About this listen

 In this inspiring episode of Mum’s the Word, former World Cup ski racer and two-time Olympian Kaylin Richardson joins the show to share her powerful and deeply personal journey of transitioning from elite sport to motherhood. Known for her fearless approach to ski racing, Kaylin opens up about learning to slow down, redefining identity, and finding new strength in the early chapters of parenthood. Listeners will hear how Kaylin’s competitive mindset shaped her expectations around pregnancy and postpartum recovery — and how motherhood taught her to embrace flexibility, patience, and self-compassion. From managing sleep deprivation to rediscovering her athleticism, Kaylin offers honest reflections and empowering lessons for any mum balancing ambition, adventure, and family life. Host [Your Host's Name] explores how sport shapes resilience, how motherhood reshapes priorities, and why female athletes like Kaylin continue breaking barriers both on and off the slopes. Whether you’re a skier, an athlete-mum, or simply someone who loves uplifting stories of grit and growth, this conversation delivers warmth, insight, and plenty of real-talk.
