    Ally Love Built One of Peloton's Biggest Followings While Secretly Pregnant

    Cassidy and Skylar sit down with Peloton instructor, Brooklyn Nets host, Love Squad founder, and new mom Ally Love for one of the most honest conversations she's had about the journey to motherhood. Ally opens up about the pregnancy she kept entirely private while teaching millions of riders every day. Not as a publicity move, but as an act of protection. After a long and unexpected road to starting her family, she wasn't ready to hand that moment over to the world. She wanted other women to see that you don't have to. That you can handle it on your own terms. She also goes deep on what nobody warned her about, the internal work it took to keep showing up, and what it actually feels like to come out the other side. This conversation covers: Why Ally never publicly announced her pregnancy, what that decision cost her emotionally, and why she'd make the same choice again. The first trimester work meeting that blindsided her and left her unable to recognize herself, and how it took months to climb back from. What it means to suffer in silence while performing confidence in front of millions of people every single day. Coming back postpartum in a sports bra in front of millions, and the self-talk that got her through it. Why identifying your support system before the baby arrives and actually telling those people what you need is the single most important thing you can do as a new mom. Her barbecue pineapple pizza obsession, and the laugh hack that stops her son's crying immediately. Part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.
