The Wrestling Wives Podcast

Kourtney Hardy & Final Episode of Season 1

Can you believe we've made it to the end of our first season? Mara and Nelson Baker are about to have their first kid! And Yessenia is heading off to cover Fargo-- DM to book her for photos. So, we'll be taking a little break until the fall. For our final episode, we've got something really special lined up. We chat with Kourtney Hardy, the amazing wife of D1 wrestler Brock Hardy, who wrestles at Nebraska and placed 3rd at the NCAA tournament.
Kourtney is such a gem, and she gives us an inside look at what it's like to be behind the scenes of being married to a collegiate athlete. She talks about the ups and downs, the emotional rollercoaster, and how she supports Brock through it all.
We get into some really good stuff, including pickleball, Utah, and of course wrestling.
Whether you're a die-hard wrestling fan or just love hearing inspiring stories, you won't want to miss this one. It's the perfect way to wrap up our first season, and we can't wait for you to watch!
Around minute 24 there are some technical difficulties, and you can't hear Mara and Yessenia. What you can't hear, is us asking Kourtney what she's up to this summer.
