December 27, 2023224: Your Beliefs Create Your Life with Mimi Bouchard
In this episode, I sit down with Superhuman App creator Mimi Bouchard to discuss all things visualization and the power of intentional thinking. Mimi shares her trajectory over the past ten years and how she became passionate about personal development, how what she calls the “what if” pull guided her towards her true potential, and why perfection is a fallacy and your bounce-back rate is much more important. She talks about how she started practicing self-guided visualization which ultimately led to creating the Superhuman App, how your beliefs about yourself and the world around you create your life, and how you can tap into your future self frequency to embody the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Key Takeaway / Points:
On being a sharer and how that intersects with Mimi’s content
Mimi’s ten year journey towards personal development
On feeling the “what if” pull and sensing your true potential
On the fallacy of perfection and the importance of the bounce back rate

October 25, 2023215: Prodromal Labor and My Final Week and a Half of Pregnancy
In this solo episode, I make a brief comeback from maternity leave to give a full update on the craziness that has happened in the last week and a half of this pregnancy. I share a timeline of my prodromal labor experience, from the multiple hospital visits; to having ongoing contractions and being several centimeters dilated; to finally getting a scheduled induction.

Finally, I sign off for maternity leave for the last time (fingers crossed), and hope that this third visit to the hospital is the charm.
