Just found out you’re pregnant and feel completely lost? This episode is your starting point!

Inside this episode, I walk you through the five things every newly pregnant woman needs to know:
💖 Why overwhelm is normal (but not necessary)
💖 The problem with drowning in random birth content
💖 The decision that impacts your birth more than your due date
💖 Why you are not a passive patient - you’re the HGIC (Head Girlie in Charge)
💖 What to actually focus on first in your prep (hint: it’s not baby clothes)

Plus, I share a personal story from my first birth that will show you exactly why this kind of prep matters - and how to avoid the mistakes I made.
