get done in a day. Some days go smoother than others. And the days that get out of whack? Meet myself with self-compassion and grace because all a person can do is their best. ❣️And your best one day will be different from your best on another day. I tend to get frustrated when my schedule gets altered so I am learning to be more flexible. It means being okay when my 2 hour ride is suddenly a 1 hour ride or when I have to hold Bradley during work meetings because he isn’t asleep. . Even though life can feel overwhelming at times, I would never choose to go back to the way it was. Being a mom is frickin’ awesome and seeing how this little guy changes, grows, and how our relationship deepens every day is the most precious thing! #newmom #3monthsold #athletemom #unicornsocks #postpartumjourney #breastfeedingmama #postride
