Thrive on Plants

#12 - Milestones & Mindset: Thriving Through Pregnancy and Beyond


Listen Later

In this powerful follow-up episode, we continue our conversation with coach and plant-based mother Sarah Harper as she opens up about her experience through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum months.

Building on the emotional journey shared in Part 1, Sarah brings her trademark honesty and heart to the realities of navigating pregnancy after fertility challenges. She talks candidly about first trimester sickness, managing cravings on a plant-based diet, and how she adapted her workouts, breath-work, and mindset practices each trimester to stay grounded and strong.

We dive deep into:

  • Navigating nutrition and supplements during pregnancy and postpartum
  • Fitness, movement, and pelvic floor work throughout each stage
  • Mental health, body image, and the power of giving yourself grace
  • Postpartum healing, breastfeeding, and managing sleep
  • Creating a toxin-conscious environment for her growing family

Whether you're plant-based, pregnant, postpartum, or simply passionate about wellness and women's health, this episode is full of relatable insights and gentle reminders that progress, not perfection, is what truly matters.

Sarah’s story is a beautiful blend of vulnerability and empowerment and we’re so grateful she’s sharing it with our community.

👉 If you haven’t listened to Episode 11, “From Heartbreak to Hope,” we recommend starting there to hear the full arc of Sarah’s journey to motherhood. (https://youtu.be/rzIX5q8usPc?si=SoKPgJnKstax0m9x)
