She’s back! My dear friend Eleana returns to IN THE KNOW WITH KO — and this time, with baby number two in her arms (well, sort of... she was in the final stretch of pregnancy during our convo, and now her baby girl is 4 months old!). We dive into what it looks like to prepare for a holistic birth experience, how to reach peak emotional and physical health, and the beautiful (and sometimes wild) ride of choosing your own path when it comes to labor and delivery.
We chat about how we first met in such a fun, full-circle way — renting her and her husband's house — and how that led to both friendship and launching businesses side by side. From mommy moments to mindset shifts, we talk about being more equipped this time around, leaning on our community of mom friends, knowing when to ask for help (and actually accept it), and truly surrendering to the journey of pregnancy.
This episode is full of heart, laughter, and some real talk about tuning into your body, honoring your spirit, and embracing the fact that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to childbirth. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, we hope this encourages you to do what’s best for YOU and YOUR family — and appreciate the magic of a supportive partner along the way.
