Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

You know, I don't know the full story, but essentially Nike wasn't in support in some ways because you become a new mom or they weren't.

Yeah.

What was the whole situation that happened there that led you to saying, I need to do something for women with my own vision of this brand that you have?

Yeah. So in track and field for as long as I can remember, there has been this culture of silence

around pregnancy and starting families.

It's been really difficult.

In track and field?

In track and field specifically.

In America or over the world?

I think all over.

In the sport, for sure in America, that's who I was in contact with.

So basically, I was seeing my friends struggle through motherhood.

I saw them either hide pregnancies if they needed new contracts.

I saw their contracts get paused.

There wasn't like this shiny example of, like, a mother who's, like, dominating and, like,

doing all the things.

It was more so, like, the struggle, not because they weren't capable, but because the support wasn't there,

it wasn't in place. And so for me, when I felt like I wanted to start a family, I was really

scared because I was like, I don't, I think that this could happen to me too. But I did feel like

I had waited, you know, I had already gone to four Olympics.

I felt like I had accomplished enough where I'm like, okay, maybe I'm safe.
