I finally ripped the band-aid off, put down my cape, and started therapy. I have also been intentionally making steps to reconnect or stay connected to friends or family after a loooooong season of isolation. Welcome to the thoughts the go through my head. Enjoy!

Last time you heard from your host, Angela Dulaney, I shared with you my experience with my OB up to that point and why I switched to a birthing center. Well, things progressed rather quickly after that. After only 2 appointments with the Birthing Center midwives, I was diagnosed with Gestational Hypertension and referred out to a High Risk OB, which would later lead to a Severe Preeclampsia diagnosis, but not before spending 2 separate stays in the hospital. In this episode, I go into detail about our birth story and the events leading up to the birth of our beautiful babygirl. 

In this very special episode of the Crowned Avenue Podcast, I am giving listeners an update on my pregnancy journey so far, and some major changes that I had to make to take control of my prenatal care by making the decision, along with my husband, to switch from an OBGYN practice to a Birthing Center led by Midwives. 

After taking some time to myself over the past few weeks, I am back with another episode of the Crowned Avenue Podcast. This week, I take you through my thought process surrounding the current events, what trauma really is, and how I have been processing the trauma of being bombarded with terrible news pretty much on a daily basis over the past few weeks. Think of this as my first podcast journal entry. 

If you are having difficulty processing your thoughts and/or feelings, please take some time to love on yourself. If that is not enough, please take advantage of community in any way that you can.

In this episode, I share how she overcame and continue to overcome the lies of procrastination by replacing them with a few simple truths that get me all the way together. 

Alright y'all, this is my baby before my actual baby lol. In all seriousness, this is a project that has been on my heart for a WHILE, and this past 2 months of being able to quietly, and intentionally work on it has been a dream.
