When your due date doesn’t care about football season with guest Emma Kelly
Sunday Sports Club with Allison KuchShow Notes
Emma Kelly, wife of Vikings center Ryan Kelly, opens up about the hardest parts of NFL life nobody talks about. Emma wanted to share her story about losing their daughter Mary Kate at 20 weeks and delivering two-pound twins in a different state. She's getting real about her birth trauma, NICU life, the loneliness of being an NFL wife, why people need to stop saying "just relax," and how her surprise third pregnancy brought healing. This one will make you cry and realize how much strength it takes behind the scenes.

More from Sunday Sports Club with Allison Kuch
After almost three years, I'm ending Sunday Sports Club — but I'm not going anywhere. This podcast saved me when I was alone and pregnant, and I built an incredible community with all of you that I'm so grateful for. But right now, my priority is being present with my girls. You'll still see me everywhere else doing amazing things — this is just goodbye to this format. Thank you for letting me be myself and for being part of this journey. I love you guys.

This week Allison is joined by fitness creator and entrepreneur Chloe Gottschalk Bounds. The two moms chat about working out during pregnancy, balancing fitness with kids and marriage, and what staying active actually looks like when life is busy. It’s a fun, honest conversation about mom life, movement, and making a little time for yourself.
Allison sits down with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley, and this one is SO good!! They talk all about Mayci’s new memoir Told You So, what it was really like becoming a mom at 20, going back to BYU as a D1 athlete postpartum (!!), and how she’s navigated life, loss, and a whole lot of change in Utah. This convo is so open and real and all about showing up as yourself, no matter what anyone thinks.
Running it back to one of our favs! Kylie Kelce stopped by Sunday Sports Club while Allison was 36 weeks pregnant and possibly in labor. The two cover the real transitions of motherhood, which number kid is actually the hardest adjustment, gender disappointment, navigating unsolicited parenting advice, and Kylie's honest tips for labor and delivery. Equal parts chaotic and comforting... just like motherhood itself.
Part 2 is here! Allison picks up right where she left off - getting the epidural, laboring through the night with Isaac, a scary moment mid-epidural, and finally pushing (yes, TMI and all) to meet baby Pepper Jo. She wraps up with the full birth story, plus a heads-up that a Q&A episode is coming next. Go send your questions to the Sunday Sports Club Instagram.
