In this episode of Growing While We Go, I open up about my second trimester — the season everyone calls the “golden trimester” … but one that still came with plenty of surprises for me.

From ongoing nausea and intense vomiting to unexpected nosebleeds, major body changes, and new discomforts with sleep, I share the honest, unfiltered side of what the second trimester has really looked like for me. I also reflect on insights from Expecting Better by Emily Oster, including realistic dos and don’ts and how I’m learning to release the pressure to be a “perfect” pregnant person.

This conversation is about trusting God in a body that’s changing fast, finding peace in the uncomfortable, and growing through a season I didn’t expect. If you’re in your second trimester — or walking through any season that looks different than you imagined — this episode is for you 🤍
