I share what I've learned over the last year of motherhood, how I feel emotionally and physically, how my relationship with my husband has changed and shifted, what it's been like to find a balance between who I am as a mom and who I am in my career, and much more.

This week on the podcast I am sharing part 1, talking all about pregnancy. In this episode, I talk about pre-pregnancy and conscious conception, what each trimester of pregnancy was like for me, including how I felt and what I experienced, as well as some of the most helpful resources that I used in my pregnancy and more.
