Summary

Kirsten Ferguson has conquered a whole lotta hurdles in the last decade. From struggling to have children and navigating multiple miscarriages to dealing with divorce, she's learned time and time again the power of faith and resilience. For episode 189, she talks to me about how she got into fitness β€” eventually teaching Spin from home during the pandemic β€” and the beautiful way that Peloton came into her life when she needed it most. I cannot say thank you enough to her for her openness, and as she says in our chat, acknowledging that speaking out β€” specifically about miscarriage β€” will help make other women feel less alone on their journey.
