In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Katya (@gorbachevae) - a powerhouse vegan athlete, competitive powerlifter, and soon-to-be mom. Katya shares how she’s navigating her training and nutrition throughout pregnancy, what she’s most excited about for her baby’s arrival, and how she’s handling the unique challenges (and misconceptions) that come with being an athlete, being vegan, and being pregnant. From adapting workouts to fueling for both performance and a healthy pregnancy, Katya opens up about what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what she’s learned along the way.

Whether you’re an athlete, a vegan, a parent, or just someone curious about breaking stereotypes, this conversation will leave you inspired and informed.
