54: Food Aversions, Fatigue & Finding New Boundaries - Week 9 Update
Welcome to Episode 54!
This week I’m sharing my brutally honest 9-week pregnancy update - and if you’re also in the trenches right now, you’re going to feel so seen.
I dive into:
- The level of exhaustion I did not see coming (like… bone-deep, nap-between-naps tired).
- Is this normal? A quick look at what’s happening hormonally in week 9 that explains everything.
- My new pregnancy boundaries, especially around exercise, movement, and energy output.
- Food aversions that came out of nowhere - when suddenly everything smells like “absolutely not.”
- How I’m navigating nourishment when “everything is yucky” and my nutrition brain is fighting my pregnancy stomach.
If you’re in the first trimester, prepping for pregnancy, or supporting someone who is, this episode is part science, part story, and part solidarity. The first trimester can be brutal, confusing, and lonely - so let’s normalize the messy parts.
Tune in for the real, raw, slightly-delirious truth of week 9.
