I’ve been meaning to make this episode forever because I get sooo many questions about my pregnancy, while I was pregnant, postpartum, and honestly just from sharing my life online. So today we’re doing it: all things pregnancy with my first baby, Elsie.

I’m taking you all the way back to the beginning, because if you’ve followed me for a while, you know I was not the “I’ve always dreamed of being a mom” girl. Like… I dreaded babysitting. 😂 And then one day, it literally hit me out of nowhere: I want to have a baby.

In this episode I’m sharing:

the mindset shift I didn’t expect

trying to get pregnant + what that was like emotionally

how I found out I was pregnant (and how we told our families)

my trimester breakdown: the good, the hard, the gross, the real

cravings, sickness, skin stuff, weight gain, back pain… all of it

what I want to do differently before baby #2 (strength, habits, Hyrox, the whole thing)

Also, quick note: I know this topic can be tender. If you’re walking through infertility, loss, or waiting—my heart is with you. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

If you have more questions after this, DM me. And if you’re watching on YouTube, leave a comment with what you want me to talk about next (birth story episode…?? 👀).
