On the season 2 finale episode, we catch up in real time and share the hardest parts about becoming moms and raising babies during a global pandemic. We touch on the silver linings that make the hardest parts worth it. We get into some of our most boring self-care practices of late (spoiler alert, they're not really boring) and talk about the different ways we can stay calm, grateful and present during these tumultuous times. 

We talk about a few articles in this episode: 

• Becoming A Parent In The Pandemic Was The Hardest Thing I've Ever Done
• On The Cover Of New York Magazine: All Work, No Pay

We'll see you back for season 3 in a few weeks!

In today's episode, we sit down with Saran Vaughan to take a deep dive into the different phases of our cycles. Yes, those cycles. Saran's experience as Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, Herbalist and Intuitive Guide come together to help women take control of their hormone and reproductive health, reducing stress, and healing from chronic conditions. Today, we're covering the phases of our reproductive cycles and how each phase in our cycle is not only related to the moon, but related to a season. Saran calls these inner seasons and it's one way you can take control of your reproductive health and live in tune with your inner seasons. 

In this episode, you'll learn how to practice self-care for each of your inner seasons, how to nurture your mind and body, and how to activate and unearth these hidden powers you never knew you had.
